'Spirit of a Wolf, Heart of a Man' is the full title but it wouldn't fit

I finished my Alcide picture! I had him up in my Current WIP pic here - [link]

To recap a bit, I did the picture because Joe Manganiello, the actor who plays Alcide in the show True Blood, is the first person to ever make me change the way I viewed a character in my head. I read a lot and I visualize the characters in my head, and no show, or movie, or fanart makes me change my personal view of the character. However, when I saw Mr. Manganiello as Alcide, I had to stop and rethink my vision of the character. I mean, facial hair makes so much sense for a werewolf And his whole look just really pulls this character together for me, so for the first time I changed my mind about how a character looks. (Except the green eyes, Alcide is not losing his pretty green eyes ^^) I also pictured the wolf different, I imagined a black and brown sprinkled with a bit of white and the same green eyes. When I saw his white wolf, I was like, what? That doesn't match his looks at all. Then I had to go through the books to figure out if they ever actually described Alcide's wolf. Now, I am not through them all, but I haven't seen a description of his wolf. Is there one? But I made the wolf white because I did Alcide based on the show, so I figured the wolf should follow suit. That, and the other reason I made the picture was because Joe Manganeillo was going to DragonCon, and so was I, so I wanted to give him a picture, to kind of say, "Hey, thanks for being he first guy to change my mind on a character". It was impressive to me and I know it's silly but I still did it.
AAAAAAAAAAAND
I did get to give it to him! And apparently he likes art and he really liked it. It was so cute when I gave it to him. He was all, "You made this for me?" and had this adorable 'I can't believe I just got a picture' (again, earlier he had mentioned how he liked to draw, so this was kinda cool I thought ^^) But I was like, yes (I felt silly and didn't know what to say >.<) and he just got the biggest smile on his face, it was soooooooooooooo cute! Words can't explain, it was just that cute. He held it up next to him and asked if I wanted a photo, so I got to take a photo too! (btw, dragoncon/actor's agents don't let you do photos except for assigned photoshoots, that you have to pay for-so that was super awesome too! I mean, technically you can take photos of them while they are at panels, but I got an up close shot with him and my drawing! ) So yeah, it was pretty awesome. I saw him later and he signed an extra copy that I had of the drawing for me ^^ He gave the wolf a speech bubble that said 'Howl!" I am gonna put up the signed picture and possibly a WIP later ^^

Well, now that I have wrote a novel I think I will get back to working on other things @.@ Hope you all enjoy! This was the first time I have drawn/painted a wolf, so don't judge it to harshly >.< (Btw, I love the wolf's ear, I was very proud of it...I know I am a dork )

Enjoy!
