She's been sold, but does anyone else find some of their pictures go missing from their Flickr stream? Had to upload this again after looking for it to post a link on facebook...
I have long dreamed to create BJD Wolf before. And I was started to do a big wolf, but project was frozen due to lack of time.
As you can see, I was lucky to walk with wolf-cubs(album Biostation «Clean forest»).
And some time ago I started to create BJD wolf puppy(in between the priming of my lady-dragon ^_^). Now, while the dragon waits for her turn to cast, I continue to finish the sculpt.
This cub will be 3D printed(polyamide) painted BJD.
Someday I will finish big wolf project too.
I was going through my archives when I found this picture. It's a shot I took last winter at the end of the day when it was dark already.
ISO 800 - fill-in flash.
Have a great sunday!
The Maned Wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) is the largest canid of South America, resembling a dog with reddish fur.
The distribution includes southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia east of the Andes. It is an endangered species.
The Maned Wolf has often been described as "a Red Fox on stilts" due to its similar coloration and overall appearance, though it is a far larger animal and is not related to the genus Vulpes. The adult animal stands almost 1 m (3 ft) tall at the shoulder, and weighs 20 to 25 kg. (50 to 55 lb). Its fur is reddish brown to golden orange on the sides, with long, black legs and a distinctive black mane. The coat is further marked with a whitish tuft at the tip of the tail and a white "bib" beneath the throat. The mane is erectile, and is typically used to enlarge the wolf's profile when threatened or when displaying aggression.
Unlike other large canids (Wolves, African Hunting Dogs, Dholes) the Maned Wolf does not form packs.Monogamous pairs may defend a shared territory, though the wolves themselves may seldom meet, outside of mating. Several adults may congregate in the presence of a plentiful food source; a fire-cleared patch of grassland, for example, which would leave small vertebrate prey exposed to foraging wolves.
They use their urine to communicate. It has a very distinctive smell, which some people liken to just opened beer, or cannabis. The responsible substance is very likely a pyrazine, which occurs in both cannabis and hop (which is used in beer). In Rotterdam Zoo, the police even once searched for cannabis smokers because of this. (HA!)
The Maned Wolf is not closely related to any other canid. It is apparently a survivor from the Pleistocene fauna of large South American mammals; its closest relatives seem to be the dogs and wolves (genus Canis). Previously, some authorities placed it with the various South American foxes, others with the Bush Dog.

Wolf : Elephanthide, 110 gsm, 45x45cm, wet finished. See previous rendition(s) for some background info.
Log (?) : 'Folded' from a scrap of Thai Silk Paper, using a highly advanced technique commonly referred to as "indiscriminate crumpling"... :-) Okay, okay, not totally indiscriminate - there was some planning involved. CP available for anyone interested ... JUST KIDDING! :-)
About 15 months or so ago, I promised someone that I would fold this wolf for him. I told the nice gentleman that it may take some time but I didn't expect it to be more than a year ... One reason for the delay was because I couldn't find the right paper. I had thought about using EH but was afraid it might be too thick until I ran out of ideas and decided to give it a try a couple of days ago. Well, it worked better than I expected. It had been quite a while since I last folded with EH - I had forgotten how much I love this paper! I had also forgotten how much EH can bruise your fingers!
Anyway, he may have forgotten or even lost interest but I will be contacting him shortly. This brown one isn't for him. I have folded another one last night using grey EH - which is what I think he would prefer. Wet finished it just now and am waiting for it to dry completely.
Since the beginning of this year, I have delivered several very long outstanding "orders", including a couple of Ron's pigs. I have told myself that I won't be taking any more "orders" as this is just too stressful for me - unfulfilled 'orders' really make me feel guilty when I am folding some other stuff and even when I am not folding anything ... :-).
Hmmm ... I should work on the head/face again ...
