expanding around me, a blindness of snow
whip-driven by cold winds, but no place to go
and all of the pack-ice that I chance to find
is scrolled in the foot-notes that I leave behind

you do usually see the bottem canines, but that's not all the time. Besides, it's a anthro, maybe his canines are smaller :P
Love the facial expression. It really captures the feeling of lost well. Kudos!
Yet another amazingly expressive piece. You could almost hear the howling wind...
oh wow.. that makes me feel so sad. i just can't look away. are you going to be selling prints of this or possibly the original?
Ah...I know that lost feeling...
Wonderfully expressive piece! Another that really touches you. I love it! The lyrics I offer here was not written or inspired by this...but it does seem appropriate.
"...do you know, do you feel
there deep within your soul
how it feels to be alone?
Driven out in the ice cold snow
...do you know...do you know...
I am desolate without you..." - Lyrics by me, taken from a song called "Lost" that I wrote a long time ago.

A beautiful picture, Blotch, and a love poem to go with.

This pic is so good. How in the world did you get that warm breath in cold weather effect?
Very Emotional. I think I've found my wallpaper for the next several months
The snow effect is stunning. Is that just a tactical application of acrylic spatter? I feel colder than I already am now...
I'd also like to second an opinion voiced above: perfect winter desktop image.

My word...this should represent me today....well....all the time in that fact...because for the past few months I've been truely lost.
*hugs the poor wuffie* awwwwrrrr... i know how he feels... it's definitely not fun, being lost and alone like that...
I really REALLY like the snow effect in this picture, how did you create the illusion of the layering and the flakes?
You've taken another step to the upper level...
I really adore this picture more from what I've seen before... with your skills...
Awesome work...

holy crap am I the only one wondering how the hell he does it?
I mean srsly, look at the snow... he does this with PAINT people... PAINT!
:D:D:D:D:D

Poor guy... Your work is always so great at capturing an emotion, sometimes my own. Beautiful!
I like the way you blended the background into the foreground without a distinct horizon. The snowflakes are so realistic, especially with different perspective on each flake!
Is this going to MFF? Seems fit for their Alaskan theme!

oddly the scenery and expressions reminds me of the ending scene of wolf's rain.
but nice, i like the splatter snow

When I saw the thumbnail Wolf's Rain is the first thing that came to mind for me.
that was by far one of my favorite shows, too bad it was ridiculously depressing
Wonderful image.
And that's kinda how I feel right now...
And that's kinda how I feel right now...
A beautiful scene, a wonderful poem, a feeling so strong, art that will touch many with a sensation that is so common.
Awww poor Wolf...Scary! Especially since I'm a Wolf too...THanks for the Great Work Blotch!
Wow, we just had our first snow here at PSU, and even tho it didn't stick, just the fact that there was snow in the air made everything so different. I found myself double checking my location a few times walking to classes.
-hugs poor wolf- I know how you feel <3

Stunning pic, really captures the majesty of canis lupus. Ironic that the first snow of the year was today for me as well.
Very beautiful, as always.
I love the splatter you did for the snow, very effective.

Da-yum I wish I got this many comments XD your work is awsome as always

:( Too sad. You should do a follow up on this, where he stumbles back to that crazy pack party not far off and everyone is like "Haha, wondering around drunk again. U so crazy!!"
Don't worry. Sooner or later he'll run into a nice big dragon >:)
and use it's reptilian chicken flesh for nourishment until help arrives or is found! Brilliant!
Wonderful picture! I wish i could shed light where darkness lies to a safe area he can rest.
The snow particles are awesome, that rungy feel they have gives the piece a oil-painting feel and a aged effect to the overall. And I'm a sucker for things like that.
Good show, dear sir.
Good show, dear sir.
lovin the whole mood to this, and the footprints are nicely done! the character is great, too, as always (:
I really hope this is going to be available in prints. I would snap this one up in an instant!
Awesome show of emotion. Very well done. Makes this kitty sad. So faved.
Very, very rarely, an artist will post a piece that can move me emotionally in an instant. So far it's only been Tani and one other artist who've managed it with a single piece each. You've just added your name to that list.
This is just heartbreakingly beautiful.

Love the details of the anthropomorphized animals you incorporate into your characters!
Aw man... I feel sorry for him... Someone throw him a thermal parka, a thermos of hot tea, and a map!

Is this a piece of someone else's poem, or did you write it yourself?
Both poem and picture are very good....and very deep...

i know your probably tired of nagging comments but this drawing reminds me of a poem i wrote
here : http://deathbreather.deviantart.com.....-Call-66325418 except I got the idea from the jack london book the call of the wild. i also find your work very interesting and you have great skill far greater than my own.

this kinda reminds me on how Wolf's Rain starts and ends with Kiba crawling in the snow, except this is WAY more detailed and non-death-like
Yep! that's Michigan, Welcome to Detroit!. Colder than the Hoarfrost of Nifelhiem. Worse, they shoot at you too! S'why i live in San Diego
I just drove home through this winter's first snowstorm, and what do I see when I finally arrive? This beautiful piece of art..
Very nice work as always, love the writing that go with it as well
I'm lost in the depths of my cold, cold heart my sunglasses even look like that!
I've had dreams like this, literally, even in anthro wolf form.
I've seem to recall having similar feelings to this before, though not quite as drastic, necessarily... though in the literal sense, I am from Alaska.
Also, by chance is that a rhyme you made, or from a poem?

