Description Staring at the sea
Will she come?
Is there hope for me
After all is said and done
Anything at any price
All of this for you
All the spoils of a wasted life
All of this for you
All the world has closed her eyes
Tired faith all worn and thin
For all we could have done
And all that could have been

Ocean pulls me close
And whispers in my ear
The destiny I’ve chose
All becoming clear
The currents have their say
The time is drawing near
Washes me away
Makes me disappear

I descend from grace
In arms of underflow
I will take my place
In the great below

I can still feel you
Even so far away
-- "The Great Below" Nine Inch Nails

Switch up the she to he for the lyrics and it'd fit better. Might be hard to understand in my horrible sketch, but she has her hand on a flattened-grass area where her Wolfish mate would usually be. The sun is setting in the background with a full sky and mountains and open terrain for emotions as she sits there by herself, wondering where he's gone. Or rather, why he left.

Might switch up the background to include an ocean in there somewhere. We'll see.

was nice enough to do a colored version of this for me which can be seen here: [link]
Thanks again~

The face and hair are my favorite parts of this drawing. Can't wait to see a colored version. And you have great taste in music.

I really like this sketch. Nice theme, and especially with nice quotes from NIN, you can't go wrong in fulfilling the mood of the piece. I can't wait to see this colored. Only thing I see that is a little skewed is the forearm/hand area... the forearm looks a little short. I hope her wolfie comes back!

In my semi-colored version I'm working on on this I already fixed the arm I saw it was a bit short too
