Pack rules

EDIT - I decided to try something out and sat for a moment on this piece again to tune this up. In my scraps is original version, before I did the touch-ups.



I'd like to thank my audience who watched me livestreaming this piece. Viewers, thank you, it was great chatting with you, especially the famous =Isvoc!

Now about the picture. What I wanted to show here are pack rules. An adolescent pup wanted to challenge the alpha, now he will learn his place, pack around them, watching. In this pack are wild werewolves, due this no accesories, earrings, necklages, weapons or anything, just simple, like the nature made them.
I also made myself a big challenge with this piece. I wanted to not only render the fur of the werewolves right, but also do the background as good as them and play with the contrast, shadows and highlights. As for the Alpha werewolf, I didn't mean him to be a bad werewolf, I just wanted a nice dramatic contrast - him dark while the sun shining from behind, nice dark figure. Everything was painted with my imagination, I enjoyed painting this very much and I have to admit, I'm quite pleased with the result.

I have no idea what else to say... Ah, yeah. Thank you guyss for all your feedback, I really appreciate everything and I apologize you for my lack of activity. I'll try to change that, seriously. But now off to work, will come back later.

If you're interested, on my website is a small daily log with some work-in-progress shots.

A big version (2000px) is on my website.
