Beckett  06/20/05 @933

First!! YESSS!!! wow You know I love this!!! I think it is definately elite worthy!

Diane  06/20/05 @936

Thanks a lot Beckett but it's not elite worthy, it's just an excercise with a cute baby wolf

Mizia  06/20/05 @939

wow, amazing! it looks great, eye of this sweet wolf looks really realistic,butterfly, everything looks realistic! fantastic

darturbrain  06/20/05 @941

what the.... i mean... its....how??? you know what... you are a god like ei en and shyam......nevertheless.... its amazing! fantastic! i got a question... how can u draw it without smudging it with ur hand? and how did u do the white fur hairs? 5/5

Alterpha  06/20/05 @945

Very good drawing skills, this is my favorite piece that you've done so far.

Diane  06/20/05 @945

I've smudged the background to do a "focus effect" on the wolf.... The white fur hairs have been done with an eraser I'm not a god Thanks a lot Darturbrain, Mizia and Alterpha

BioWorkZ  06/21/05 @122

Just amazing. How do you find time to pump out so much work? I love it. +5/5 I can't find anything wrong with this drawing. Great job.

beatrizmatar  06/21/05 @154

Charming. Is a beautiful work sweetie. The puppy is adorable. You know I adore pets. all my points.

skulpturro  06/21/05 @169

I'm glad to see so much well-deserved support for your talent, this piece makes me want to draw wildlife again How about that? You're talented, not-ugly, AND inspirational! Nice choice of a darker 'color' for the butterfly, it keeps it the focus of both the wolf cub and your viewers, a lighter shade would have been lost.

ARTOONATOR  06/21/05 @356

shyamshriram  06/21/05 @402

Klimyntris  06/21/05 @656

Wow this picture rocks.. I love the playful intensity in the wolf's eyes

rychelander  06/21/05 @670

Again, I'm just amazed at your technical abilities. Fabulous work once again. I know you spent a lot of time on it, but would the lower paw be more effective more highly detailed, I see it's not in the picture due to depth of field? I'm just thinking out loud here. All my points again...

cupcake  06/21/05 @716

Excellent Diane Top Mark

Jane  06/21/05 @736

Absolute-naut  06/23/05 @337

wonderful draw, perfect details (for example, dog eye), realy great ! +9

snagt  06/23/05 @430

yep, really beautiful! it's great you can do this with pencil!

EmmaLB  06/23/05 @554

This is lovely! i like the way you didn't put loads of detail into the grass (what I would have stupidly done), because now the focus really is on this young cub. great!

MetalMonkey  06/23/05 @607

You say it's only an excercise well damn, I will never be able to draw at that level ever. What can I say, It tells a story so well and easly, the tittle "Childhood" sums the image up perfectly too. As a tumbnail it looked as if it was a photo. Unbelivable!

Stormchild  06/23/05 @957

Amazing! Your dynamic range is excellent. The wisps of white (lit-up) hair against the darker backgrounds are a really nice touch. Great job maintaining the detail in the fur, with very precise lines of alternating shade.

chrispis  06/24/05 @639

very good!!!

OXXID  06/24/05 @948

Someone just grab my jaw please!! This is amazingly done, Diane! I'm amazed at your talent and I can only say: go go girl! don't stop practising because you're indeed reaching the top Btw, concerning the freezing moon, you cannot even imagine how many shots I took before getting that one ahahah It's a matter of experimenting

Halcyonic  07/01/05 @222

Jeez, this it just tooooo good, looks like its gonna pop outta the monitor! the attention to detail and the realism is just fantastic. I think its time for u go elite already! +9/9

LLr0cks  07/01/05 @512

Amazing...

Fantasm  07/01/05 @512

Stunning. When I saw this thumbnail I thought it was a photograph. I can't deal with insects but I love the butterfly. The detail, highlighting and shading is amazing. The wolf is very beautiful and endearing. The only thing that occurs to me (other than to sit here repeating "wow!" is that the left paw should be more focused due to it's proximity to the viewer, but I have not seen the photo reference and besides, it's a minor point when viewing the whole image.

hoogo  07/01/05 @672

SO perfect.... wonderfull... and tank yoooou..... about the imageshack

tomato  07/01/05 @702

that is an incredible drawing. i have to admit i too thought it was a photo from the thumbnail. amazing.

just wonderful.. i wish i have a patience to draw fur this way :]

mindofka  07/16/05 @533

Nothing in traditional media looks as it has to while digital, and often a lot of digital pieces don't look so good while printed, without speaking about colours. It's really a very cute piece and your skills are exceptional, the pow is perfect, the eye has that shiny look as only they can have and you can feel the humidity of the nose

BurningPassion  07/20/05 @929

"Thanks a lot, but it's not elite worthy, it's just an excercise with a cute baby wolf " I can't believe you call this an 'excercise'. I think its beautiful.. especially the nose and eye, just perfect! 9.8!

BushidoCG  07/22/05 @317

I like very much, and what seems to me exelente was this aggregation of the butterfly 5/5 visit me

Diane  07/22/05 @903

thank you very much for your comments ppl BurningPassion : it was an exercise : it's a copy of a copyrighted photo, so I don't call it "artwork", but "excercise".... I need to practise again and again

ashtapot  07/29/05 @735

amazing!i love it.

aeyol  08/02/05 @670

I see you've got an excellent sense for shading contrasts and creating a focus. Brilliant pencilwork. And the motif is so cute! To me it looks more like a fox than a wolve, but it's beautiful, really.

Scatter  08/02/05 @696

Your art is so amazing, gah, You must have a large stock of patience!

one of the most beautiful dreamy pictures I´ve ever seen. it has so much emotion and even it seems to be simple in some way it has such a deep atmosphere you can get drown. 9/9

klyph  07/02/06 @585

You make me think - I've never spent more than 2 hours on a sketch. But 17 hours - wow, Diane! I can't say that's laziness,

Guidd  07/04/06 @501

very nice (super ^^)

lucuella  07/27/06 @274

That's true, scanners often affect contrast and saturation of the artworks, so it's very difficult to show then as they are really. Well, you are very skilled in this technique Diane, the depth of field can be appreciated very well, and the hair of the wolf looks very realistic! +7 (I can't add you more points at the time :_( )

MiyakoToudaiji  08/18/06 @555
