Description


Final piece for design and composition class. 

I really could have done more with it, and there are so many anatomy aspects that are bothering me, but that’s my fault for leaving it for the last minute. 


Much thanks to XIIIHOUNDS  for giving me a hand with the dude <3

Ok I just came here to just stare this piece since I just love it <3 and then I saw the comments.... and  let me tell you how I fucking hate it when people go all "THIS REMINDS ME OF KAKASHI/NARUTO/TWILIGHT/FMA/WOLF'S RAIN/GNG/GDW PLA PLA PLA". 

>8C

It is not a compliment even if someone might think that "This artist surely feels good to be compared to this fantastic series/ movie / show / animation / character /book etc"

IT IS NOT A COMPLIMENT - in anyway.

it is not even critique. it is RUDE.
oh my god.

// Rage over.

I agree. I never found comparing people's work to existing things to be any sort of compliment. In fact, it's kind of a downer if you ask me. It's a big fat "it's been done before" in your face and actually makes you feel less creative (hell, even if it is something generic). Like, unless you're pointing out say, character/picture similarities that might land you problems later down the road, and they're suggesting a change, it's rude?
 
Alas, there's nothing you can do but ignore it.

I'm glad you like the piece though, it truly means a lot <3

I am sorry...it does remind me of The Grey. Saying so just because it was a good movie and the ending made me cry, this part and on. You should see it some time.  Anyway, this is a really great picture. Great job with the wolves, the guy's pose n everything, shine, blur, focus blah blah blah.

I don't believe there's anymore you could have done with this. I honestly think it looks great as it is; but as the artist you're more aware of the errors and flaws than I am. In any case I really love the sense of depth you created here. (fore•middle•background) It's something I need to work on myself. Great work with this piece my friend

Well done, when I first saw this is looked to be a scene out of an anime or Japanese movie. Kinda wish it was though because it paints the potential for a thrilling and insightful story.

Wow, this is really good! I like how the white wolf just looks at the man as if she is the only thing keeping her wolves from tearing him to pieces. Instead of killing him (yet?) she wants to give him some impression of sorts.
