acrylic study

my pal claire was starting on a big project using assorted wolf photo reference (it's gonna look awsome! not sayin' anymore) and i was looking through the pictures she had.... came across this wolf with an odd looking, really beautiful face. it's face was really long and it's eyes were really unusually placed. it seemed to make it rather expressive.
sadly, i couldn't really capture it here, but i think it came out well despite the fact....
