Fan art for The Muse written by the ever-so-talented Cimmerians. This is my attempt at illustrating the following passage: “In Cambria, someone’s wolfhound that had gotten off-leash discovered their shaded picnic spot under a spreading oak, and within five minutes Kurt had the massive dog paws-up on his back, the giant, toothy head pressed with desperate affection against Kurt’s outstretched legs, shuddering and whining with joy when Kurt scratched his chest. Blaine shuddered in sympathy and grabbed his sketchbook, and when they got back he spent three days painting Taming at Moonstone. The dog wasn’t really a dog anymore, and the backdrop was deep, dense, misty forest rather than the innocent open oaks of Moonstone Beach, but Kurt was still in the vibrant red shirt, white skinny jeans and tall boots, still remote and amused and sexily self-assured, gorgeously teasing as the dark wolf-monster-thing died of love under the touch of his fine, white fingers.” The story is an incredible piece of art in itself– breathtaking, captivating– and while with every sketch or painting the author would describe I wanted to give it a try myself, I never quite felt up to the challenge. But I’m seeing enough fan art for The Muse lately that I finally decided to go for it… choosing, of course, the piece that would allow me the joy of depicting the toothy, grinning wolf-monster-thing. As you can see, I ended up taking certain artistic liberties with the poor beast for my own twisted enjoyment: multiple tails, scale-plate things on the forelegs, glowing eyes, and so on. I hope it’s alright. All of that said, thanks for looking! And seriously, go and read The Muse right now if you haven’t already. :) -- source link
