Default wolf relief
This is a combination of a John Engler background and a Lora Irish wolf. I am not happy with the nose, but overall it is okay. Critiques welcome!

Until you mentioned the nose, I thought it was really nice...actually I still do, but you are right, the nose looks a little off. Maybe near the right eye (left as you look at it) the nose is a bit off center. That's all I can see.

I'd still give it a STRONG 8 1/2+++

You shouldn't have mentioned the nose!

It looks very nice, Joy. If you hadn't mentioned the nose, I doubt anyone would have noticed. The finish is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Ed. We are always our own worst critic. I made a little carving correction under the wolf's right eye and now I am repairing the paint. I think I helped a little.
