Description So I noticed some people try to draw wolfes on DA, but they don't succeed becouse they draw the wolfes too long backs and whatnot, so because I have seen a real wolf in a zoo, I decided to draw you all a tutorial, hopefully it helps.

And If You Were Going To Complain About Something, It's Not Perfect, But It's 200% Better Than Anything Else And Anyhow It's My Style, Do Not Steal Or You Go To Jail!

Have you ever heard wolfes howl? (I did once in a nature documentary) They sound like that becouse they're filled with sorrow and angst. And EVERYBODY knows having angst is way more dark and edgy than being misunderstood.

But thanks, the one before last one really helped me grasp the wolfness.

Wolfes cubs are so cute! I even have a rescued wolf but shuuush, dont tell anione. I'm gonna let mine out in the Wild so that he can be a real wolf and then he'll come back and I know that he loves me alot and accepts me into his pakc.

Very much sarcasm.

Sadly this type of thing does happen. People purchase a wolf or wolf-mix (the tests for the percentage of wolf-DNA are extremely unreliable. What with dogs having about 99% of the same DNA as wolves)because they want power or feel a spiritual connection. After the animal becomes too big to handle they decide to release the animal into the 'Wild'. The animals typically die within 72 hours of being released to live 'free'.

To be honest, the wolf's back needs to be longer than you've drawn it. If you're aiming for realistic (or, um, wolf-like), it needs to be much more like the "badger with stumpy legs and no tail". However, your stylistic approach definitely shows a distinctive style- nice job!

Yes, I am aware of that now do to the five messages I have have got telling me what an idiot I am. I have even sent a note to the artist apologizing for my comment.
You are the third person who has replied to my comment saying something akin to this. I left that comment on that picture a LONG time ago- why is everyone just now jumping on the wagon to yell at me about it?

Whitefeathur In reply to Cloudkitty [2012-12-02 19:20:13 +0000 UTC]

I just saw the picture and no replies to it.

I'm not yelling at you lol, I typed "it's a joke" is all. Never did I say, or even imply that you were or are an idiot. It's the internet bromigo, chill. If your aggravated go comment on the picture and say "oh never mind it's a joke, ahahahah". I read all the comments before I replied to you and never saw any other replies to yours.

Cloudkitty In reply to Whitefeathur [2012-12-02 19:50:38 +0000 UTC]

You are correct, so I apologize for 'putting those words in your mouth' so to speak. I assumed that was what you were doing, and we all know what they say about assumptions.
And really? That is very odd because Ms-CoffeePixie and Chrinik have commented on my post.
Here is a link to show proof, but I'm not sure it will work : [link]
My original comment on this picture was done quite a while ago and yes, I did not realize it was a joke. So, thus, finding out it was cause me extreme embarrassment- which was why I jumped on you without warning. So I am sorry for that. You did not deserve it.

And here comes the wannabe DA police
Chrinik already sent me a detailed response to my reply to the picture detailing how incredibly
stupid i was for not realizing it was a joke- and I agree. It incompletely went over my head that it was a joke and i ALREADY sent a note to that particular artist apologizing for my comment.
So, would you like to complain and make fun of me for anything else without knowing the whole story first?

...What? I'm merely saying that you got on my case for no reason and assumed something, thus causing this current conflict between us.
I would actually like to know what was it about my comment that angered or annoyed you so much to actually contact me, a complete stranger, in the first place?
Did you contact every other person who didn't get the joke and posted a disrespectful comment or did you just reply to me?

Ms-CoffeePixie In reply to Cloudkitty [2012-12-02 19:37:33 +0000 UTC]

No, I actually replied to multiple other people. And I do believe you're taking this a bit too far. My comment was in no way rude. Sarcastic, yes. Rude, no. There's a difference.
I would actually like to know what it was about this deviation that angered or annoyed you so much to actually contact :devRaakuu:, a complete stranger, in the first place?
Take your own advice, dear.

Cloudkitty In reply to Ms-CoffeePixie [2012-12-02 19:45:13 +0000 UTC]

That is very true, you comment was not rude.
And..... Ok, you do have me there.
The reason I contacted her was because initially one person did reply to my comment and I quote "And after the initial wave of people who got the joke, comes the wave of people to take it serriously and comment on the mistakes...
Nicely done, guyยดs, I facepalm in your honor." (Chrinik)
This greatly annoyed me and embarrassed me which is why I contacted Raakuu and apologized.
I may be a jerk but when someone proves me wrong i do try to admit it and say an apology.
This is much the same reason i jumped on your back because I thought I had already apologized for this stupid action on mine long ago, and having you message just annoyed and further embarrassed me more, because I had to remember that time that i was stupid. Yet still, I do admit my antagonism toward you was a little unfounded considering you were polite in your original post, so for my conduct i do now apologize to you. I should not have treated you as such.

You forgot hair!! "Wolfes" have hair growing from the top of there head that automatically flop's forward XD

But in all seriousness, if a person simply enjoys drawing a certain way I dont see the harm in it.
Its the deviants who freak out at the drop of a hat when you try and give a critique and say stupid things like "And If You Were Going To Complain About Something, It's Not Perfect, But It's 200% Better Than Anything Else And Anyhow It's My Style, Do Not Steal Or You Go To Jail!" that is when I see an issue. If your anatomy is bad, its bad, and theres no hiding it. Screaming about your style is just silly and causes troll mode to activate lol XD
