It was also an experiment in the emotional expressions of my pallanoph species: Here we have (the antagonist) Tirlag at his wit's end, realizing the enormity of his losses. He has nothing left to cling to, and is cornered and weak with grief. Nharath and Adelaide, who have him at their mercy, see that he is a mad, pitiable creature, with fear and sadness in his eyes, and fury in his heart. (I promise I will try not to write him as cliched as he sounds... x_x)

I think your pallanophs are very interesting, I don't know why but their faces look partly human to me. Doesn't make any sense but somehow you've done that.
Also (random side note is random) anyone who thinks they are wolves is blind as well as illiterate.
And actually, you are definitely not wrong regarding the human resemblance. It's actually deliberate! Even though I rarely post human faces here, I'm highly influenced by our range of expression, etc. With pallanophs, I wanted something somewhat relatable to humans (eyes, brows, even lips/mouth) but on the face of something far more feral and frightening, and thus, a bit more alien.
People seem to see wolves in almost anything with a long-ish muzzle, four legs, fur, and a tail.
Ah I see, very clever.
I think it's more of the too many wolves situation. :/ Which is sad really. I also know some people who only like wolf drawings. I think it's to the point where anything even remotely resembling a wolf is labelled a wolf by any wolf lovers. I showed someone a picture of an African Wild Dog (which, as I'm sure you know, barely resemble wolves) once and they said 'Omg LOL the woof is smiling!!1!'
And on the wolf thing, you already have a comparison in your gallery which you could link: [link]
But I'd enjoy a formal comparison as well, if you actually ever do it.
Ahahaha, I do, I do! I have a couple of rough sketches of both species, and I find just how awfully wrong my wolves look... which more or less proves the point that pallanophs aren't much like wolves at all!
Hmm, when I think about it, some of the sparkle wolf designs look rather funky anatomy-wise, so it's probably not so different for some people to think Pallanophs might be canines.
