Description
EDIT The new Submit page screwed this all up. Here's the description it should have posted with:This is my incredibly belated half of a trade for , who is awesome and drew me this piece of amazingness:
I'm so sorry this is so late
This was sort of experimental in method and style, and didn't come out quite how I wanted it to. If one were to critique this, I imagine it would be really easy to pick apart for flaws. Backgrounds are tricky things to figure out. I may come back to it and edit some, but I've taken too long as it is. Anyway, hope you like it~ I love Vulkan's design.
Character (C) *WolfHowl10
WIP here:
Something about it look different than it did in Photoshop. It looks too contrasty? There's something going on anyway.

Lovely job! Totally liking the style of coloring in this one. S/he seems so happy walking amongst the remnants of a flaming forest!
Love the detail on the fur and those leeeaaaveees~

It seems to hate us too D: Why is Include in Featured a thing that has to deliberately be checked now? I'm going to forget that so many times. I don't approve of this.
Thank you! C:

Ughhuu this is so nice, Fero <3 Really like the background work with this, especially the painted look it all has. Your backgrounds are really developing :0 Also diggin' that fur texture work with the character and the rain effects. That burnt area also looks nice, as does the fire. Splendidly done, m'dear. Keep it up :>
Oh, but a little tip with backgrounds: Things generally get lighter/less saturated as they get further away (atmospheric perspective ) and either way, it helps to focus the subject more when there's a lot of contrast up front.

Thank you! Good to hear~
Ooh yes I didn't even think to implement that. That could really add some depth here; I may have go back and to do that some time.

I think it turned wonderful. Well, at least it's WAY better then WIP variant
I don't see here many features to be judged. I just think there should be more reflexes from fire on trees, ground... maybe on thw wolf too. But this issue doesn't hurt the eyes, the piece is beautiful at all.

Ahh this turned out wonderfully! Its very gorgeous Canis, you should be proud! I really love the color scheme here, how there are fairly neutral and earthy tones broken only by the fire. Even the raindrop color is toned down, but it all works together in a great way. There is also an interesting mix of lines in this (horizontal line going almost straight across the treetops on the right side down to the closest fire), and the landscape itself is visually interesting.
The whole thing looks like a traditionally painted piece actually! The background has a large influence on that. The careful way that you painted the character makes it fit perfectly with the image, rather than it standing out awkwardly like so many pieces tend to do.
Anyways I'll stop rambling, but I want to say that all of the hard work you put into this really shows, and its gorgeous to look at

asdfgdfd thanks so much! 8D Really glad to hear all that; I haven't done anything exactly like this before so I wasn't sure if I was doing it well or not |D I love in-depth comments like this~ c:

You did it wonderfully, don't worry! I absolutely love it! And its my pleasure haha. I've been trying to get better at writing better comments lately, but in truth they are much easier to do on full pictures like this one is. Its hard to give them on flats or something similar lol.

I looove it! Such gorgeous scenery! The little flames are a nice touch. And Vulkan, he looks awesome! Just strolling around in the rain. And I really like the texture of the painting, especially in the trees. The composition is very neat too! Very good job! Totally worth waiting for! Thank you!
