Legacy by Eskiworks

Legacy

Eskiworks

"These past few months my mind has wandered to the darkest of places, concerned about what the future holds. But now those fears have been extinguished after I saw you for the first time.

Feeling your paws in mine for the first time fills my spirit with pride and joy. Emotions that I haven't felt in years and now I'm grateful to feel them again.

I hope I won't disappoint you and now as I hold you in my arms, I feel pride in knowing that you Dawn are my legacy."

Commission for Stormwolff, of his family trio of wolves! This one was so sweet to draw, I almost never get to paint baby animals. And such a wonderful idea too, thank you Stormwolff! The above short story was written by Storm just for this painting. =)

    The lighting tho. Wowzers!

    i really love this piece you made! my favorite part of it is the lighting, making it look like dawn (or dusk), which helps set what the piece means. i like how he sunlight creates an aura around them, shining through their ears. thank you for posting this, it made my day.

      Thank you! I didn't intend on this sort of lighting until the last minute, oddly enough. I was looking through sky references to try to find a nice sky I liked, and decided this would be a nice lighting scheme for the setting. Thanks so much for your comment!

    Those are hands, not paws. Opposable thumb = hand

      1) I didn't write the story, so I think your comment is a bit misdirected
      2) folks in the fandom refer to anthro animals' hands as paws all the time, it's a very tiny piece of subculture vernacular that you will likely see a lot more. We know they are hands, we enjoy calling them paws. ;)

    Family pictures! Good, we don't have enough of these. Also, the art is extremely well done. That pup is adorable. Consider yourself favorite.

      Thank you very much! I find myself wishing I could draw more little baby anthros after making this painting. ^^

        Please do, we'd love to see them, and the fandom is so bereft of them.

    Y U make such pretty?

    Awesome work, as usual. I love the lighting and emotional impact of this

      Haha, thank you so much! =D

    Definitely one of the most precious images I have seen in a while. Baby animals are just the best. Baby anthros? Just as adorable. Your art is always lovely, even if I'm mostly a silent lurker...oops.

    How did this only take 13 hours for such mastery haha

    What a lovely trio. And I'd have to assume, what a lovely sunrise.

    Right in the feels. So precious.
