I like this... the darkness sorrounded by everything else gives a good impressive design. It makes it stand out.

I noticed the comment @stewart alexander , so I deleted the one without thinking someone else had commented.

I like it, it reminds me of one of those sketch/etching things you find in hobby craft etc. You know the silver patterns? I don't think I'm leaving the greatest comment here but it does remind me of that. LOL

Great work here bud, really can't stop stirring at it. Mind you, I am a magpie!

I get the impression you spend a lot of time thinking about the universe Stewart.

This is epic!

Beautiful. I love the contrast between the blackness of night, the icy moon, the fiery background and the energy emanating from the wolf.

thanks Cheeky    cheers pal!  thanks Joe... I love wolves... so.. thought of this  :

Is this done on canvas? Kind of has that texture to it. I like how lighting works in this painting. 

boxed canvas.. with charcoal too for the wolf  

Wow!  I love wolves too......and the universe....this is beautiful.  

thanks spacemonkey
