Description
We humans have always been looking to the stars; be it for guidance, for relaxation, or out of curiosity, we always gaze with a sense of wonder. I like to think that werewolves might have the same urge to explore the constellations. They might build their mythos from the sky's formations, and study it with heartfelt awe. I wanted this piece to convey the clarity of a night sky untouched by light pollution, with the cool heavenly colors only the cosmos can offer. I hope I touched on that sense of connectedness I get when I see the night sky.Recommended listening - youtu.be/hrw7Wp2q8nY

My piece for the 2016 werewolf calendar! I am so excited to be back for this coming year, with a couple of wintry werewolves in awe of the night sky. This piece was such an intense pleasure to work on.
Pre-orders for the 2016 Werewolf Calendar open on September 1st! - werewolfcalendar.com/

You have great vision and imagination to draw a sky like that! After all, it must be nearly impossible to see such thing in present days.

It's sad to think that we could normally have beautiful views like this, but pollution is clouding the stars.

Getting to see a sky without light pollution is a spectacular thing. When you can really see into the galaxy or see the color shift of a pulsar it's pure magic. You've caught that here very well such a wonderful picture.
