Description
So, my biro sketches have taken a step up since the last requests I did - mostly thanks, mortifyingly enough, to my digimon series.
~Enyalia , who is very lovely, has translated some Valentino lyrics and some Dino Merlin lyrics that I've been dying to know the translation of (croatian and bosnian online translation ranges from piss-poor to nonexistant) and seems to be game for more. 
So I gave her a sketch request, may be the first of several; I'm certainly grateful. 
She wanted a wolf, sitting, howling at the moon. A couple of photo refs used for markings and anatomy, pose generally done in Poser. (But since its wolf model is so spectacularly bad, it was mostly a perspective reference, because I wanted a bit of a spiffy perspective. Even so, I failed on background perspective, I'm sorry!
)I ended up pretty proud of the anatomy - you can tell when I've reffed, because it actually looks like the animal it's meant to be....
But I'm not an epic wolf draw-er, so be gentle. 
Anyhoo, a few hours, done on holiday in Ireland.
Thank you, ~Enyalia !

This is wonderfully beauitul.
I am so sorry for taking so long to comment on your art, I have been in the hospital, visiting my dad (still doing that actually), and so much else. And it is such a nice thing to get to look at your art again. Wow, this is amazing. I want to thank you for sharing it.

Oh, I was in the hospital. And later, I visited my dad. Those were two different events. Sorry that it was confusing! OOPS!
And you are welcome!

Oh, right! I get it, sorry. xDDD But - how come you were in hospital? D: Are you better, whatever it was?

Eh, I tried to commit suicide. I was lucky they let me back out. I'm kinda okay, just haven't been on my meds 'cause my insurance was dropped.
I PROMISE I AM GETTING TRADES DONE, haven't been getting much motivation due to the same fact as above.

Dear god, this is just a measurement of how much I suck. o.o I can't believe I haven't replied to this yet...seems uni ate me.

I think that's my problem as well. I mix of university and World of Warcraft has been keeping me from other...things.
:huggles: I do think that when the school semester starts it will be easier to get things done. I will be at school a LOT, but I will have a decent amount of space between classes. And what helps is that I am taking a digital art class! HORRAY!

This is an awesome sketch. Can it even be called just a sketch? It's really neat overall, and I especially love the paws and the mouth. Great work.

I guess it's a step up and sideways from my sketches really.
Er, I mean no, it's not really just a sketch. xDDDDD
Thank you very much!

That, is absolutely stunning.
What a magnificent sketch, I could only wish my sketches were that good!
The anatomy is wonderful, and damn, those are some good paws.
I couldn't draw paws that well to save my life. xD

Thank you very much!
I'm really glad you like the paws - one day a while ago I sat down and thought "right, I'm going to learn how to draw freaking paws", because I'd been stuck with the same awfully bad stylised ones for years without ever actually knowing how they really looked. So, one, I'm really glad you like them, and two, despite the fact that I'm sure you're not as bad as you say you are
