[Art] Sketches of Gray Wolf and River Otter as totem.

Two wonderful commission projects at the moment,
and I am always so happy to work with brilliant animal energies.
I have an old, old connection with wolf, and I love river otters
because I know so many people (including Glen)
love river otters (and otters in general).
Excitement! :D

You really have that "spark" in the eyes of the wolf. I see enough wolves (though typically the wild ones not so close) to know it intimately. :) And I love the spirals on the otter. Did you ever get around to trying out that Deverry series by Katherine Kerr? I only ask because otters play a role in the story eventually. (It's a small one, but seeing your art reminded me.)

The eyes took a bit of work, but I'm really glad with where they're at, that sort of direct wolf stare. Man, I hope I can see wolves one day.

I did! I didn't finish the first book because I wasn't in a space for epic fantasy, but I have it bookmarked to get back to, somewhere in the stack of books in my room. :D

	Hee, I can always tell the people who love otters. grin It's like, every time you go to the zoo and you have friends with you who love otters, you invariably hear the exclamation: 'OTTERS!!!!!!!e211223~!!!!!' :D It's fun.

	I relate to otters so much it's ridiculous. Probably because of how much I love playing in the water. Bwahaha! (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Otters joke around and are silly so it seems only natural that humans who love otters react that way to the animal. :3 (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	I love your work-in-progress posts. It's amazing to see your totems come to life. And that OTTER! I want to play with him! :) (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Woot! I always worry about the work in progress posts, so I'm glad that they're not completely redundant! (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Love these sketches so far, though I have a particular weakness for canines. That wolf is giving me such a serene, wise look, I feel. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)
