I do not know Wolf's Rain, except for the snippets I see in fan videos here and there. This is LionstartheLeader's request.
I had fun doing it, but it took MUCH longer than usual, since I decided to try a new method. Rather than my normal cartoony anime style, I wanted to do something a bit more realistic, and do art the way my bro does.
The result? Well, for my first time trying to paint this way, I'm pleased with how it turned out. As a painting in general, it's pretty awful. Mostly the anatomy. Blargh. Those wolves look so terrible. And they look like they're staring off in weird directions since I did the eyes differently too. Blehh! Oh well. I still kind of like it.
I did it with PSE 7, as usual. I do not own the song--it's Lift the Wings, by Bill Whelan. So yeah.

Oooh this one kicked my butt, but Im so so happy with how it turned out. A collab between my buddy @galaxymew and I! I did the animation for the first two shots, and all the backgrounds; Galaxy did the animation for the final three shots, and all the effects work like the lighting and breath clouds. (She is very cool, check out her work.)
What a fun AU and aesthetic! Man, animating those two shots near about killed me (I LOVE Sols design but he is an ornery boy to animate, with all the different moving parts.) But I had fun figuring out how to animate heavy breathing or jumping down a pile of rocks. Which, painting that pile of rocks, was also a fun adventure to problem solve! In the end, Im overwhelmingly happy with how it all came together, and I will refrain from being THIS ambitious until at least after the holidays. Haha.
