one step closer my goal!
Every year I make a detailed wolf portrait. I wish to be able to paint a hyper realistic image in the future ^^ A big thanks to cleverdarkelve from DeviantArt who allowed me to use one of her pictures as reference

I have now 4 years with artistic experience. I look forward to make a new one next year to see the progress ^^

It's so detailed! *.* You're amazing! ^^
KeithKeiser Says:
Yes, very detailed. Hyper realistic is hard to master. I have about six years as a painter behind me. You need to blend your strokes enough to make the fur have texture. But you did a really good job. I'm impressed.

So...realistic....;u;

I love the tiny little snowflakes. They are virtually unnoticed, but as beautiful as if they were the center of the picture. Outstanding~

You are amazing, I do agree a bit with KeithKeiser but you are really good at what you're doing. And I looked at the other wolf pics aswell: you have come far.
