Description:
This piece represents the powerful song of the wolf an illustration out of my novel. The song of the wolf, the spirit of the wolf, once dies, has a job. It must help create the heavens in which houses their ancestors. It allows their song to reach to their ancestors to let them know all is ok, all is at peace below. There's strength in the song once its sung from the soul. Their journey has ended, but must see through those who still walk theirs down on earth. Again, a little sneek peek into my novel!
Artist Critique:
This is a piece that I was inspired to draw listening to some VNV Nation. I think I could've done a better job on some background, I might go back and redo it or add one in there, but im not too sure because im not that great at backgrounds. I have a sense that this piece needs something more, but im not sure what it is? A border? A background? I REALLY LOVE the wolf... I can't believe I did that the fur is my favorite and I really like the eye too. Should I make prints of this?
Sorry for the ugly watermark, I hate it, I hate having to put it on my art but its nesscary for those with sticky fingers! Please respect my art and do not take it..

Wow, absolutely beautiful. I was dying to see it when dA was being...well, itself.
The shading is gorgeous and it really gives depth to the fur and everything, the description, the image itself, captures the beauty of the wolf. Instant fav for sure ^^

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
