I guess we could class this as a study. It's 8" x 10" and the reference is cooljinny on SXC. Going for the dramatic look. I will need to do some more to the fur but I want to keep it simple. I kind of like the 'no eyes' look which is unusual for me :lol:

I like the no eyes look too Patrick,maybe a little more work on the fur.But i would consider this a finished piece as it stands,looks really good.

Best from mike.

Very interesting work. I love the mood in this piece and the simplicity of it too. Very powerful and thought provoking...

This is just so well done Patrick, so much feeling with minimal detail. The way he is emerging from the shadows yet not completely visible is so very effective. Was there a ref pic for this?

Thanks guys. Mitch, there was a ref pic but I made it less detailed and more - how shall we say - brooding and intense.
