I got a new phone recently and after looking at free wallpapers for something quick and easy to put on there I thought, Ugh, I can do better than most of that. No, really, its not a compliment to my artwork but a complaint about the poor quality of stuff out there. I suppose it was free.

I was also disturbed because most of it was actual artwork stolen and shrunk to fit from where ever people found something cool. That's great if you want to download it to your own phone but don't offer it to other people without asking & crediting the original artist.</rant>

Anyway, that led me to making some of my own and it was suggested that I make something with a wolf for my brother. My phone has the ability to show an animated wallpaper so I thought I would make him a nice picture of a wolf howling at the moon with clouds rolling across the background.

That lead me to using photoshop. I haven't used anything but illustrator in ages. Several times I thought...I know there's an easier way to do this. This led to looking up tutorials and doing more pictures which led to the latest picture.

I will have to do some more stuff to keep what skills I have from leaving my brain in favour of useless tv show trivia. O_o
