Description

_{*blows dust off account* It feels like forever since I've submitted something, though I think I just submitted that commission a couple weeks ago. My sense of time is always off, ff.

Anyways, about the picture~ This originally started as a vent probably a couple weeks ago. life was hectic at home and work sucked and I just felt out of control of my own life, so spawned the original idea for this. After time, things went back to being semi-normal and this turned into a practice/leisure piece, which means I would turn to it when I was frustrated with other art, bored, or just needed something different to work on, lol. And here it is~
I have to admit, I hate shading with a passion, but I'm rather fond of how this came out.<3 I love the look of cell shading and it seems I'm never able to, well, do it right, lol. More practice is needed~ xD And yes, I'm very much aware that her back is way too bent, lol.

To those who are still waiting for stuff from me, I hope you haven't forgotten. I do feel bad and it gives me anxiety to keep you waiting, but all I can say is I'm getting better. /points up at picture

Any critique on anything would be kind.<3 Especially on my shading.

Overall

Technique

Impact

Ehem , try to help me if my critique has invalid critic <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="19" height="19" alt="

" title="Sweating a little..."/> (btw sorry if you see any '' mistakes , somehow my key is getting stuck @___@; )

Vision: It''s a realy nice sight , it realy brings the dept of the background forth , the wolfs front legs seem to fade into the darkness and that is another point that is quite apealing , but it's a very easy use of background (has used it way too many times to cover up the background)

Originality: Yep it's nice , but i've seen this before atleast ''the concept''

technique: Mmh , it''s a nice wolf in general what i see of it , but the shading is what it comes on on such drawings (with such drawings i meant the ones that aren't realy centered towards the bg) And i see you've only made only a part of the back lighter , but i see you''ve got alot fur there and still alot is remained untouched without shading/lighting , But i see you've done your best at it :'D so keep it up~

Impact: i was totally like *u* when i saw something red in my inbox~ so it's a nice impact , but this goes more towards vision :/ so re-read vision :'D

I hope this will be enough for yah *u* <img class="avatar" src="a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/h/t…" alt="
