Description
Yet another tattoo commission, this time a celtic dire wolf rampant surrounded by tribal designs. This is the mythical dire, not the prehistoric one (difference: the prehistorics weren't snaggle-toothed or much larger than normal timber wolves). This was originally going to be black and white, but the red just seemed so much more dramatic.I love his mane. He's curly-furred, heh.
Done in Photoshop Elements 4.0, mostly with the lasso tool.

This is very lovely, precise work, but it's more Renaissance than Celtic.

Hi, I really like the textural designs on your picture, and would like to use it as the cover of my online book. I didn;t want to just take it without giving you credit for your hard work.

Would you be completely against me using this as a basis for my own tattoo?

Yes, I'm afraid, since this was a design for someone else and they probably wouldn't appreciate it.

This has wormed its way into my subconscious somehow. I've been trying to design my coat of arms for the SCA (society for creative anachronisms) and i got the brilliant idea for a wolf rearing up with its tongue sticking out. Looked all over the net for such a thing in the style i was thinking of, didn't find anything. Then today, i was looking through my favorites and there it was! curly fur and all! i might hav to get in touch with you about a commission, this but altered a bit ^-^

It's wonderful! I love how it has the classic look of crest animals to it, as well as Celtic designs. What a great tattoo, I envy the person who gets it! :3

This reminds me of a 'Goosebump-y' novel about a girl who visits relatives in Ireland only to find out her family is the sworn enemy of a clan of werewolves. The weres were distingiushed by having red fur. This could have been their C.o.A
