This is a very beautiful piece, you should definitely be proud! Your line art is always very uniform, and I enjoy the bold lines you use to outline. It really makes your art "pop". I also enjoy the use of complimentary colors in this. I feel the purple/yellow combination is one of the least used complimentary color combos. The fur texture is also fantastic, I like how the fur direction varies and is more ruffled around the neck. You have executed the shading fantastically as well. I also enjoy how you have made the longer, beaded strand of hair just below the ear blend in seamlessly with the rest of the wolf's fur, I know for me personally I find a lot of times it can look out of place when people do that, but it looks perfect here. Honestly, the only thing that seems even mildly off, is that the antlers seem just a tad far back on the head. Most animals, they grow more in between the ears or towards the forehead, but seeing as this is a fantasy creature, they could very well just grow further back, if you so choose. I do think the placement of the antlers aides in the balance of the piece though. Much farther forward and the piece would seem a little heavy on the left side, since you have the large bangs over there. So really, as far as balance goes, having the antlers further back works quite well to center the piece.

Lovely art, keep it up! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h…" width="15" height="13" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="357" title="Heart"/>
