Wolf of the Desert!
"A wolf sketch that I did about three years ago. He's not an original character of mine. I give credit to the true artist as I based my drawing from her/his original artwork. Unfortunately I can't recall the artists name." --KosmoKoyote
Here is KosmoKoyote's Wolf of the Desert, depicting a tribal anthro rendered in a realistic semi-feral style. This Wolf is notably different from Kosmo's usual approach, which combines the proportions and exaggerated expressions of classic 'toons with highly finished human anatomy. Here, however, the artist gives us a real wolf, representing it as walking upright and possessed of human intelligence.
Like the Old Masters of the past, Kosmo knows that one may obtain a new perspective on their own style by looking carefully at the work of others. To seek inspiration in this way is a time-honored practice by which the best in art is collected, recast, and preserved as part of our cultural legacy. When we see artists like KosmoKoyote looking both to nature and to that which is artistically excellent, we feel confident that modern anthro will find its ultimate place in the story of Western art.
