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

I'm in love with this artwork, wonderful, wonderful job


I don't think you'll see this comment and / or have time to read it but I've written a story ( silver786.deviantart.com/art/W… ) that echoes very well with this scene, so I enjoy it even more ^^


So yeah, you didn't do it for me obviously but thank you anyway

You did a fantastic job with the foreground versus background. The subtle glint on the sword is a nice touch, too.

This is SO gorgeous! *O* I love how you did the wolves, and the "blurry" guy, that effect looks great on the drawing x3 And the snow is so well done, as well as the trees! x3

Lol wolf pack and a dude defending himself against them?  Must be the Grey.
Don't let them get to ya, man; some people can find similarities in anything they see.

Anyways, I really like how this turned out from that sketch you showed me :u  Lovin the pointy trees and overall composition here.  Very nice job framing the character but putting focus on the white wolf.  I like the different positions and expressions on the wolves, too, and the person is really rather nicely-done as well.  The folds on the clothing turned out nice, and those rocks covered in snow have really good texture.  Good work, m'dear :>

This is a very interesting and epic looking pic. It has this cinematic feel where the adventurer is on his guard and wolves surrounding the Queen are on guard. The Ice Queen herself seems to be in full control of the situation and has this motion of approach that seems calm. Their intent is almost made clear that they are simply territorial, and the adventurer is trespassing. 


Very cool image. ^^

incredible art here. Very nicely shown how ferocious the wolves are. Also, the way you drew the snow and how you didn't add it too much is actually a brilliant way to show a blizzard coming up (that's what I think). I don't know what "The Grey" is so I won't bother with that '_' Anyway, nice art!

"The Grey" isn't the only thing with this instance in it T_T come on people. like this was something that human hunters ran into quite often back in the day, and not too long ago. like seriously in europe drawn sleighs were always at risk traveling through the woods because of wolves. and in places like Alaska this was a huge problem up until recently..

i for one think this picture demonstrates the primal conflict between man and beast. man always trying to be a step up but then realizing where they lie in the foodchain when they run into a true predator. well done :3

If only this were a still from an animation lol I would totally be interested in watching. Very nice. 

I have literally just finished a sketch of a wolf about to attack prey in very similar pose to your white alpha so this instantly caught my eye. Looks like its a wolfy saturday!

"Oh my God, a guy up against wolves in the wilderness, and there's snow...you ripped off The Grey!"


Are people seriously so stupid and lacking imagination that a movie like that is really the only comparison they can draw from seeing a scenario like this? Wow. That's...depressing.


This is a pretty awesome piece. I wouldn't have even thought of The Grey had I not seen the description. And even then, I don't see why people compare the two. Literally the only things similar are the wolves, the one man against them, and the snow. Even the way the man is dressed is wildly different. He looks like a kind of character out of a fantasy novel or something.
