This was one of two Commissions for skythe-soulblade I completed last month.
Both commissions are of his Coywolf Ranger Character Caelum. Was a bit of a challenge designing a coywolf. Besides their size and fur patterns only subtle differences (differences which can already be found in wolf genetics) separate them from a wolf, people even go as far as just considering them another sub-species of wolf entirely. For those who don’t know, a coywolf is the offspring of a wolf and a coyote. In the end I just approached it as making artistic style choices based upon my knowlage of wolf anatomy and what the Commissioner seemed to have in mind.

Here is a little story excerpt written by skythe-soulblade to accompany this image.

“Fully knew what I was getting into when I took the job, that I volunteered my life in service to others, finding a way through this world and guiding them, and to protect them when danger fell upon those who needed my services. Whatever the cost may be, I would protect them with my life.”

As always, I again found it most pleasurable to work with another writer. If I could one day work for authors and writers day by day for a living I’d be a VERY happy fellow! Perhaps one day. ^_

Hope you all enjoy this piece, and another HUGE thank you to skythe-soulblade ! Especially for surprising me with two commissions on the spot. :)
