"WQ Chapter 3 page 1" by LilLadyXtraordinaire

Welcome to "The front page of DeviantArt", a daily adventure into the magic and artistry that can be found in the newest uploads to the popular internet art showcase DeviantArt. Every image we use links back to the original piece, so if you want to see something in all its glory just click the image.

Our first piece today is WQ Chapter 3 page 1 by artist LilLadyXtraordinaire. The WQ, I think, stands for "Wolf Quest" - which is the MMO Miss Xtraordinaire takes screenshots of to create her works.


I'm immediately troubled by the lack of pupils on the wolf in the last panel. The thick black eyeshadow suggests that MSPaint was cleverly employed, but for what end I can't figure out. Is the wolf posessed? Dead? It can't be dead, it's clearly talking in bold, misspelled english. "Thank you so mutch" indeed.

I can't say I'm fond of the art direction here. The stretched and skewed screencaps of 3d wolves staring with their cold, dead eyes gives the impression that the entire thing is being acted out by stuffed wolf corpses being pushed about on little carts.

(As a note, Ms. Xtraordinare makes mention in the description of this page that "you're wolf can be in the comic! Yust upload your wolf on Da with in the Artist's Comments: the stats of your wolf! this is specail offer is until page 5 is uploaded of this chapter". Better hurry to get in on the action, I guess)
