Description
Another picture that I'm leaving open for interpretation. I love making these types of drawings, because it's a lot of fun to read all of your personal meanings ^_^ Feel free to leave a comment!Judging from the looks of those two behind the girl, I'd say they had a pretty ruff day LOL (sorry I just had to xDD)

My view of this art is that someone she loved betrayed her, or she believes they did. That the picture she is looking at is the person she loves, and the second one is of the person with someone else. I believe she is obsessed with the person she loves, like a yandere. She looks and seems kind on the outside, but she can be wild and cruel. Both of the wolves heads seem to be pointing more at the picture of two people, as they're growling and snaring, showing her anger for the unwanted person. But she is currently caught up looking at the one she loves. Red eyes are normally associated with anger, powerful, or evil people, but it is also often used for a yandere. The blue eyes of the wolves have could represent her soul or spirit animal, which tend to be light blue to white. I personally have always viewed wolves as beautiful and amazing creatures, but I also see them as strong and powerful. I can see why a yandere spirit animal could be a wolf, beautiful but dangerous.
That's just my view on the picture, and it seems a lot different from the rest but oh well.

One of my first thoughts were that those pictures are her friends, and maybe something more, and that the hounds are domineering parents.

(Note my interpretation is influence by others, so sorry if they sound similar)
When I look at this picture, I actually see something really beautiful (mostly because of the art itself) I see a girl who is simply swarmed with popularity and looks, she only cares about being better than everyone and will sacrifice anything to have that happen. So much so she would even break up with her ex-lover, who is with her in the darker picture of the locket. Every time she opens the locket, she completely ignores the picture of her and her ex-lover, and looks directly at the mirror so she could how 'perfect' she is. That could explain why her eyes are an orange-red, since those colors are often associated with evil, danger, or anger.
As for what the wolves are, I actually see them as guardian angels. Their blue eyes could signify their power and how they are always helping people's decisions or seeing how their life is. But these wolves aren't just her guardian angels, oh no no no. The one at the top is the guardian angel of her ex-lover, furious that she left him just because of popularity. It wishes to avenge the person it is guarding, and may even want to cause (mental) bloodshed and pain. As for the second wolf near the bottom, I believe that may be her guardian angel and it isn't that happy either. It could be upset about her poor decisions in life and angry at her selfish ways, but still has to try and fix them.
I love this art, it is so incredible and it just, oh it just makes my mind go crazy with inspiration! You are an incredible artist and person!

I love your art, and I especially enjoy the pieces open for interpretation.
What I saw first was that she was looking at a picture of herself, and the other picture is a picture of her and her ex-lover or some sorts. She is currently being consumed by the popularity contest that is so prevalent in her life, and the wolves are either two people who have been especially egging her on to become what she is, are two emotions now growing; Exaggerated self-worth, and greed. OR the wolves are her and her ex-lover from the past, disgusted and crushed that she's abandoning true love (She broke up with Ex-lover because they weren't popular and she wanted someone higher up to boost her self-esteem and popularity levels) and instead, shooting for things that can very easily ruin her.
I don't know, it also reminds me of this boy who I hate but love, and want to kill but kiss. It's this really complicated relationship. He broke up with me because I wasn't pretty, and now I want to rip his guts out, but then immediately make it better and snuggle. I feel like a super-stalker >///<

Clearly, they're manly-man business wolves who are outwardly all about being busy and important and would never ever admit to being interested in girly drama like who she's gushing over now. So they stealthily watch her from behind so that nobody will know their horrible secret. Everybody has something they won't admit they're interested in, and in that regard the wolves represent the viewer.

I recently found your work and love these pieces that are open for interpretation.
Here are two interpretations that I saw when I observed this piece:
The two wolves are old friends/lovers of the girl and care for her, to the point of being possessive. However, she has left both of them, at separate times, and now has become enchanted by a new guy. Both of her old lovers suspect that this new person will not treat their loved one like they still want to, and may be even be a danger to her. They are struggling to understand why she cannot see this, and how she is blinded by her attraction to this man. The two who care for her can only feel betrayed.
The locket that they girl holds contains two images. The one that lies discarded and in the shadows is a picture of her two brothers, one older than the other, shoulder to shoulder, smiling out at her. However, she no longer looks at this image of her family that cares for her and instead looks into the other half of the locket, which is a mirror. In it, she is impressed and satisfied with how she appears. Her brothers, looming behind her, watch helplessly as she becomes self absorbed. Her younger brother, the one at the top right, is angry at her for becoming this way, losing her kindness and generosity. Her older brother is angry as well, but also feels sadness as he doesn’t believe he can help his little sister. The color of the brothers’ blue eyes, juxtaposed with their sister’s orange eyes, further express the boundaries she’s created between herself and her family and how she views herself above them.
This was a fun piece to write about.

