Oooh this is a trade with Mix? O:

Very cool rendition of the character! This is probably one of your best pieces yet! It really shows that you've been using references for both poses and actual animals as well.

For the background hmmmm.... maybe a ruined city? http://www.google.com/images?rlz=1C1_____enUS330US330&q=bombed%20out%20city&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=939&bih=882 ?

Whatever you pick should not be complementary and not detracting to the figure in the foreground.

Is this wolf or coyote Mix? I think he mentioned recently that Mix is a coyote now, but I'm not the person you're trading with so ask him xD

I thought he said he was inbetween... or maybe mix was used as name and not like strawberry banana :|
Glad to hear that, I'm trying to outdo myself, and I hope I accomplish it. Still not 100% happy with the mouth there though, but it's not hardlined like the rest of the picture.

Yeah I was thinking about a cityscape of some sort, and also maybe just clouds (with some in the foreground so it doesn't look flat). My biggest issue is figuring out how to make it look like one picture, since I forgot to plan a background beforehand :C

:b I really need to get to doing my half once I get past a deadline for something
This looks epic <3
I can't wait to see
and to answer questions above
Mix is full coyote XD
His wolf days are behind him forevermore.
(and Mix came from my dA username not cos of the meaning mix)
