Far away from Jeremiah's home in Wolfaria, high atop the Great Mountain, there grows the Great Tree, a symbol of the all-powerful being who created all life in the land. This being, known as the Great Wolf, resides at the summit and is a wolf like no other. He stands head-and-shoulders above the tallest being in Wolfaria, and his power is such that even to look into his eyes can make even the most prideful person in the world cower in shame.

But he is not so intimidating as to be unapproachable. And he is not so obsessed with power as to not care about those people he created. His eyes see even into the darkest place in the land, and his heart is such that even to whisper his name in one's darkest time is enough for him to be there in an instant, speaking words of truth and comfort the way only he can.

So, my story "Jeremiah: A Wolf's Tale" will, of course, be an allegory, and this guy is to be allegorical to God or Jesus, basically the Aslan figure of the story. I was originally going to make him a lion or cheetah, but I either kept running into problems, or I didn't like the end result. Then, much more recently, I was inspired to make him a wolf after I remembered a couple of things my brother-in-Christ, Truth-lover3712 , posted. (He's a cool guy, btw.)

Besides design challenges, this picture wasn't without rendering troubles, either. Turns out DAZ Studio has a couple different rendering engines, one being NVIDIA Iray, and the other being 3Delight. Shouldn't be much difference, right? Wrong! Turned out I was using Iray, which is not ideal for rendering certain props and scenery, such as what I used here. Thankfully, after switching to 3Delight, this rendered just fine. And I learned a few additional lessons, as well. But I'll get to those another time.

Character belongs to me, but I belong to the Person being allegorically represented.
