Description This is a personal piece as well as just a huge thank you to everyone who has ever been especially kind to me, particularly for the big outpouring of love which I received after I experienced a moment of great insecurity earlier this March -> rosannapbrost.tumblr.com/post/… I wasn't expecting any feedback at all on that post - in fact, I almost deleted it, as I do most of my momentary whines these days, because most of the time I feel like nobody wants to listen to me, but when I saw what people had written I left it there. 

So - just thank you. And this huge project is also dedicated to all the other people out there who like me feel like a lone wolf in the void, wishing and calling desperately for a pack family of their own yet finding none - there may not be someone listening out there who can be that, but there's always someone there who can help you feel better and remind you that you are loved. Of course, this can also be read other ways. I hope you'll read it however feels best to you.  

For those who are a little confused over the identity of the canine critter that our arctic wolf (Canis lupis arctos) meets, it's an arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) in its seldom seen summer coat. Backgrounds were referenced by photographs of arctic tundra from all over the world, but especially from the Canadian territory of Nunavut and jolly old Siberia. It has been a very long time since I have attempted to paint a background and I am very proud of what I produced here. This project took quite a while to produce, but it was worth it and I am pleased with the overall result. I hope you like it. I've been wanting to create something beautiful like this, based on the magnificent summer arctic tundra (which I feel was as big a character as our wolf and fox in this) for quite a while.

You can see all of the backgrounds better (sans characters) here-> rosannapbrost.tumblr.com/post/…

This is wonderful!! So true! I love how the Arctic doc is drawn with its summer coat; I only see that pretty rarely. This is great!

Psh I had no idea you had a tumblr, had I known I would've sent you much love over a message, but I'll tell you right now I hope you do find the love you're looking for. From couples I have met, as well as parents I've met, some didn't find "the one" until their late thirties! In my opinion, it is never too late. The great thing about love is that it's timeless and has no age, gender, and all that. Of course for us humans as we walk through life, the unpredictability of love (not only romantic love, but any kind of love- as you have pointed out) can and is frustrating to deal with. But, I'm so glad you have gotten feedback and support. You are loved by so many, and I can guarantee you will receive that love you are so wiling to give!

Also, I'll just add really quick that I've been a watcher of you on dA for quite a while- and you are so talented and creative!! Definitely one of my favorite artists

Much love to ya!

I really like the art and sentiment.  The art is really well done  (especially the various viewing angles) and I think a lot of people can relate to the sentiment.
