Description Here is my big boy Nash all finished up.  I have to say the adventure of turning a ventral cut wolf into a mount was a huge pain in the rear... but exciting at the same time.  I discovered some fur markings that I didn't know he had (like a big white star on his chest!) and I appreciate him more because of all the work I went through (not to mention his totally not turned lips, nose, or eyelids).

Anywho... I'm obsessed with this guy now.  Like so much love, I can't even tell you.

And part of the way through, I discovered with his dark fur and green eyes, he is oddly reminiscent to Shaggydog.  Didn't even realize I was keeping with my GoT theme

First off, welcome to DA! Currently my commissions are closed as I do not have free time to work on any mounts however there are some other taxidermists on this site that are available to commission.  The only issue is I see you are from Brazil, and most of the taxidermists here in the US (including myself) regretfully do not have an export license to send these outside of the US. I wish I could be of more help!

You really did a great job on this guy! He looks fantastic!  In this picture he looks like he's about to get up and walk away from the camera lol

Thank you.  I got this guy from Zhon earlier this year. I don't know if you saw when she originally posted him way back when... actually I'm just noticing that was about 2.5 years ago! www.deviantart.com/art/Very-Sp…

And yes I agree entirely! Ghost is my favorite so I am glad he is the most popular, but I would definitely enjoy seeing the others from time to time.  It's a shame they haven't come back as more visible roles yet.

THANK YOU!!!
I'm typically not fond of these green eyes on black wolves but he just NEEDED them! And I couldn't be happier!
And YES! Riddick will need a friend some day and you know where to find me

We thought about green for Riddick but it just didn't happen. It looks amazing! Seriously! I'm in awe!
Yes! He already does! Riddick isn't mine, he's my boyfriend's, so I don't get to say I get first rights so I need my own wolfy!

AlmostAustralian In reply to InNaturesImage [2014-08-05 22:43:55 +0000 UTC]

Well I think Riddick's eyes suit him perfectly! And funny you'd say
that because I had considered tiger eyes for Nash XD

And even more reason for you to need your own wolfy so you have
one that you can call all yours!!

I'm glad you think so! They did end up working out for him and I thought they wouldn't!
Oh gosh! Well I love the green!

Seriously! You don't even know! Haha.

If you don't mind me asking where did you get the eyes ? <3

LOVELY wolf btw he is a beauty! I'm thinking about making my 
pelt into a mount I don't think its manageable but it's worth a 
shot!

These are Tohickon leopard eyes
And thank you!

Definitely worth a shot if you're up for the challenge.  That's how I started, with a personal pelt and the drive to make it happen! Best of luck and there are plenty of us around to help out if you hit a snag!

Thanks so much ! 
Yeah hes pretty okay but with a little cuts and what not. 
Any idea where to start? ;w;

Little cuts can be sewn up easily.  If his hide is mountable and in good shape, you shouldn't have many troubles.  I highly recommend wandering over to taxidermy.net and doing a little searching.  They have TONS of helpful tutorials showing step by step processes.  It was incredibly helpful when I started taxidermy, and I still spend large amounts of time each week exploring and learning new things.
