Description

_{"The wolves, my love will come,
Taking us home where dust once was a man.
Is there Life before a Death?
Do we long too much and never let in?

HOWL!
7 days to the wolves!
Where will we be when they come?
7 days to the poison,
And a place in heaven!
Time drawing near as they come to take us..."

~~:: 7 Days to the Wolves, Nightwish ::~~

--------------------------------

*cough* I am still on a Nightwish craze after going to a concert the other day... >.>

Anywho... This has been in my head since then and I only just got a chance to put it to paper and fix it up with Photoshop the other day. ^^

It's still not entirely finished as I would kind of like to see if I can put some sort of background to it and maybe put a little more detail into the fur and stuff as well, if I can.. I'd also like to go over the lineart and see if I can get it a little neater, as well as fix a few other things, but.. Just so you guys can see it ^^

'Tis all 5 of the Wolves of Paradise from ~rikufanattic's Book of the Seekers howling... into uh... The night air I guess.. Which is white for the moment.. hehe

Inspired by the song, obviously :3

From left to right:
Selma belongs to
Yuki belongs to
Ace belongs to
Jaquelyn belongs to
Shauni belongs to (That's me)

DON'T STEAL THEM OR THIS ART, OR I BITEEE!! Rawrr!!

Original sketch was done on computer paper with .5mm Mechanical pencil and black Ticonderoga pencil erasers, as always, then scanned into Photoshop, fixed up, and colored..

If I missed anything or messed something up, as is extremely likely.. Please let me know and I'll fix it. I used references from everyone for each character, but I might have missed some things. If so, I'm sorry! ;.;

Oh, and if you would like to listen to the full song, you can find it here: [link] Just type in "7 Days to the Wolf" in the search bar and click on "nightwish-7 Days to the Wolves". Enjoy! ^^

Comments and critiques, as always, are welcomed and encouraged.

EDIT: Fixed Yuki's design. ^^ Does everything look ok?}

Oh yay! Seekers art! Or just a collage of friends :3
It's nice to see more art work of us all together. I think I should get off my lazy ass and contribute already. Your piece has completely inspired me :3
Thanks a lot buddy for doing this!
