This is Anaxander. He WAS a knight, but then he died. He can come back to Earth once a month when the moon is full, to see the people he knew before he died. Anyways, it's a sad story, and you'd all be crying if I weren't such a horrible story teller. Lol. Anyways, when he died, he became the form of a wolf (not sure why yet) but when he's in heaven he's in his human form.

Done in Sketch Pencils.  =]

This is very unique, I like the story.

"It was almost time, he thought as he shifted in the heavens. The stars surrounding him seemed to glisten in reflected anticipation.

He waited, his impatience only fathomable by someone who had been dealt so many blows in a short life.

Finally, the moon rose to it’s zenith and he threw himself down from the stars with the zeal only one desperate to see their loved ones can muster. He felt the change come over him as he traveled through the sky.

Every time he walked up that path once back on the earth, the path that led him back to them, he wondered whether this ability to remember was a gift or a curse. And as always he decided to keep stepping forward.

This time she was outside already. It was late, and at first he wondered why, but then his enhanced hearing heard that she was crying. If only he could cry in his new form, he would shed tears with her, he couldn’t bear to see her in such pain.

He held back, but wondered if he should approach her. He knew it wouldn’t matter if he did though, she would never recognize him.

Very good picture and I would love to hear the story! However I have one bit of helpful critisim.... the neck of the wolf is a little long... that is unless it moves into the body... but I’m not sure. If the body is there show a little more muscle under the fur to let people know. Just trying to help out ^^

:-) Danica Beverley Wells replies: "Thanks! I love critisism, so don’t feel bad at all. I agree though, this is one old pic, but the neck sort of does move into the body and all. He just has really, really long fur."

He looks so sad! I was caught up in the story too!13

:-) Danica Beverley Wells replies: "Thanks! And yes, he does look sad... 14 my dog was the model on a rainy day. (He hates water...)"

Really nice, perhaps it just should be a little more uneven fur in the front?

:-) Danica Beverley Wells replies: "I definetely agree. But this is an old pic, and when got to doing the fur in front (which was the last thing I did) I was really bored and my arm hurt so I just quickly did hair... I’m one baaaad sheep."
