The Dire Wolf. Or as I so jokingly call it, the Dire Wuff. LOL.
Skeleton references were used because I just felt like trying to reconstruct one. His back looks extra puffy because of angry hackles. I have a few more "reconstructed" sketches of these guys. If I get bored (which I never seem to be) I may paint a couple more. But this was fun and quick and wasn't intended to be a painting at all. LOL.
