Description If you like my photography, please considering purchasing a print Photography is how I make my living and there is no greater honor than having someone hang my art on their walls. Prints come in all shapes and sizes along with all paper finishes including canvas. If you decide to purchase any of my work, I would love to see it! Feel free to send me a snapshot of it hanging and I will feature it on my facebook page.

motion video for this image here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijL5we…


This is not a drawing, this is a a photo manipulation of the photos below, the creature is originally a husky that i took a picture of for a customer


The image doesnt have a meaning, no reason for the flames, fire, antlers, etc, i just create it because it looks beautiful to me and because i am hired to do so


The reason the hind legs look as one was because the husky was walking in motion whilst i took the image and it was in low light conditions so very low shutter speed, hence the left leg infront of the right, looking as one

The tail does look out of place because of my skill level, hopefully ill get it right on my next piece

Wow. This is amazing. I love the details. It all looks realistic. I mean you said it took you 8 hours?! I wish I had that kind of patients. Really really good job on this. I even noticed some embers floating around and a small fire starting at the back left paw.

I like the nice blend of colors, but some of them could be toned down a bit.  Great concept behind it.

It's a great image. Though the only complaint I have is that the background seems a little too flat. But that's just my opinion. Great job on this one though.

You asked for a critique on this piece but I am probably not the best person to ask. I went through a stage of digital colouring my "drawings" but somehow became impatient with the computer and returned to using watercolours and acrylic (maybe it is an age thing!). I can however appreciate the time and skill this has taken and I really like the colouring you have given the trees (backgrounds is something I need to work on) which gives the picture a painted feel. The colours caused by the tails is also very effective. I have a feeling that maybe the shading of the husky makes it appear not to completely belong in the picture (or it could be that the flames on the tails are all the same colour/intensity despite some being further away!). 


The advantage of digital is that you can try out various solutions and ask people which they think is best?

Maremarginis In reply to ??? [2014-02-24 13:30:02 +0000 UTC]

This is magical! I especially like the use of colors. Some have said about the tails, but I think the lack of detail is a part of the illusion of movement - like when you sometimes take a photo and moving causes the picture to blur. This piece is really energetic and somehow eerie at the same time. It must be the huskys look and the shadowy forest.. But if you ask me - which you probably shouldn't - I maybe would have found a nighttime more fitting for this animal spirit to roam. On the other hand, it might have made this darker than it's supposed to.

Amazing, complex work. Nice composition and different textures, great work with the fading of the dog/wolf and all the magical elements floating, flying around. They are put together very well. The light in the forest is fantastic, how You changed it is very good The way You dealed with fire is mastrpiece!

Great ser image is original. I, personally, really like it. When it comes to the overall performance, it is great. one word, it would not have this job. more work is accounted for by watching this work, because Great ser attracts the eye, especially the wolf in antlers. birds, shiny, and beautiful. more needless. excellent work. beautiful.

feathergoblinfly [2014-02-24 11:01:40 +0000 UTC]

This is a really great piece,  very imaginative and creative, my suggestion for improvement would be to darken the back ground a bit and add a bit more contrast, sometimes when we imagine our Artwork before we begin working, we have an idea of the colours and the time, for example late afternoons in the winters or the time of dusk and dawn are when the natural world looks most beautiful which you have clearly captured here but at the same time perhaps twillight would be a better background for your image, that would cause your image to pop out more as RomanPhotos  has suggested it would add the WOW! factor , and maybe a little more attention to the wolf's anatomy, but over all very very well done , great attention to detail

katoidthwaitesalina [2014-02-24 10:33:38 +0000 UTC]

Brilliant manipulation! There's a lot going on, but I love all the bright colours. The eye is definitely drawn to the husky, which is all very sharp and crisp - easily stands out above everything else. I think one word to describe the woods behind is 'enchanting', it all looks magical because of the colours used, there could be a little more shadow to really make the husky pop. Other than that it's beautiful, very nicely done!

Dwarf4r In reply to ??? [2014-02-24 08:22:56 +0000 UTC]

What can I say It is a great piece of art, I certainly can see the 8 hours of work on it.

Just one minor issue ,no not about the hind legs I know where they are.

It is about the little tree in the middle ,it is missing this red glare from the fires.

But all in all it still stays a wonderful piece of work.
