And here it is, finished version of the previously uploaded WIP. I am amazed I didn't lose my patience with this, it's so different from everything else in my gallery. But I wanted to throw a bit of the other things I'm capable of doing up on dA. When I learn new techniques I can go pretty far, and that's why I'm always on the lookout for new tricks, but a lot of artists don't like to share what they know. ._.

I'll let you in on a little secret: I've always wished I was a painter, not a cartoon artist.


Anyway, this is Ragnor, a "shadow wolf" from my future webcomic. Ragnor is a vicious bastard, seriously. He, along with the other shadow wolves, work constantly to create chaos in the world and influence mortals to walk in the wrong directions. They are controlled by the Serpent who is the lord of all things dark and evil. Shadow wolves are also a main cause of mankind fearing the wolf, which was intentional. Also, in the comic, it is supposed that the shadow wolves are behind the "black dog" legends in the UK. They were also behind the wiping out of all wolves in that region of the world. They cannot normally be seen but will appear to anyone they wish to. The average shadow wolf is playful in the worst kind of way, taking delight in the pain of others. Shadow wolves have been in existence since before civilization, after the dark influence and burning whispers of the Serpent corrupted many wolves, turning them into malicious, depraved beings. All other wolves that were not corrupted went two ways: stayed with mankind (later became dogs) or distanced themselves from mankind, yet share a same outcome: they completely forgot their purpose and lost the power they were given. Only a wolf aware of their existence can detect the presence of a shadow wolf. Shadow wolves are most active in the darkness of night and operate in the shadows of the day. The Phoenix cannot traverse the darkness of night, but needs to combat the shadow wolf advances.... therefore Kazera comes into play.


Oi, I just spoiled some of the surprises! Oh well. Enjoy this piece.
