A Life's Gamble

Percy Jackson & Blackjack the pegasi belong to the excellent author Rick Riordan. This is fanart, and an experiment in painting without lines.

Viradechtus (colour concept)

Fan concept for the Konigenwolf Viradechtus, who is a character in A Companion to Wolves by Elizabeth Bear & Sarah Monette, an excellent book in the animal telepathy genre and one of the best wolf fiction books I have ever read. (I like very few fiction books about wolves - so many authors get them so wrong.)

I don't think I really like this, though I had good ideas (mixing brindle with typical wolf colouration and giving Viradechtus quite contrasting markings because of her pack status which is essentially alpha) but this doesn't really fit how I see her in my head. Aw well. I might try again in the future.
