Elemental

This is one of the commissions I had in the holding pen that I promised I'd finish...
it's for of her wolf character looking all elemental and stormy. ^^
I'm not sure I got the lighting quite right, but in the end I just sort of went for what was pretty and/or fun. What's the point of art if you can't take artistic liberty, yeah?

I did get permission from ucumari on flickr to use this photo: [link] ... I started by tracing it, but then filled it in and really turned it into my own thing, in the end. :}
