Commission/book trade with :iconmaplewolf:

A man wiser than I once said that love is the difficult realization that something other than oneself is real. It's a troubling emotion; in it are equal parts liberation and despair.

Shae (front) and her lover Aiden, both maned wolves, quietly share a fleeting moment of thoughtless bliss in the pampas grass. However, just like the grey and weeping sky, there are dark and raining shadows lying in wait in her heart, for she loves another wolf as well.

On a technical note, it was great to colour a "cartoon" piece again. It's been a while. Hmmm... grass tool abuse. Also, before anyone asks, no, I do not know what the sparkly things are. Shiny raindrops? Also, if anyone knows a fairly quick but reliable way to make leaves, please let me know. I wanted to put a few in the foreground, but they looked like crap.

This is a wonderful piece and great work on the rain effects.

And I believe this may call for a proper introduction, and well

Aw. Pretty picture, and heartbreaking story. I love the "cartoon" look to this, it's very crisp and nice.

Awwww! :aww: That is so sweet!

The background (particularly the rain) is stunning! It really sets the tone of the piece very well =D

Fantastic job! :+fav:

Glad that you like it! They were so much fun to draw, and I thank you for requesting something unique. I haven't drawn maned wolves in forever, and it was great to try to interpret them in a cartoon style but still keep them identifiable as maned wolves!
