Are there other mythology wolves you draw?

Not really! If there's an interesting creature with wolf parts in heraldry, I'll probably draw them eventually in Sonic-style as part of my lil 'for fun' side project. Generally speaking though, I'm pretty neutral on wolves? Love the animal/species complex itself, but I'm fairly meh on how media tends to mis-handle them... The whole 'lone wolf, alpha wolf' thing that seems to inspire edgy young men is a load of bull for instance, and I don't wanna feed into it by drawing wolves and people getting the wrong idea. That's probably silly of me but it's a weird uncomfortable feeling that's stuck with me since I was pretty young, honestly.

In terms of drawing canids, I actually find some of the more basal canids and caniforms(sp?) really interesting behaviourally and morphologically. Things like gray foxes, dholes, and jackals!

#the rare reply #text post #BTW if this is the person who asked if I could draw the Goetic wolf demon!! I'm tempted but..#I'd probably ACTUALLY wanna make a point of drawing a whole bunch of them in that art style and make it a set and well #if I'm gonna be spending all that time on it I really feel I ought to be being paid #the Ars Goetia is more like a poke'dex so it's not the same as learning about diff countries heraldry from people!#I don't really get anything out of it #if that makes any sense at all #in this house we love and support Pruflas and Morax anyway I can't be going around ignoring them for Marchosias
