I really like how you did the fur. It looks so fluffy. Interesting that your prior lecture lured you into that strange poppy red in the background. I mean strange in a positive way It makes me look twice.

The inspiration was just blood to be honest fading animals into the background is one of my favourite things to paint, haha!

omg, I know. It's so sad and tragic.
I wish the revolution did not happen. Even though it's for a good cause, but the way they did that to achieve it was... violent.

Really nice coloring!
The wolf looks so beautiful~

I'm not so sure that the french revolution could have been made without violence. It was such a big change in french society, that if those in opposition wouldn't have put up such a fight, the aristocracy would just have ignored them. The lower classes had tried to make their voices heard for such a long time, that the violence was just an act of pure desperation; it was their only way to truly get those in power to listen to them. Another part of it all was how the violence escalated so enormously fast, which the guillotine only spurred. And that downwards spiral of violence is typical for any such situation, where people start seeing enemies everywhere. However, I do not agree that violence is good.

History asides, thank you for your kind words! I was not so sure about the hue of the red at first to be honest, but I've really come to like it.
