First place:
DF1.

Why did I choose DF1 for first?
Well, very simple actually. I like shading -- I like it the best when the whole picture is shaded. And, I could tell that it's a wolf. The only thing I'd suggest with the shading, is just smudging it a bit.

second:

Alrighty, I chose this as second because with computer art I feel the computer has generated it. For example, the grass. You used a brush for that. Well, this how I feel, I'm not saying I don't like it, but I feel you put more effort into a hand drawn shaded drawing. ;P Because if you did grass hand drawn you'd draw each strand. For programs, you just click and it does it for you ;P You did indeed put a LOT of effort into this, more than I do with TG actually, [XD] so I didn't feel that you should be DQed or a runner-up for it, because you put a LOT of effort into your entire picture. ;P


Good formation for the most part, but I'm more for shading of the whole body.  i like the whole pose, but I'm not much for plain white. otherwise, nice job ;P

Nice coloring job, probably better than I could do, but adorable pic for the most part. Nicely shaped ears, but the only thing I would do is darken the coloring up a bit. ;P

Very nice entries to all though.