Heavy snow won't stop a wolf unless he has mentally lost. The expression speaks it. Got the same feeling here, not knowing where to go, or whether I should go if there is any.
Oh forget it... What I want to say... Nice picture!

OH NOOOOOO!
He looks like he's having a dump in the snow...... and it's a BIG one..... the sort you get after eating a whole box of shredded-wheat !!!!
Trust me to lower the tone - DAMN this international time difference between us Blotch..

Looks like he wandered into Ft. McMurray :\
So...cold... x......x

I faved this a bit ago...but I just can't look away without leaving a comment. This piece of work is incredible. Just by staring at it, it made me feel cold and suddenly felt like I was taken somewhere so far away from my home...It was just that impressionable on me. ^^; Great work as always.
I usually dont see a point in leaving yall comments, since your so good an popular everything usually said by the time I see your posts. :) But well done again, amazing work. Your still one of my favorite artists, mainly for the fur... goddamned yall can draw some fur.
I love the mood... I think we all have definitely felt this way one time or another.
Koniec
V zavejoch hlbokych, vokol len mraz,
snehom prediera sa sedy vlk zas.
Vichrica navokol, ubuda sil,
pred nim je cesta na stovky mil...
Silny vietor duje mu v ustrety,
uspeje ci podda sa ten vlk ustaty ?
Samotny v chlade pod kozu vnika mraz...
Uvidi slnko este aspon raz ?
Mizerny zivot... do zil sa vlieva lutost.
Nezostal nik, kto by on mal starost.
Ni laska uz nehreje, ostalo prazdno len,
priatelia su tiez prec, zostal mu uz len sen...
V smutku a ustaty zdvihol tvar k lune,
vsak tu nevidno cez mraky bujne.
Pustinou snehovou bludi strateny
Sklonil k nej nestastne svoj pohlad sklamany.
Pomaly umiera, jeho telo chladne,
lesknu sa smutkom oci prazdne...
A v momente kedy odkvapne slza,
zivot z jeho tela naveky sklza...

I think of it as my mate, not only cause is a wolf but cause he feel lost without me, I would certainly howl back to him everytime, so he knows that he is not alone and where to find me, awesome work Blotch, just fav it
Reminds me of when I got lost on a trail in a snowstorm in Alaska. Fortuntely, I stumbled in the right direction. :) Nice drawing.
Great job!
Very emptional, indeed.
It doesn't even take such an adverse environment to feel lost sometimes.

hmm yeah I would let him yiff me you need to do more wolf yiff stuff I like that and you're better at it muur~
Is anyone alive down here on the bottom of the comments? XD I'm a bit late to comment
I wonder if I can say anything down here and anybody see it XD
Don't forget to go see Bolt! It arrives in Theatres November 21st!... You know, seeing Bolt drawn in Blotch style... that would be one awesome picture ^_^

A large dragon comes from out of the sky to save the lost wolf"It's ok it's ok I'll get you back home!"[love his expression, really tugs the heart strings][oh and for the heck of it]1.21 Jigawats..thets the enrgie of a lightning bolt! *marty*A what? *doc brown*A lightning bolt, there is no way of knowing when and where one will strike next![XD]
Really interesting mix of anthro and feral shapes in this one!
Aww...the poor thing. Excellent composition in showing the isolation and desperation of this lost creature. Hope they make it out okay.
beautiful, heart-wrenching, a fantastic illustration of being lost.
when I see this it makes me thnk "brrr, I been walking for hours, and no one in sight... Is there anyone out there for me?
Late coming but this is touching. So much feeling in this one. I know exactly what he's feeling.
Where are you now?
The fears are comin back to me once again
Oh, I wish you were here
Takin good care of me
I want you
I feel as though i'm out in the cold...
Shut me out in the cold...
Where are you now...
I need you...
Hear me callin...
I'm so cold...
Can't you see i'm out in the cold...
Please rescue me...
Lyrics from Judas Priest's: Out in the Cold
Just made me think of that, maybe i'm just wierd...

A good song that goes with it is Bring Me To Life by Evanescence
^.^ Lovely poem and capturing picture. I hope his pack hears him and he finds his way home.
Wow... this is a really emotional piece. Awesomeness! :)

The lone wolf lost in the snow has always been an important metaphor for me, and you've captured it so beautifully here.
This is an awesome piece.
I hope you don't mind if I write a little something about it. If you don't mind I'll make sure you are given full credit for the inspiration and first view of what is written.
