Description "She had done it, it had worked! Praise the moon she had survived where so few had in the past. She was born anew, and look at her! She was gorgeous in her new pelt of white and gold, her golden eyes shining in the moonlight. The blessed moonlight that had enabled her transformation from a normal human to a strong member of his race. He didn't kid himself, however. He knew it was all her doing. She was strong in heart and mind and had the soul of a wolf, which was rare. Power and grace were hers as she tested her new body, reveling in her speed and senses. Gods, she was beautiful, his soul mate. The change had been almost laughably easy compared to others he had witnessed. Had she not wanted this, had she resisted it...but she hadn't. She hadn't, and had survived.

Mentally he shook himself and kept pace with her, watching her excitement at her first run in her new form, her beautiful lupine face glowing. This life she was a part of now was perilous and dark, nothing like the life she had known before. But there was no small amount of magic in it as well, and nothing was more joyous to a Kierrn than to simply run. He remembered his first run well as he kept pace with her through the moonshadowed forest. To suddenly lose a sluggish and slow human body and to all at once be able to run like the very wind itself, to move without effort, almost without thought, as if you possessed wings....

Soon he would have to teach her to fight, to hunt, to kill and feed, but for now he simply allowed her this bliss, allowed her to take joy in what she now was as they ran side by side under the glowing moon."

Yep, another colored Kierrn [link] piece by yours truly.
Two Kierrn (werewolves) run in their Wolfen (near wolf) forms under a rising moon.
My usual watercolor and colored pencil on 14 X 8 Bristol with a limited pallette and muted colors for that whole dreamy, night time effect.
And yes, Kierrn paws ARE that big, because these are NOT wolves.
The 'official' page for this piece can be found here [link]

What can I say? I adore my children...fur, fangs, and all

I have read your detailed Kierrn factsheet back to front so to speak and you have inspired me to create my own species (i never liked the mindless bloodthirsty interpretation of werewolves) and as i was writing, i fount that i use the word "wolfen" many times. Is this your word specifically like "kierrn" is? If so can i ask your permission to use it? I will give you credit for the word...as well as the inspiration (i love your work *hug*)

I love how everything is so anatomically correct, here. I mean, you even bothered with a sheath, and I don't know many people that work like that. Save for the many that I find enjoy doing porn, which involves animals, and... /that/ just scares me. Lovely job, Gold.

This is really lovely. I love the muted colors, and the expressions on both of their faces. The fur is really great, there's a lot of detail, and best of all, it's in traditional media!!

All in all, a beautiful piece.

Ooooh....

Amazing art, especially the fur, I envy people who can make their fur look real, 'cause I can't seem to get it right. I like the paws and ears, too. For wsome reason I focus on things like that. The paws're cool, somewhat humanoid, but yet not. (Wow. Am I descriptie or what?) I've tried to acheive something similar, and have never quite managed it...

Good work!

Also, VERY nice website... It's an amazing amount of work you've done 'fleshing out' the Kierrn (-looks up to see if she's spelled that right-) and I wish I could stay focused long enough to flesh my creations out that well.

But the moonlight is so realistic in the drawing and how the Kierrn are running is so majestic

frogystyle2002 [2004-10-27 05:43:15 +0000 UTC]

this is absolutely wonderful, im in love with it!!! Question though, when you create your pieces, what do you do first? The watercolored backgrounds, or the colored pencil wolves? And do you incorporate the watercolor into the wolves, and vice versa? Just a curious question. I hope you can find the time to get back to me, i would really like to know, but anyways, these are really really awesome. Ohh, and one more thing, I got to meet your friend, Sandra Santara at Archon 2004, an amazing woman *is wearing one of her teeshirts at the moment* Just an interesting note, lol.

*stares in admiration* OOOO ....ahhhh.... It reminds me of the book 'Bitten' by Kelley Armstrong... There is a female werewolf who looks alot like this and another werewolf who is alittle different but still reminds me of when they run right after their Change. Its an amazing book..you'd like it Golden..Or i think you might....Everytime I read this I see this image running through my head..actually running...



GREAT JOB!!

You have create two pieces of umbelievable art, full of talent and wild magic.
The first piece is about the beauty of the work, the amazing lines that give life to everything, each tree, each plant and each animal are very gorgeous, and the color techique so full of definition that guive a "real" body to the animals, i can see the muscle and the fur.
The second piece is about the text information that you show us the the evolution, the ways and the triumph of life
