Well hi there

I don't think I have spent this long detailing a picture before, man I did a lot of work.  So it roughly took about 13 - 19 hours total? only because it went through a lot of transformations.  This was going to originally be a full body, I sketched everything and even put down a base color, but this was after a stressing sketch process but I learned how to sketch better with my own technique.  So, this became a headshot because I wanted to detail the head first, so I as I started sketching a new head, I scrapped the body I had sketched, but the original head I had colored in looked terrible, like obviously, it was not what I wanted, so I opened my laptop and decided I did not like it, so I started anew.

Going from a NEW sketch following a reference with more effort and less laziness, I sketched out a realistic wolf, and went from there.  There was a lot of trial and error, but I learned a lot, and in the process, I finally created my Fursona.......or at least part of him, and I could not be more proud of a piece as of right now, this is better than most of my 3D models <3

Let me know what you think, if anyone sees this at all.
