blueshinewolfhmm thats an interesting way to draw... i never seen it before... but it doesnt look bad at all...but there is one thing i really dont like...its the back of the white wolf...its to big.... next to the back the tail looks creepy short and small....

MacalaniaManGreat picture. Simple yet effective.
I really like the ferocity you can feel by looking at the wolves' snarling mouths!
Nice job. <3

xxXShadowWolfXxx on
xxXShadowWolfXxxOh, that's awsome. I like all the fire in the backround and the wolves look sweeeeet! But I would think the black one would be fire and the white would be ice. But you changed it around and that's pretty creative, as creative as this is over-all. =D

mechadragon13 on August 25, 2009, 4:09:28 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13yeah, i thought i'd switch it up, just for the heck of it ^^ thanks ^^

darkwolf333 on August 22, 2009, 8:55:37 AM

darkwolf333 on
darkwolf333hmm first off nice expressions and backgrounds . For a criq the colour looks a little flat so maybe more detail with the fur. the eyes could have had more shading. Maybe an outline around the wolves as well. But otherwise this is really awesome^^

mechadragon13 on August 25, 2009, 4:08:18 AM

mechadragon13thanks very much for the critique, sir/ma'am. ^^

Exell on August 4, 2009, 3:44:19 AM

Exell on
ExellOHMAHGAH! Mishy i'm so proud of you! *huggles* mkay lemmie see... I love how you did the shading on the wolves and adding in the flames and mist stuff. I think you could have done more with the back of the white wolf where theres this random semi-circle of whiteness, maybe have its so it has fur like its standing on end like dogs do when they're angry. but all in all i'm very proud of you. see ya when school starts up again. ^.-

mechadragon13 on August 6, 2009, 7:23:13 AM

mechadragon13thanks ^^ do you see anything i could work on?

Hybrid_Sunshine on July 7, 2009, 3:38:05 PM

Hybrid_Sunshine on
Hybrid_SunshineSweeeet. Critique? Maybe a little bit more detail on their fur (more bristly since they're snarling at each other and stuff). It looks great as it is, but that would be what I'd do on the white wolf's arching back.

Again, very sweet pic. *faves & votes good*

mechadragon13 on July 13, 2009, 10:35:40 AM

mechadragon13thats SOOOOOOO much!!! :D

Zukoinferno on June 1, 2009, 1:57:27 AM

Zukoinferno on
ZukoinfernoWell, the shading and coloring is different from your usual style, but I loved the detail you put into the snarls of the wolves. Also the flames and the wind add to the intensity of the picture, but the shading lessened the effect. Just work on the shading and It'll be an awesome picture.

mechadragon13 on June 1, 2009, 6:24:38 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13well, the wolves were vectored, so there was really nothing i could do about the shading.... but i agree with you, now that i look at it. thanks ^^

DistantDragonohhhh! i love it! excelent job! the background is especially impressive!

mechadragon13 on June 2, 2009, 6:29:09 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13why thank ya sir. anything you see that i can work on?

DistantDragon on June 3, 2009, 6:14:41 AM

DistantDragon on
DistantDragonum, i'm a girl...
but i do see a few things, the white wolf's back is arched quite a bit so its chest/stomach should follow that angle to some degree, or you could lessen the arch in the back just a bit. you did very well on the teeth i might add, but the white wolf's the bottom jaw looks slightly too long (i have trouble with drawing animals roaring/ snarling like this too, so dont feel bad, its a very tough angle) one other thing is that i think the black wolf's eye seems a little to far towards the front of its face.
Hope this helps! ^_^

mechadragon13 on June 3, 2009, 6:32:52 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13it DOES, thank you very much, MA'AM. sorry ^^;

BIGDANN on June 2, 2009, 2:25:50 PM

BIGDANN on
BIGDANNAll Right.You wanted a critic.Here we go.The shading is right on key,kind of like okami's cell shading,but ya need a little more details around the eyes and mouth.Also wat would make your pic stand out more is if u gave it a small but noticeable outline.Overall....Pretty Impressive.nice work.

SilentSoul on May 31, 2009, 1:49:44 PM

SilentSoul on
SilentSoulI'm not saying that you traced it, geez. I'll take your word for it. But I view us as Yin and Yang. If you're Yin, then I'm Yang.

Also, I'm rather fruit hyped, so be careful.

WhiteLighting681 on June 1, 2009, 8:10:56 AM

WhiteLighting681 on
WhiteLighting681Good God, Mish. What is this tomfoolery?
I had NO IDEA you were thiss talented. I always had a clue, but... Damn. That is NIIIICE! @_@
If you want a constructive critique, here's mine: The fact that there's very little shading on the wolves and that thet're partly lineless is an art style, and one that I really admire. But the background throws it off a bit -- a style like that needs a simpler background. But really, this is really just spectacular, Mish. I'm impressed, lol. <3

mechadragon13 on June 1, 2009, 8:54:59 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13i TRIED vectoring flames so they were in the same style as the wolves, but they came out crummy so i had to go for realistic flames...... but yeah thanks. it took me 9 WEEKS to figure out how to do this, and even longer to get it right. this took me two days ^^;

ChickiboI'm no expert on drawing wolves, so I can't really critique this, but I do love the way you shaded the picture, and the fire effects are excellent!

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticI don't see any fault in this other than the white wolf's face... the mouth, and such was good... but the lighting around the right eye (that pure black part) just... idn't exactly make sense to me... also, moar shading on the back of the white wolf, plzthx... my art teachers and older sibling have told me a THOUSAND times...

"nothing is ever pure white"

... well, maybe a few bits of he sun... :P
