Description Someday this thought will be complete. There will be a stable population of red wolves (Canis rufus) spread along the east coast.

We have come a long way from the 17 wolves left in 1980, but still have a long way to go. Around 100 red wolves roam the wilds of N. Carolina and another 180 in captive facilities.

My dream is for these beautiful creatures to become stable enough to maintain a good population without constant human monitoring. Just as the goal as not been reached, neither is the picture fully realized.

Colored pencil over pencil sketch, and yes, it is supposed to look unfinished ^_^

When I fist saw this piece, I thought it was just unfinished. I really like your idea behind it. It's touching and though provoking.

I hope one day you'll be able to finish it.

thanks!

Naw, its a red wolf ^_^ Though if I'm correct they are about the same size. Mexican wolves tend to be paler and shaggier

love the contrast between the sketchy parts and the attention to details in the finished parts.
and the metaphor behind it is really fitting.

you drew this on paper? even more awesome then.

you're welcome.
I always try to give reasons for why I like or dislike something. I know that artists like to know that.
