Might as well make this a brief summary for everyone with a pic in progress:
Bunny___ - Your male is mostly done (still has shading and some spotting left), as another person had a Leopard father so I did your boy's colouring at the same time to make sure I didn't make them identical. It'll be a while yet - when it says on the main post to be patient, I mean 'wait a couple weeks or so' patient. >.< I unfortunately don't have nearly as much time as I'd like to work on these, so it's a pretty slow turnaround. I keep a little progress report on the main post so you can see what stage your pic is currently at.

Silver - yours is finally done and will be posted tonight; all it needs is the transparent background. ^^
x_inFlames_x - I'm working on yours right now, actually. One pup is still getting its spots and the rest of the family is coloured, so it's almost at the final 'shading' stage. Might be up tonight with Silver's, as I like to post the new pics in batches. Same deal with your female as for the Leopard males - Painted requested the rainbow wolf as well, so I did them at the same time to make sure they didn't come out identical.
Thistle - Scythe is coloured and Assassin has his tails done at least. The mask and sword/snake are next on the list for him. I'm also working on your pup's design.
Lighty - your female is started, the male and pups aren't, but they shouldn't take very long to do as the parents have fairly straightforward designs.
Painted - your female is coloured and the male is mostly done (just needs his pale grey spots added). See the note on x_inFlames_x's report about your females being done at the same time.

Everyone else who has put in a request but isn't on this list, your pics haven't been started yet but probably will be soon. I usually have about five families on the go, or up to three singles in place of one family to a max of fifteen at one time. I'm probably going to be putting a limit on family pics, as they take a long time to do and tend to have very complex designs for the parents, making them take even longer. Singles tend to get done much sooner than families, as I only work for a certain amount of time on each pic before moving to the next one (on a rotation) and so singles or easy designs get done before complex families. This way it reduces the waiting times and doesn't make everyone wait forever for one person's difficult pic to be finished so I can move on to theirs. However, it does mean that the complex families take longer to get done. A few things that make a design more difficult include: chains around the neck/body; lots of fine details; spots/stripes; objects (apart from halos and strings); major lineart changes (particularly changing the tail of A1); wolves that are a mix of white and black (difficult for shading). If a wolf has any of these, expect it to take a bit longer - if it has several (or even all), it'll take a lot longer! Don't worry - I won't give up on it and it'll get done eventually.
