Wolf in Intended Habitat


Remember the wolf from about two posts earlier? Well, here it is, in the intended habitat, in color. You see now exactly why I spent mumble years futzing around with it.

This was taken immediately after completion Sunday afternoon (you can see the yellow ink smears on the one side). The skin around it is already red in the picture, but is fading today. The minor bleeding you can see in some of the yellow has cleared out, too. Still a bit ouchy, but not too bad.

The artist worked around two freckles/moles that are slightly raised - flat ones he'll go over, but he doesn't like to mess with anything that could possibly be a problem site. I can handle that (and Dr. Iza saw them earlier this year, along with the fifty-zillion other spots on my back and shoulders), although the one is the backs-side paw is kinda obvious. The other one not so much.

Since this is immediately after completion, the colors are as vivid as they'll ever be. They were still that bright this morning, but I expect the skin to start peeling today, at which time the appearance starts to move to the less-bright fully healed state.
