Very nice. I like the colors (Wolf's Dragoons?).

Kell Hounds. I should have stuck a badge on it.

Scanned it and colored it in Photoshop.

Aren't they up to CS6 by now? I've got Photoshop Elements 8.

Reminds me that I still have dreams about Jenners with ERPPCs.

I like it. Still wanting to see one done with a head that remotely evokes the description from the novels, but that ain't your problem.

Beautiful. ; o ; I love how you added the glow for its arm weapon.

How is it described in the novels? I've read Blood of Kerensky but don't remember how that Wolfhound was described, I do remember the name though, 'Grinner'.

First thought was oh, artist I am not so familiar with - second was, did he paint one of Bishop Steiners?

Photoshop CS2 is free and legal to download. You get every function you need, just google it.

I want to print that off, laminated it, and use it as a bookmark.... now if only I had a decent printer.

It was described as a lean, vicious looking war machine, like an Avatar of Anubis, where the wolf like head elemetns was really pronounced. Although I took some liberties with the legs, I always envisoned it like this

The lean and vicious I remember (vaguely) but the bit about Anubis? What book (Novel, Manual, what have you) was that from?

I like the pic BTW - but it doesn't quite say Wolfhound to me so much as rabid fox (not the mech RF, but the animalistic concept)

I changed the head a bit, the other one was wonky.

Some elements of the old one were good (the nose bit) but would have made the new one more (to?) crowded I think.

I had that panel on the front but it looked like a nose with the grill on the front as the mouth and once I saw that I couldn't NOT see it, so it had to go

[Alaskan Nobody]

I thought it was supposed to look like a nose

I really like the feel of your artwork style! I'd love to see what you'd do with a Centurion or Shadow Hawk

In the Warrior trilogy. Riposte, actually, I believe. But also in other later novels.

Did you like the Warrior Trilogy Bishop? I haven't read those yet.

So far I've only read The Blood of Kerensky, Heir to the Dragon, Double Blind, Wolves on the Border...I might be forgetting a couple.
