Description
"I'm seein' my father in meI guess that's how it's meant to be
And I find I'm more and more like him each day
I notice I walk the way he walks
I notice I talk the way he talks
I'm startin' to see my father in me..."
-Seein' My Father In Me by Paul Overstreet
He'd never led a true pack. A wolf of few words but of strong actions, he was suited best as a Beta. A sword to be wielded by a deserving Master. As long as words and ideals were worth fighting for, his pack could count on his shrewd sense of tactics, unyielding spirit in combat, and his tireless effort. Still, even when the words of his once most respected Leader became weak and the ideals became flimsy politics, there was one thing left that all in the pack could count on from Logan Silentrun, and that was fairness.
The stubborn gray would not fight to the tune of a battle-cry he did not agree with. And so he left.
A loner by nature and by choice, he was nonetheless charismatic. A loose affiliation was made and nurtured with the outlying packs, and he became a trusted and valued adviser, ally, and friend. Eventually, a stranger came to his lands...a spirited female who had been exiled from her pack for reasons not unlike the conditions under which he'd left his own. Hunting partners became a pair, and a pair became a small family when only one of their pups survived the bleak winter. Such is the gamble of a pair of wolves who have no pack.
Still, by all of his friends in the valley, Logan was regarded with almost legendary respect. Though Wielder would have few memories of her life as a pup, she would always remember sun-soaked mornings and mountain paths, her father's breath swirling into the dewy mist around them, his spring green eyes regarding her with attention unwavering, and his keen ears twitching to the sound of her squeaky voice. He spoke little on those mornings and adopted instead the attitude of listener to the pup rather than speaker.
Years later when as an adult, tested by time and life's challenges, she would travel through the territory she'd lived in as a pup, old friends would remark about how life had proven that she was, indeed, Logan Silentrun's daughter.
More early character development for Wielder and her family. Here she is with her daddy, Logan.
Done with derwent studio pencils on sketchbook paper.

Awww. How adorable. Love the look of the fathers fur and their shadows on the ground. The little story conveys the tone of the picture. The father looks so loving and caring. Is his daughter/ son going to continue his legacy? Love your artwork style

Haha. I will most certainly try! Puppy anatomy has always been hard for me for some strange reason. >.>
She mostly stays in her regular (though bigger than average) wolfy form, shes kindve a mutant lol. then she has the same form with her dragon wings, which most of the time im loo lazy to draw because I fail at dragon wings. XD Then her legendary form where she IS basically a wolf-dragon. And ive also bastardized her and gave her a pony form too. Derp.

Wolf puppies are particularly hard to draw because the get out of that fat and fluffy mini hippo stage purdy quickly. Then, they are all legs and nose.
Oooooo, girl, dis means you need new refsheet for me to ogle over. You know that right?

lawl, mini hippo stage. XD
I do! God, Tracker has changed just a TEENY bit, but thats because I wanted to add a BIT of color to her, but its like a ravens wing, the different colors shining on the black. But thats a bitch to color and show properly. Still trying to get the hang of that with little doodlies. She does need a new ref, though. Hrms... *ponder!*

Hmmmm, try doing it in marker and adding the pearlescent kind of colors to her back and highlights with colored pencil, gel pens, or even carefully with paint.
