Description
I could not post this until now
. Cover art for I was privileged to do for a literary anthropomorphic themed magazine called Renard's Menagerie. You may visit the site to find out more about the magazine at: [link] The cover imagery is meant to depict one of the stories from the issue.
Well this was a challenge in more ways than one. I don't typically paint people for one..and of course wolves aren't something often seen from me as well but overall I really enjoyed painting this piece and learning as I went along. Some stock photos were also used to mesh with the painted elements. I have been leery of using stock photos in combination with painted elements as I still have mixed feelings on the matter...but even that in itself turned out to be a learning experience. I also worked smaller than I usually do for such paintings.
Size: 10x6.5" at 300 dpi
Tools: photoshop & graphics tablet
Time: ? Can't really say
Prints: 8x10 available through my, 10$ plus S&H, pm or e-mail me if interested
Critique: I welcome constructive criticism but I am also fully aware of the flaws in this piece..as I have been sitting on it for over a year now!

Incredible emotion on her face - beautiful!
Please let me know if the woman was from stock? If so, I'd love to see it

No it wasn't stock, most of her was made up with a few refs to help guide me x}.

In that case this is even more extraordinary. I adore the realistic expression.

*stares* Oh my-- !! 
It is AWESOME, it really is.
I actually had to look behind my back, just in case 
Only thing that seems a bit wrong in this picture is maybe the woman's hand. It seems to be left hand but looks like it's coming from the right. But this whole pic is so great that that kind of little thing doesn't pop up from it.

I love this picture. the shading of the colors and the girl as well. This reminds me an awful lot of Twilight. But i need to ask of a favor. Can i get the picture without the watermark in the middle? I want to make a card for my friend and i was thinking of using a black wolf. Please reply as soon as possible. I greatly appreciate it if you help me. Thanks~

The only thing that threw me off a bit was her hand but I don't see any flaws. This piece is very beautiful the way you did it as well with the emotion.
