      <title>Dawn's Early Light by Jakkal</title>
      <description>Many of you will probably recognize the setup of this one, taken from a photograph from Monty Sloan (of Wolf Park).  

This was a quick and painful painting I did for my husband's birthday, which was somehow completed in a week.  He's the black wolf, I'm the brown one :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://jakkal.artspots.com/image/2420/dawns-early-light"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.artspots.com/files/image/file/2420/thumb_210/DawnsEarlyLight.jpg" alt="Thumbnail" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medium: Photoshop&lt;br /&gt;Tags: wolves wolf&lt;br /&gt;</description>

      <title>The Ragged Meadow by Blotch</title>
      <description>Who wakes in the wilderness when night is done
Fancying himself lord of all the land
May see what was not there at the set of the sun
And tremblingly will come to understand
The peril that has passed him in the dark--
Tracks...in the sand.

The coverart for the Wild Cat Card Deck, which is slated for release at FC '08. The deck features a bunch of artists as well as wild cats from around the world. You should check it out. &gt;;]
http://community.livejournal.com/wildcatcards/

Couldn't for the life of me get this to scan well. My scanner hates greens with such a deep, loathing passion, I'm starting to suspect a leprechaun stole it's wallet.

      <title>Bobcat by DesertCoyote</title>
      <description>Inspired by several things, including the fine art impressionist painter Renoir and some videos I watched of bobcats recently. I also was trying to, for lack of better words, "sculpt" my subject with a pencil on paper. Drawn with a 2B graphite pencil. Inspiration hit me in the wee hours of yesterday morning and I drew this that night- also into the wee hours. But- gotta love it when artistic inspiration hits!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://desertcoyote.artspots.com/image/2939/bobcat"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.artspots.com/files/image/file/2939/thumb_210/Bobcat.jpg" alt="Thumbnail" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medium: 2B drawing pencil&lt;br /&gt;Tags: cat bobcat drawing&lt;br /&gt;</description>

      <title>Felis Lunaris by Wolf Nymph</title>
      <description>Another piece for the AFF art show! Did this one in acrylics with some coloured pencil touchups. I'm really starting to like what I can do with acrylics, I fear I'm getting rusty at watercolours. ^^ This piece also serves a double purpose as an art show piece, and as a (late) school assignment. The only stipulation what that it had to be a relatively realistically rendered piece in acrylic, subject matter and everything else was up to me.

      <media:description>Another piece for the AFF art show! Did this one in acrylics with some coloured pencil touchups. I'm really starting to like what I can do with acrylics, I fear I'm getting rusty at watercolours. ^^ This piece also serves a double purpose as an art show piece, and as a (late) school assignment. The only stipulation what that it had to be a relatively realistically rendered piece in acrylic, subject matter and everything else was up to me.

      <title>Window to Winter by Wolf Nymph</title>
      <description>Here is this year's christmas card design for my family, featuring Wolfy! (of course) I had a general idea of what I wanted to do, but my mom basically told me what she wanted to see specifically in this piece. I tried to work this from an illustrator's standpoint, going through thumbnails and colour studies and whatnot... I think it turned out well overall. I did struggle with making it look like he was looking out a window without showing the window frame itself, but I don't think I could have "zoomed in" as much as my mom wanted if I showed the window frame. 

I put more effort into this christmas card design because I wanted to show off my art skills to my family.

ALSO (the reason I put a lot of effort into this)....

I'm going to donate the framed original to Eskie rescuers United ( http://www.eskierescuers.org/ ) if they will take it. If not, I'm going to try and sell it myself and donate the proceeds to them directly.
