I don't know if there are huge differences between old/young wolves or male/female wolves...

Looking at various picture on Wikipedia, it looks like a lot of wolves have kinda skinny legs... I don't know, though. I'm almost afraid to make the legs any bigger! If I make the little one's legs too muscular, they'll be close to the size of the bigger wolf's legs.

Unless you're looking at the feet. Those may need some work. :-/ And I suppose I could beef up the back legs a tiny bit...

If you want a suggestion, so that you don't have to worry about messing up the image, I would say save two images of the same: the original and current one that people are giving suggestions on, and then another one to test the suggestions on. The second one will give you a general idea of what the image (altered using suggestions by other people) will look like. If it just doesn't look right, then delete it. All the while, the original image is still there. These are like testing images, if you want to call them that. :) You could use everyone's suggestions, and not alter the previous image.

And I agree with the part about the paws; they do look small, now that I look again. :amused:

I beefed up the back legs a little (and the feet, because that was bothering me) and I must admit, I think it looks a bit better. I left the front legs as they are, though. I also gave her more chest-fluff, because I thought she was lacking it.

Also, thanks for the seperate file thing suggestion... I had actually been working on the original file the whole time, but it's a good thing I hadn't saved it yet!

:hyper: They look great! You did a really good job on beefing up the back legs and making the paws bigger. I really do think it looks better than when you first started, and the extra chest-fluff really gives it an added feel. :)

Yes, the separate file always helped me out when I needed suggestions for my work as well because, if I liked the outcome of the 2nd file, I could delete the first file and keep the 2nd. It really made my life a whole lot easier!

I think you should move the front paws slightly forward, because the chest bothers me and i believe that would fix it

The neck seems a little too long and the back legs look off but it is a good start. I would sugest looking at a reference. :-/

they look as if they have been constructed more like a dragon then a wolf, it is not bad, but that is something to think about
