This image is a start of a series I am currently working on of mammals. The wolverine is a personal favorite, but then I am particular to all mustilids ( weasels etc)
When seen like this it is easy to see they are related to a weasel! However a weasel is probably the size of a wolverine's back foot! Huge claws and and great speed make these animals a frightening predator.
Skull of a wolverine (Gulo gulo).
Here I am holding the upper left canine next to the skull so that you can see how far up into the skull itself the tooth is rooted. The more stress a tooth must take, the deeper the roots go.
Nothing fancy, just a basic arms outstretched pose with blood splatter everywhere I had to get out of my head late one night as an exercise.
Next to his leg is actually a little of my *own* blood, so it's a DNA enriched.
Whacked it up on Ebay since so many people expressed interest in this one. ( And because paying rent is fun )

This is my first attempt at a Wolverine portrait. It took far longer than I expected but that may be partly due to the amount of time I spent looking at topless photos of Hugh Jackman in the name of research! It's a hard life ;-)
The painting was created digitally using traditional painting techniques.
This painting is available to purchase on my Etsy Store via my website www.tessalake.co.uk (There is no watermark on the final print)

Tomorrow it's my first day in the University. It's going to be really really hard, there are a lot of signatures, there will be a lot of homework and everything will change.
High School was extremely awesome and it was there when I start to take a lot of shots of action figures. These are the last shots of high school ( I have like 10 more but I will upload theme later) I had a lot of projects in mind but I was really busy and I couldn't do them on time.
Anyway, I hope I can upload my last shots before University this week. I don't know if I will be able to use flickr as much as in High School so thanks to all the great persons I have met here, thanks for your support, you encouraging words, your suggestions, everything. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MY BEST WISHES TO ALL OF YOU!
Look at the paws on this guy! Last summer, a visitor reported to our Butterfly Monitoring Crew Lead, Michelle Toshack, that they had seen a wolverine chasing a marmot while hiking just to the west of the Park boundary in the Skagit watershed. Michelle told our wildlife biologists, and Roger Christophersen set up a scent lure to attempt to attract the wolverine to a hair snare and motion camera. The remote camera captured these photos of a male wolverine and the snare caught a useful hair sample.
Keith Aubry, Wildlife Biologist with the US Forest Service had the hair sample analyzed and recently reported that the DNA analysis confirmed this report as the westernmost verifiable record of a wolverine in the last 15 years! In addition, the hair sample identified this wolverine as "Special K", a previously captured wild study animal. Special K was caught in a trap near Bridge Creek back in February of 2012, but would not go down during immobilization and had to be released without a radio-collar intended to track movements across its home range. Luckily, biologists had taken a hair sample that allowed this identification that gives researchers another example of how wide-ranging these animals are - the two sites are separated by more than 45 miles and a mountain range!
