Hm very realistic, classic wolf stare ... I like animals +8/8

hey max one of ur best performance!!!!. a very cold Stare from the legendary animal. keep up ur good work.

Brilliant painting job, good icy colouring, and a tense composition. Good job.

Great work! The fur is amazing! Very realistic.

look like a photo, very nice!!!!

Absolutely brilliant!

And the blue eye adds just the right dash of color (o:

Meticulous. Looks smudged in some spots - is that intentional?

Have you considered adding some actual color? The wolf is just called "grey", you know.

P.S. Can't help noticing "bellas"'s comment of "looks like a photo".... As if that's a compliment!

I agree with Bellas! It looks like a photo!! Great work and wonderful dog!

Is this a painting ???

yes it is a painting...
i had used around 16 layers for the fur...
i had used the a continuous stroke in some parts that looks like a smudge, is actually intentional like 'arenhaus' had posted...
no, i dont have any ideas to add any more colors to it...
in fact, i'd rather forget about this artwork and move on to something new!
call me crazy, well, that's what i am

Still nicely done! Very nice detail, I think the nose is the most impressive though, the lighting on it is right on!

Hey, that's no wolf, that's a husky!

Nice portrait though. Just curious, what was your intent for leaving those smudgey areas smudgey? (i.e. what kind of effect were you aiming for?)

Great composition, contrast, and fur!
