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

I like it. It's very eye catching. As soon as you see it, your attention goes towards the wolf. I like the use of colors. One thing that did stand out was that it looks like the wolf only has 3 legs.

This piece is blowing my mind.
It has a very nice balance of realism and fantasy. The fire wolf with antlers is a very creative idea. I like how the light colors of the fire contrast with the darkness of the forest and the lighting is just perfect.

This is pretty good. However, in my opinion, the tails on the antler-wolf looks stiff. You should let them flow more naturally and I think the lightning bolts on the antlers seem unnecessary. Also the birds could have better lighting and the hing leg of the antler-wolf looks like there's no foot. But other then that, it looks great!

Like the lightning between the wolf's antlers. Not sure if it was what you were going for but it's multiples tails remind me of a boat propeller. : P
I can't see it's hind legs well; one foot is hidden (under leaves) and the right hind leg I can't see at all, but I'm assuming it's hidden behind the left foreleg.
Love the use of color and real photographs. Has a sort of collage feel to it, but is still more cohesive and less random than those can be.
All in all, cool stuff. : )

Quite the extreme vision of the japanese legendary spirit (nine tails fox)...
43 layers it's something I wouldn't have the patience to compose hehehe so I admire that!
As for the piece itself, I think the surroundings to the wolf are a bit off when comes to lighting, considering things such as natural forest's darkness, and the six tales' flames, but I guess it's due to the fact that is quite difficult to mix the light that comes of the flames (dominating what's at the back of the animal and the upper part of the center and left trees) with the light coming from the horns' lightnings (dominating the front, lower and the wolf's back).
Anyway, it's a piece with a lot of energy and causes great impact at first glance.

I definitely have to agree with the other commenters- the colour in this piece is amazing and beautifully done. The only critique I can give is that the contrast/brightness is a bit too strong on the fire itself and the parts of the wolf that the fire is closest to (i.e. the horns and the tails), and makes it look a bit out of place with the rest of the image.

Basement-Aviator In reply to ??? [2014-02-24 01:40:34 +0000 UTC]
The wolf is really well done, but the background is too bright. I'd recommend more space between the wolf's feet and bottom of the picture, also, to make it seem less obvious as a photoshop piece.
Giant resolution is very impressive.

I really love this . I think that all of your hard work really paid off !
I think the forest is lush and colorful. The shading with all the
different tones are great.
I love the wolf. The flames are a very creative and cool.
I wouldn't change anything.
I wouldn't want it to be perfect , nothing actually is,
Or it would be a photograph !
I think you've done a fabulous job on all of it.

talk about king of the forest,
i like it looks grate, and the fire makes it look grate. to be honest i wouldn't want to meat this dogy in the woods without a bone to give him (or maybe coal since he uses fire) and i see there a little lighting racking in between the antlers

APerfectDarkness In reply to ??? [2014-02-24 01:20:36 +0000 UTC]
Beautiful work! I might suggest softening where the more vivid colors touch the earthier colors, to make it look a bit more natural, because in some places it feels a little like some of the parts of the piece are not really part of it, but placed atop it.
But it looks amazing, and the main theme is a beautiful one! The wolf's face shows a lot of emotion, it strikes me as something which fears it's own power, almost as though the wolf was causing the world around it to catch fire inadvertently, and it wanted a way to stop it. Lovely job, keep up the good work!

I love the background. Its highly detailed and seems to go on forever. The detail is not all on the husky, you took care to pay attention to the background. I like that.
I love the little red lights in the background, they remind me of eyes. Like many things are watching the husky.
The birds are cool too. The light catches their wings and adds to them.
As for the husky itself, I love the antler's, and the tails. The effects on them are quite detailed. I can almost feel the heat. Great job.

Oceanshine [2014-02-24 00:58:51 +0000 UTC]
This blew me away.
The wolf's eyes are actually intelligent and round looking; the embers/fairylights (That's what I saw at first) don't distract from the picture. You made it look like a creature could actually exist, the detail to the fire and fur is remarkbale. I don't think anyone could have done a better job.
One thing though, I can't see the back paw, I'm not sure if this is on purpose, but other than that I thought this was amazing.

This is sick! The colors are so bright, the light source is consistent, and the overall feeling is really awesome. The only thing I would suggest is maybe adding a bird or a creature in the background a little bit? The balance seems to be a bit off.

PyroFlower20 [2014-02-24 00:31:52 +0000 UTC]
It's certainly a very interesting piece, I love the detail you were able to put into it, along with the color. It looks very lovely! I think the only thing that put me off about it are the colors of the two trees on the left - the purple doesn't really mix well to me - but that's just my preference on the colors, that doesn't mean it does not look really cool. The wolf's tails also look a little less realistic that the rest of the wolf, I think if you put a little more detail into the tails it would look a lot better. (Of course this is just my opinion and since I've never done anything in this area before only take what you would like about it)
Other than those two things I think the piece is lovely, the colors are vibrant (which is something I always like to see in artwork ) and it looks decently realistic. I love what you did with the wolf and birds. They look awesome! Keep up the nice work!!

Its great! The colors are amazing and the hair on the husky looks real, and soft. Although i think the hair for the tails looked hard, and straight before it reached the fire.
Thats all i really have to say, over all its amazing! (:

wlindsten [2014-02-24 00:30:58 +0000 UTC]
This is a beautiful piece of work and it certainly reflects all of the time and effort you put into it. I think that in terms of technique, you did a very good job. The color and color blending is very good. After reading the credits, I assume that you principally created the wolf from scratch. The leg placements are good. The rear right leg seems to be lifted perhaps as a result of being burned by an amber. I myself must tread lightly here because I lack an understanding of the symbolic meaning of the fantasy. Despite my lack of understand of the meaning, the art piece is wonderfully done.
