Description
~Every five years, at the time of the first snow storm of the winter, a lone Wolf will travel down from the Restless forests and into the Peaceful meadows. The Wolf wrecks havoc, destroys every nest it finds and slaugthers those animals that haven't found a good enough place to hide, then leaves as suddenly as it came, and won't be seen for the next half of a decade.And every time the animals of the meadows will choose the bravest warrior to challenge the beast, believeing and hoping that one year the messanger Bullfinch will fly to the Hiding Place bringing word of a great victory. Then the Peaceful meadows would finally truly be peaceful. ~
This one is probably the personal artwork I've spent the most time on in AGES, and my hand doesn't even hurt this time! : D I finally decided to mix around with the sensitivity-settings of my tablet, and behold; not having to constanly press the pen down as if trying to kill it miraculously relives the stress on my wrist. Who would have thought... ^^'

There's a great epic feel to this. From the blowing of the wind containing the hints of winter snow to accentuate the cold feeling of the atmosphere. How much of the Wolf is not entirely visible, enhancing its meancing appeal. Throwing in the story passage only made this even better. I applaud you, good sir, for creating this.

An amazing scenery. Love everything about the image.
Especially the use of brown and white colour, the way you can see the wind blow and that the smaller characters takes up the battle.
Surely sparked my interest to check you and your gallery out further. Lots of love from a fellow artist.

The rabbit looks pretty damn highly trained, so I think it's going to win.

Do you know something about Overgrowth? I think the art here fits very well with that game (i know there is nothing in common really).
