Crowbit: Thank you! I don't have much experience drawing wolves so I'm really glad to hear that!
calebartist: Thank you, really appreciate your kind words and support. I agree about adding more areas of rest, I'll try to be more conscious of this in the future. I'm also trying to keep my brushwork a bit looser now, as I feel that can be a bit more interesting then refining everything in the painting. Still experimenting with technique but I really like your suggestions, so thank sagain!
darktiste: I had a bunch of different references for the poses, muscle groups, and different types of wolves so what you're seeing is a combination of my interpretation of all the material. Great input as always, hopefully the image works better now that it's painted with the lighting implemented, I feel it looks a bit more natural now with the planes established than flat lines, but please feel free to let me know!
................
I went ahead and finished the painting process. I got the colors and values pretty much how I wanted them fairly early, so everything went quite smooth. I'm pretty satisfied with how the image turned out, but there's still time to implement any feedback if necessary, so if something looks off please let me know.
Below is the current preview followed by the steps for those interested:
