Description
This graphite drawing was done around '89 or so (in highschool art class), but I still like it, and it took me forever to draw. It's my interpretation of the antlered Celtic deity Herne/Cernunnos, holding his enchanted staff, surrounded by his wolves, with his dragon on his shoulder (all of them wearing crystals), his horn, flutes and lyre hung by his side and snow-covered Stonehenge in the background. (Yes, I know the the wolf's leg is bent in the wrong place, but I had only drawn one other wolf before drawing these, so I wasn't that adept with canine anatomy.)
Edit: Scanned the original, since the previous image was just a photo of the drawing. It looks much better now.

It is very rare for an artist to truly render a wolf....and you have done it multiple times in this one piece! The shading is exquisite- I especially like the robe. Nice work!

Cannot see the image, and cannot find it in your gallery anywhere?..
Will try again some other time.

I don't know why the smaller view image isn't loading (not just on this, but on other people's' pics too), but the full view is there, so just click on it to get that one.

I did try that lady.
The image didn't even appear as a blank for me to click on. It just didn't exist!
However I've just noticed the "Full View" button on the left.
And, thanks to the wonder of menu buttons, have been able to add it to my collection. X
I thank you for your info.

Ah ok...but weird, because full view works fine for me when I click on the blank thumbnail. O_o Anyways, thanks for the fave and comment!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah there was no thumbnail for me at all, still isn't. 
And you're quite welcome. X