Waaa I like your interpretations; they're like short stores *_* thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy my work and that it was able to inspire you. Inspiration is one of the greatest feelings you can share with another

This is a phenomenal piece of work.
In the first instance I interpreted this as somebody falling in love with a person even though she is in a relationship with somebody else. The lonesome figure on the photograph that she is fixated on would be the "lucky" guy who is about to steal her heart. However, I am giving up on this interpretation on account of her glowing red eyes and that ominous smile on her face.
So, what I think could be happening here, is that the lonesome figure on the photograph is a former lover that she has not forgotten. It might look as though she loves and hates him at the same time. Perhaps she is plotting to exert some sort of revenge on him, and the figures in the background could be her angel/devil personae, both in agreement that blood must be shed (at least in the spiritual sense!)
Or it may be that the person in the picture she is so fixated on is none other than herself - meaning that she loves herself more than anybody else in the world. In this case, the figures in the background could represent former lovers who have been hurt by her ways.
And the moral of the story is: there's a reason I am not a psychotherapist.

I like the idea of the wolves not being separate entities, but rather a part of her *_* Ohh yeah! That could also be her in the picture too.
I love how there are so many different possibilities for interpretation. If only I could write... I could do a synopsis for all of them. That would be fun! x3;

LOVE the artwork! ... if I had to guess made it can be taken as a difference in the relationship. Like how "Some" people value other people as things like prey or as objects where the other views it as a beautiful relationship, but is taken for granted.
Hope I can make art viewed like this soon it's awesome!

I love art with these concepts and ideas so much!!!

Mmm what I first thought was like the wolves are her conscience, she's blindly enchanted for the person in the photo on her hands, but someplace in her mind, an intuition is angry and trying to tell her to stay away from whoever it is!
But like just now that I noticed the wolves clothes, I took another interpretation: maybe they are the same two people on the picture she's looking.... People she trust and love but that, in reality, are like wolves ready to attack behind her back...
Lol I'm not good on interpretations but this is an amazing art piece! XD Thnks for sharing!

Okay, the way I see it, the piece is sorta like a reference to the song Same Girl by R. Kelly and Usher. Basically, the girl's been two-timing and the two dudes finally caught on. Instead of them being pissed at each other, they take out -or rather, want to take out - their anger on the girl instead. Now their anger, due to their betrayal, is emphasized by their transformation into werewolves... I mean, just look at them O.O And the fact that they wouldn't turn on each other shows a sense of brotherliness, which is also emphasized in the form of wolves - since, you know, wolves are all about family and stuff.

To me, its like the girl has been betrayed by whoever is in the locket and the wolves are like her demons ready for revenge.

I just found it but already I absolutely love your work and how you leave it open for interpretation. they just seem like they have so much meaning and you're just sitting back like *sips drink* "you guys just go crazy...."

I really like the style and the meaning that it gives off!
For me I think that the two werewolves are the girls parents, in the picture are her parents in their human forms and they feel betrayed because the girl seems more drawn towards their human forms rather than their true beastly side leaving them angry and feeling unaccepted by her .

That's an excellent interp. I'm usually thinking outside the box, but that is just so awesome for any mere mortal to think of on their own.

Such pretty wolfies. *_* I'mma interpret this as the girl being blindly in love and unaware of the sinister nature of her object of affection that is lurking just out of sight and endangering her.

Ohh so the werewolves are a fierce representation of the person in the locket? She better watch out O_O

I feel like out of the three of them, the girl is most dangerous. She doesn't seem terrified at all, despite the two looming wolves behind her, instead gazing at her reflection with a rather self-satisfied smirk. The two wolves, if taken metaphorically, seem to be two men – usually wearing neat suits and ties – bursting out of their regular confinements or facades because of their anger at her deception or "betrayal." Yet she is unaffected by it, because she couldn't care less how angry they are or how they feel. The one who holds the most power in a relationship, after all, is the one who cares less.
Then, a more literal perspective is that she's some sort of werewolf gene carrier, she bit them, and now they're doomed to live as werewolves as their past corporate lives have been ruined by their new monstrous body shape.
Seriously, this is awesome. It leaves so much open to interpretation.

Oh man, that would be the most brutal kind of friendzone! Those guys can get as mad as they want, but she doesn't even acknowledge them xDD I also like the idea of her being a carrier, and all of her boyfriends are now cursed forever O_O
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, yeah, brutal. In either situation, I suppose, whether doomed to werewolfhood for life or in the realm of a dispassionate relationship. I'm glad you found my theories interesting – but now I'm still left wondering what you were thinking of when you drew it. XD

It was done for a speed painting group that has daily topics. The topic for this was "scorned admirers" and this is the image that popped into my head. The werewolves were once more refined businessmen, until they are scorned by the girl and turn into raging madmen. I didn't put too much thought into their relations, other than she loves the guy in the locket and the wolves are mad, haha ^_^

Huh, that's pretty cool. Strangely enough, I didn't really think much about the guy in the locket. I don't know whether he's the lucky one or is just the next victim, haha.
