Commission for Celtic Man, done as a gift for :iconillahie:, of their two chars (gray wolf and Irish elk) and Duncan, Illahie's pet ferret...I made the knotwork and spirals orange and green to symbolize the colors of the Irish flag (since the location is in Newgrange, Ireland), and the kilt in the colors of Celtic Man's family tartan (or as close as I could approximate it, anyway). The flowers and jewelry are also symbolic of the chars. :) (And since many people have asked, I used only colored pencils--mainly Caran D'Ache--mechanical pencil and drawing pens, and the pic took me about 3 months to finish. You can see the WIP lineart here: [link] )

Edit: I never dreamt I would get a DD on this!! :faint: Thank you so much, `cooley and `savagebinn!!! :heart:

Bearing in mind that my surname is Connell and our symbol BEING the stag and our name meaning wolf this means a tremendous deal to me. Thanks a million.
