Description
This took way too much of my life to make! I know there are lot of mistakes and other things I could improve on, but I'm calling it good for now (may do more later)! I'm actually pretty proud of this one overall.Basically, this is me (or how I would be if I were a werewolf). He has no specific name (just shares mine), but Celestialwolf is what I go by on the internet now (just can't change it here on DA).
Thanks to for his helpful critiques!

Great character! c: Really like the coloring, and the fur definition to him. ^^ The only thing I have to critique is that his body looks a little awkward in normal wolf form.
His head seems a little too big, and the neck needing to just a little bit longer. His stomach and back shouldn't arch so much, and the mid-body in general isn't long enough either; make this section just a little bit thicker, and a little bit longer as well. His hindquarters aren't thick enough as well, especially in the thigh area. I don't really know what to say about the tail, though; if you were going for realistic, it should be a bit more fluffy, but the length seems fine. c:
Overall, though, I love the effort you put into the work, and I like the image as a whole, especially the colors and what you did with the werewolf form. C:
Eh... sorry for the random critique there, and I hope I don't come off as rude or anything. :/

Yeah, I suck at art. That's why I gave up on it.
Glad you like my character though.

It's not that you suck; it's not that at all! D: You're pretty good, actually. Just need a little practice here and there, and you'll be great! C:

You used fireworks!!!! I thought I was the only one that used it!

That was the program they taught us with in high school, so that's what I know how to use.
Fireworks can do some things Photoshop can't, but I wish they would have taught us Photoshop instead because it's much more universal. Humorously enough, they're both made by the same company now (Adobe) anyway!

I was taught Fireworks in Advanced Computers and Photoshop in Photography, both at the same time, so many headaches. Though Fireworks is not as universal as Photoshop, for my type of work I prefered Fireworks, plus I beleve it's cheaper.

would should do a trade or somethin sometime! Your character looks really fun to make! And sounds a lot like my characters personality. WEREWOLF BUDDIES! lol

I'm flattered that you'd want to do a trade with me! I need to get back up and drawing again; it's been too long. Once I start submitting things again, remind me and I'll see what I can do (for a trade).

no problem ^-^ I really think that you can still draw. Its hard for someone to lose their talent that quick you know?

The fur looks gorgeous. What font is used for "CelestialWolf" "Gestalt" and "Wolf"? I really like it!

Thank you! I hope to put more work into onto the fur later...
Anyway, the font is Neverwinter and can be downloaded here: [link]
Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet, thank you! Is it from the game Neverwinter Nights? I thought it looked familiar...
π: 0 β©: 1
Um, I think so... I never played it myself and saw it played only once

Awesome! Great character design. You really need to draw more often.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! I blame you for suggesting I go ahead and make it...
Maybe I'll start drawing more in the upcoming months; I want to buy Photoshop and/or learn Gimp now that I have Linux. Maybe a tablet, too. We'll see!

I hope so! You have too much talent to squander.

very awesome work! I bet it took forever lol

It did take forever! I started some time last week and only just finished last night! I've been putting everything else off to try and just finish the stupid thing! Personally I think the wolf looks better than the werewolf (and he took less time to do as well) but they both need a lot of work...
