I love wolves.

Wolves deserve the wonders of the world.

I hope you're doing well today, stranger.

I absolutely adore and want one of these little guys. They may be useless today, but they're just so neat!

$1 power supplies have gotten a lot better. There is actual proper guards and separation between high voltage and low voltage rails. A cheap design, but elegant. Good work to the folks who design these.

Happy Fursuit Friday, Everyfloof!

I am so excited over how this fursuit has turned out so far. Klavius is now an official partial with head, arm sleeves, all four paws, and a very animated tail. I hope these pictures of him just having fun have made you smile. 🙃

This does not compute!

As an old-school website designer with self-taught HTML skills through Telnet and FTP clients, this makes my eye twitch.

When it's time to leave work on Fursuit Friday!

Emergency Commissions OPEN as of today.

If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.

I mostly draw animals, so I cannot do complex non-animal things (armor, humans, vehicles like tanks, trucks, etc). I mostly specialize in borzois/dogs/wolves, dromaeosaurs/dinosaurs and other animals like moles. I can also draw dragons too. I can try fantasy creatures, but please give me good reference material. As for what I can draw thematics wise, I can only do blood and minor violence.

For payment, it is up front. After it is sent, I will send a rough sketch or two, depending on what you would like. The detailed cinematics take longer than the '80s style cinematics. I haven't been drawing for a while, so please pardon if I am slower than normal. If you feel I am falling behind, please send me a message to remind me.

The old design of the White Wolf

Okay, let's talk about this beautiful character. The official novel described the White Wolf as a male, Simon Wells (the director of the original Balto) described the White Wolf as a male and as a symbolic character. Let's look at how this character looked in early versions.

This is how it looks in the script. Pretty simple design.

This design clearly was based on the script's version. Still looks masculine.

Here you also can see awesome storyboards by Harald Siepermann, and there already those epic moments we can see in the final film, but there also were interesting moments. How the White Wolf gently comforts Balto, how there's symbolic moment — in the beginning the White Wolf howls in the blizzard among tiny sunrises (or light of lantern) before interaction with despaired Balto, while in the end of this scene Balto embraces his wolf ancestory and howls in the same pose after the White Wolf disapperas in the wind, but among calm snowstorm and under the sun. Yep, more hints that the White Wolf wasn't real, but a metaphor of Balto's wolf half, his true self. And another design by Harald Siepermann. The White Wolf looks pretty old and severe for sure.

And probably exactly this design became the base for this one in storyboards.

So, yes, the White Wolf from the original Balto was always a male. And a metaphor.

P.s. By the way, you can notice that in both the movie, the script and in the novel Balto feels and shows fear and shame during his first meet with the White Wolf. So, this one fact immediately debunks the idea of the White Wolf being Balto's parent. Balto doesn't know this wolf. Not to mention, how the White Wolf is absolutely silent, and that Simon Wells himself joked in interview "If it was really his dad, why didn't the old man help him drag the antitoxin up the cliff?". The script also confirms the White Wolf being a male.

Happy Fursuit Friday!

Got enough of this carpet monster assembled to give a debut. This is my first attempt at crafting a fursuit and I'm really happy with how it's turning out so far. Had to share.
