This is a pair of bizarrely colored wolf-angels that are playing in the night sky on a full moon. I this one did expressly for my dear friend Cata. I got the inspiration a while ago, when she told me about a very unfortunate and tragic event. Her beautiful young dog was hit by a car and killed late one night. I had planned to do some sort of dog spirit thing for her, but never got around to it. So I finally took some time out to create something in honor of her gorgeous dog, Cio. I’m so sorry about what happened, Cata, and I only hope that this picture makes you feel better, whatever consolation a teenager’s art piece can give. I thought this is what Cio might look like in the heavens. Much love, and only hoping you can forgive the Photoshop coloring.

*sits in awe for ten minutes and struggles with mouth in search of right words*
ummmm...whoa...I,uh...think...youragreatfriendandIwantoknowubetter!
That all came out fast. I can't fight the perfectionist in me anymore; the blue dog looks just a bit too thin... ... ... I'll shut up cuz that was a rude thing to say about a beautifull like this. those wings are remarkable.*still in awe*

1 Jenna 'Kaikisuka' Linn Barton replies: "Thanks!!"

... ^_^' And when I say "Artistic" I don't mean that you lack technical skills by any means!! Quite the contrary, the anatomy of the wolves is fantastic, and the juxtaposition, masterful.

1 Jenna 'Kaikisuka' Linn Barton replies: "*refers you to above comment* Once more, thankies!"

I think it amazing the way you combined elements of night, which is something that wolves enjoy of course, and heaven. It makes perfect sense and it's absolutely lovely. And they look so happy!

Not to bash the constructive crits above, but I think they spend far to long thinking about lighting and whether this dog is too thin or not yatta yatta and don't pay attention to the fact that it is supposed to be artistic not realistic (how many angelic wolves have you met?). I believe you did a fabulous job with all the elements you used on this picture. From the clouds to the sky to the way you colored the fur, and most especially to the energy of the dogs themselves. As a whole this portrays a beautiful feeling of freedom and happiness. And not only does it portray a beautiful feeling, it's just plain beautiful. Kudos to you for a fabulous pic!

13 Jenna 'Kaikisuka' Linn Barton replies: "Wow. Don't know what to say to that, but...thank you. That was about the nicest comment I've heard for a while. I hope that I can keep creating art that people can like--this one was just a bit of creative splurge, but apparently it turned out ok. Thanks again."

Is this what you meant by 'beasts'? No, I cant draw wolves very well. But you are amazing! I love the blue wolf especially. Blue rocks. You are good at wings too!!!
Love it!
Kudos!!

In all honosty Jenna, you made my heart break. I love the drawing. It reminds me of my dog that was attacked by our neighbors Dingos. If it’s any consolation, I think you should take this seriously and get a job or something where you can show the world the art you can do.

:-) Jenna 'Kaikisuka' Linn Barton replies: "Well, thank you very much. Sorry about your dog--losing a pet is terrible. 8 I hope to get a job doing something artistic in the future. ^^ Til then I’m just a secretary at a physician’s office. I appreciate the comment very much, thank you."
