Hey folks, I haven't been on here in a while. Anyway, just thought I post this.
This contest is for movie poster and character designs for a movie script I'm writing titled: "Dogwood" The script's main protagonists are two arctic wolves. I have an idea for their appearance along with the rest of the cast but as for other supporting and background characters. I could use some help.
For the movie poster the main characters Darren and Dorthia can be used.
Darren's design was inspired by/based on the fan art picture below:
