Description They need a 'Wildlife or something similar' category. 'Males' will have to suffice i guess because they're both male in the story. :>

Anyway, here be my finished 10 hour exam piece. Aesop's fable 'The Dog and the Wolf', illustrated. Completely hand drawn in Photoshop 6.
There are definately some parts i'm not too happy with and some parts i think came out great. But overall, it's not bad.

And uh.. Please don't ask why the dog's neck looks severed. Read the story. :]
(Incase you were wondering, he was meant to be a fat Labrador but ended up looking more like a Shar Pei cross..)


For those not familiar with the story:

Credit goes to good old Aesop for inspiration, Corbis for some reference photos and my dog and various parts of Rottingdean for posing for me.

Edit: Re-upload because the image messed up.

You did a wonderful job on the detail here. It looks great! And I remember this fable. I had to do a small report on it in the seventh grade.

haha. i love that old story. the walls in particular are very good; i know that may seem a little odd, since there's so little of them visible, but a crappy background *coughpersonalexperiencecough* can kill an otherwise good piece, and you have deftly avoided such a problem.

away with me and my quaint wording!
