[English]THE NEW VERSION:
"Fenrir - You will never be alone", shows me in my dragon form, my fiance in his raven form and Fenrir (called Fenris too), the mythological wolf.
In many legends and stories Fenrir is described as a powerful and monstrous wolf. Even the gods began to fear his growing power and chained him with a magical ribbon, that Fenrir couldn't tear himself, on a mountain. Where, that is only known by few.
He had to stay there many thousands of years, because they thought he was vicious.
But was he really bad? Or did the gods just fear his imposing appearance and believed Fenrir would use his powers to harm them?
In this image Fenrir is free, released from his chains. Even if he is a demigod, there is still a wolf in him after all, yearning to enjoy life.
And finally, he is allowed to do so...

[German]DIE NEUE VERSION:
"Fenrir - You will never be alone", zu deutsch: "Fenrir - Du wirst nie mehr allein sein" zeigt mich in meiner Drachengestalt, meinen Verlobten in seiner Rabengestalt und Fenrir (auch Fenris genannt), den mythologischen Wolf.
In vielen Sagen und Geschichten wird Fenrir als mächtiger und monströser Wolf beschrieben. Selbst die Götter begannen sich vor seiner wachsenden Kraft zu fürchten und ketteten ihn mit einem magischen Band, das Fenrir selbst nicht zerreißen konnte, an einem Berg. Wo, das wissen nur die wenigsten.
Viele Jahrtausende sollte er dort verweilen, weil man ihn für schrecklich hielt.
Doch war er wirklich böse? Oder fürchteten sich die Götter bloß vor seiner imposanten Erscheinung und glaubten, Fenrir würde seine Kräfte dazu nutzen um ihnen zu schaden?
In diesem Bild ist Fenrir frei, erlöst von seinen Ketten. Auch wenn er ein Halbgott ist, so steckt doch ein Wolf in ihm, der sich danach sehnt das Leben zu genießen.
Und das soll er nun endlich dürfen...

My major malfunction with this one is the wolf's face. The nose doesn't appear to be sticking out, instead it looks like it only extends a little out of the face and the bridge of the nose seems to be sloping at a 30 degree off vertical slope. Also the fur around the wolf's head appears as if it is closer to the viewer than the darker fur surrounding it because of the way it is shaded.
A smaller problem I have is that the sky looks just a little bit too bright. I think darkening the shade or adding more blue and having less yellow would help the aurora stand out more.
Also, I must note that the raven appears to be a weak point in the picture since it has minimal detail, whereas on the Dragon and Wolf you can see each and every hair. It makes it's clay-like shading stand out in a bad way.
The last thing that I must note is that the horns appear to have fur with the way you shaded it. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not.
I apologize if I seem to be too hard on it. I am by no means saying that this is not a beautiful and amazing piece. I just feel that the best artists need more harsh critiques the most, since most people who see the great artist's work are afraid to say anything more than mindless praise(or they are incapable of it)
I hope this helps, and I thank you for reading this intimidating wall of text.
