I love these! ❤️ Balto's father looks great, and so does his mother. I like how they both have gray coats.
Balto 2 and 3 are simply NOT Canon to me. XD According to Simon Wells, the creator of Wolf Quest NEVER saw the original film, which in my opinion is just... no. I was never a fan of the random inclusion of songs or the spirits, I was not much of a fan of the new characters, and Niju and his wolfie sidekicks felt more like discount Steele, Nikki, Kaltag, and Star.
Also, looking back now it makes NO SENSE that Aleu looks more like a wolf than Balto. Everyone said she looked more wolf than Balto, even Balto said so, and yet she was literally 3/4 dog (Siberian Husky), 1/4 wolf. If she was more wolf than he, she'd be more like Mia Tuk/White Fang, who had a pureblooded wolf for a father and a 1/2 wolf-hybrid (Kiche) for a mother. Mathematically speaking, she should have looked more like her siblings.
Plus, it is obvious that Balto got his brownish-gray coat from his wolf-father. If his wolf-parent was indeed the white wolf he saw, Balto would have been born with white fur. Also, Balto wouldn't have been born in the town of Nome if his mother was a wolf. He would have been born in the wild.
I like to imagine his father resembled one of these wolves from the film:

I've been wanting to make fanart of Balto as a pup with his father.
And I would base him off of one of those wolves.
Balto’s parents
info from dA (for those who don’t get the idea):
Prospective  Balto’s parents Melona and I don’t accept version of Balto 2 that the white wolf is his mother. It’s a spiritual embodiment of his wolf nature, inner cry. Each time you watch this scene, the whole body is covered with goose bumps. Very emotional moment. And the second part destroyed the whole idea and the atmosphere, as the most of the sequels. Well, I just leave it here: ►Simon Wells said that Balto’s mother was working sled dog and his father was the wolf; their story was in the style of Romeo and Juliet; ►The White wolf is not real (Simon Wells said that he is the male character, and said that he deliberately portrayed his mysterious and inexplicable, and he said again that wolfblood Balto got inherited from his father) . Wells described it as “the incarnation of the inner call of the Baltic, calls on him to take the wolf essence and realize that this is a strength, not a shame.” I decided to try, as they might look like. I tried not much knock them out of the original style, but not so lucky.

#balto#wolf#dog#wolfdog#fanart#art#Balto 2 is NOT Canon to me lol#Neither is Balto 3#The fact that the director of Wolf Quest NEVER SAW the first film just says a lot to me#I wouldn't be surprised if most of the people behind All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 and the series never saw the first ADGTH either#It would certainly explain A LOT of the weird writing decisions and inconsistencies and retcons they did#FFS Judith Barsi's death did not stop the Land Before Time sequels from including and recasting Ducky!#I know Anne-Marie's story was done but it would have not hurt or offended anyone if they at least had Charlie and/or Itchy mention her!#Charlie should have stuck around to help the new boy to make up for what he did to Anne-Marie#Instead of avoiding returning to Heaven because he was bored of it and wanted a piece of ass#They should have kept his character development from the last movie intact and given him a new arc#And they should included Flo the collie and developed her some more instead of replacing her with Sasha#What is the point of including another love-interest when you could just develop the original one?#Having Flo take care of David makes sense with her character anyway and maybe the reason she took care of orphans was because SHE was one?#Red also should have been a hellhound seriously missed opportunity#Killer also SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE COMIC-RELIEF INSTEAD OF CARFACE ffs#Why dumb-down the original villain of the first movie when you already have a comic-relief sidekick at your disposal??#And omg why not set it in the 1940s instead of awkwardly setting it 60+ YEARS AFTER THE FIRST FILM?? Dogs don't even live that long! 😆#UGH so many missed opportunities and wasted potential#Note to self: Make ADGTH2 fanart but with your versions of the characters and setting someday seriously XD#gazeopard rambles#universal studios
