Here is another piece by my friend Syrion34 (https://www.deviantart.com/syrion34), only this time more recent, it was a Birthday piece he made for me and Fail-Seeker (https://www.deviantart.com/fail-seeker) this year. It was a pleasant and welcome surprise which I still express my most sincerest thanks to him. ^^

It depicts both of our characters, my fox knight Sir Vulpes and my bro's wolf samurai Okami-Dono, with the idea behind this scene shown piece is a possible/potential future for both characters as being veterans in their fields, like being at least in the mid to late 30s. Both bearing with scars from all the battles they have faced in their respective lands and outside of that in their paths up to that point. OR they both might have settled down at that point, but even then the two still keep up their ways learned with their respective Orders. In a sense, once a samurai and knight, always a samurai and/or knight. Both continuing to protect their home villages and people. Plus, that the two very well might take up teaching other people and students from their Orders in their ways of Ronin samurai and Templar knight. It could go either way......... For now it is up in the air.

Also, composition-wise this has a rather Gothic feel to it that I find quite appealing, like out of a Tim Burton-esque animation, or a Gothic graphic novel. Another thing, one can see this piece either of the two warriors standing together, or in a split-screen-esque manner ref with the two occupying one side each, like they do their respective sides of the world, Ireland and Japan. Either reading works here. ^^

Yet again, I offer my gratitude and thank him profusely for this gift and I again recommend you all to check out and support his wonderful gallery for he deserves more success.
