2010 Fan Art Calendar:  JULY

Misty Memories.  Dart remembers the past, the many places he has lived.

Born of the Forest and wolf, raised by the sun and sand.
Was once a chief of Jackwolf riders, but now, I am where I belong.
I found my place amongst the Forest and Wolves.
At home, and at peace, with myself and my family.

I really like this...Dart really is one of the Wolfrider's with the most interesting stories, and you make a great point about how his "place" keeps being refined.

Sera, I hope you come to this site to read your comments.  I just want to congratulate you, I have seen so much improvement in your art in the last year or so.  This is by far the most ambitious piece I've ever seen you do - both in the concept and the sheer amount of drawing involved.

I know you still consider your coloring a bit rough, but it doesn't matter, the characters are drawn very well and you nailed the theme dead on!

Where oh where is dartfan when you need him??  I agree with Windrider -- you got the theme spot on!  And so many memories... very well done and very well thought out; I can tell you put a lot of love and effort into this!  Lovely!

Edit: This also makes me think about just how lucky Dart is to have so much love in his life; all the elves do, but Dart seems especially blessed, and your image just made me think of it :)

Good choice of character, indeed. Dart may have had the longest way to finding his place. Or maybe finding it again and again? Defining it newly?
Beautiful picture!

I really love with this one how you went all out and chose to give us that key look at all those moments of Dart's path in life -- he sure does have a lot to think back over, as he seems to be doing! :)

Beautiful job. I think you really get a clear sense of the many hats Dart's worn over the years. And I love his contemplative expression, as if he's trying to decide where to go next.

Thank you so much everyone. I was so excited to see this one made it in. I worked very hard on it. I redrew it at least once, then layered it then colored it. It took me months to finish and I am really happy with it.
