Description [EDIT/EDIT] wrote a beautiful poem to compliment this! [/EDIT]

[EDIT] OMG a DD! I'm so excited! I never thought I'd get one, so this is a pleasant surprise! Thank you to everyone who has commented and faved! Thanks for the suggestion Lazywolf and thank you for the feature Pixel-Spotlight!

[EDIT] KAY I went in and fixed what the lovely Dragoness pointed out in her fantastic critique and what you guys saw was the problem, so let me know if it still needs more.

Here's what it looked like before I fixed what Dragoness critiqued [link]

For the werewolf Calendar Contest, since there isn't a limit to the number you can submit.

Hun, if that was your paint over linked at the bottom, you've actually blanded out any highlights from the wolf itself. You've merged him into the background and taken away any and all highlights from the surrounding landscape to boot.

Sometimes its helpful to view images as thumbnails more than anything. Take a look at the two reduced in size and side by side: [link]
Original on the left and provided paint over on the right.
The original is much more appealing, striking and overall attractive to the eye.

I usually agree with you regarding your image critiques but unfortunatly, it seems to be a step in the wrong direct this time.

If that paintover provided is not yours or if the original has been altered already, please ignore this comment.

The paintover was done before the update and the picture looked very different before I did. As you can see the critique was written before the picture was made a DD. Perhaps you should ask *Blackpassion777 for the original version which I actually critiqued . I should've added it myself but I forgot.

Trust me, it's improved loads.

Well like I said, I thought I might be missing the very-very original picture.

Oh yes that makes more sense. Like I said I knew I might have missed the original image and if that was the case then my comment was/should be taken as moot ; 3

I know, I just hate to be misunderstood xD. The artist now has the original version in the description so it's kinda good that you mentioned it anyway :3. To clear out further confusion.

CaraidArt In reply to Rasa88 [2010-07-28 21:06:27 +0000 UTC]

I suppose that's why a couple of people disagreed with the critique . I really spent a lot of time on it and put a lot of thought into it. In the paintover I did, you can still somewhat see how the mountains are very blurry which the artist changed excellently in the updated version. I'll ask her for the previous version .

Thank you so much for your thoughtful critique! Painting at four in the morning is never good for an artists judgment lol so thank you for all your extremely helpful advice, this is EXACTLY what I wanted to know C: Now I can make this so much better than it was, so thank you again!

CaraidArt In reply to Shapooda [2010-07-28 21:07:17 +0000 UTC]

By any chance, do you still have the original version I critiqued? Since I forgot to add it to the actual critique and it seems some people are confused with what I'm talking about (not agreeing with the critique as a result).

I know the pain of painting when you're really not awake enough to do so XD. You wake up the next day thinking you drew something amazing and then notice all kinds of mistakes.

I've seen the update and I must say it's improved a lot! Much better than my paintover as was to be expected, I'm very glad to have been helpful . You're welcome <3!

Your paintover was helpful and I took your advice on a light source I think its helped a lot! Thank you so much again, i honestly can't thank you enough!

OnyxWolf84 [2012-06-18 05:50:28 +0000 UTC]

Amazing detail! The first thing it made me think of was playing Skyrim. Too bad they don't make werewolves this good. To be honest, they don't look very wolfish in the face as it is. If they looked more like this one, then I would find a way to say a werewolf permanently. ^_^

Yeah, I was a little pissed that were odd looking, but hey, at least they were fuzzy. I wasn't a fan of Harry Potter werewolves. I'm honored to be compared to Skyrim lol
