This was my first piece for the werewolf calender! I wanted this piece to convey how lonely living in an extreme environment can be an an individual. The long, cold, dark nights living in the arctic, without a pack, can be harsh on the heart of such a social creature. The sun's warmth can mean a lot to someone who has been waiting through a long night alone. Seeing that first light peek over the horizon and feeling the sun's warm kiss is like a comforting embrace from a loved one when times are hard. This werewolf has been through hard times, but life is looking up for him. The sun is warming his back, and soon he'll be on the move to find better days.
This painting marked the point in time when I stopped using greyscale marker as an underpainting, which I'm glad I did. It was a fun technique for a while, but it was only a stepping stone to becoming more comfortable painting digitally.

Thank you! Basically I made a greyscale marker drawing, scanned it into photoshop, set it to multiply and colored underneath it. It made it easy to mentally seperate the texture from the overall lighting and color scheme at the time. But now it's sort of a useless step, good for learning though!

That actaully explains how and why your traditional work looks so similar to your digital. It's pretty cool how you could make that transfer. My digital stuff has surpassed my traditional by leaps and bounds. But that's what happens when my "learning years" are all placed in learning digital tricks. I still want to go back to tradtional though, just can't get the richness from digital. Least I can't haha

I'm doing the same thing. I've learned a lot about light and color in the last couple years, but it's all been digital. I would like to take what I learned and apply it to acrylic again, I even did some recent experiments to see if I could. Going to keep pursuing it though!

I always loved how at a glance this looks like a normal canid, but closer you can see the anthromorphic truth. I also didn't know you used to use greyscale. I always wondered how that worked. Anyway amazing work as usual haha
