The Silver Metal Doggie. (Well, if so, then that’s quite a colorful subway.)

This piece is rather abstract, and I do have to say that it doesn’t much match the description of the HOWL unit in the story. For instance, the text mentions “shoulder-mounted rocket boosters,” and the mass of irregular shapes on the wolf’s back in this piece don’t add up to anything solidly technological.

That said, It is a pretty, colorful and engaging piece, and definitely conveys the menace that the viewpoint character of the story was facing. That and the execution make this a top tier piece for me. Good work, Artist!

I will preface this by saying I have not read the story tied to this. Or any story this round, for that matter. So I will be judging these four art pieces by their own qualities only.



That out of the way, I really like this one. The colors blend super well, it's just disproportional enough to convey what it is without looking cartoonish, the weird... thing on its back really makes me want to delve deeper into the piece, and you got the almost glow-in-the-dark-ness of the wolf spot on.

Oh, and I absolutely love the contrast between the black floor? Wall? Background of the top half, and the colorful, attractiveness of the floor under it.

However, the way the head is tilted down makes it look more sad, or lonely, than menacing, which I believe was the goal with it. Regardless, again, I really like this one.

Great use of colours, and I would have liked some more solid lines, and speaking of li...ons, this guy looks more like a lion than a wolf.

Also shoutout to giving him a tragic expression, it fits with the story very appropriately.

Top drawer, Artist.
