And you all did a great job
sending us a whole host of different
wolves.
We saw wolves adapting to various
environments and thriving in them,
and it was fun to think about
the wolf, an animal that feels equal
measures familiar and alien to us,
through a variety of creative works
rooted in myths and stories.
Thank you to everyone
who participated in the challenge
with great artwork.
Then, shall we meet the winners
of the challenge?

In search of the spring forest
/ @pokapoka
In our first piece,
there’s a wolf standing on a
high cliff overlooking the ocean
in the distance.
The lone wolf appears to have
climbed up the highest peak
it can find for a good look at
its surroundings.
Instead of basking in the beautiful
scenery, the wolf could be keeping
a watchful eye over its territory
to keep its family safe.

In the next one,
it looks like spring has arrived
in the lush forest.
The wolf holding a tree branch
in its mouth is looking around as
it makes its way through the forest.
Looking at his wary eyes,
the red fruit on the branch
it’s carrying must be something
the wolf wants to eat.

...Lone Wolf, No More?... / @Bree
The Waiting Wolf / @marmenmarin
Next, the moon rising between
the clouds is shining a bright light
everywhere.
The brown wolf at the bottom of
the cliff appears to be talking to
another wolf at the top of the cliff.
Given the title, they could be
talking about forming a pack
together instead of living alone as
lone wolves.

Moving on, we have a wolf sitting on
a field of white snow in the forest.
The way the wolf is looking back
while sitting on its haunches might
suggest it’s waiting for something.
It could be waiting for its family
or its prey.
Wonder what the story is here.

Time to wake up..../ @Andreia
Encounter / @One2three
The wolf in this picture is
stretching its legs as the light
filters through the branches
and leaves.
But if you look at how dark things
are, the light might be coming from
a bright moon instead of the sun.
Now, wolves are known to be
nocturnal creatures.
Looking at the wolf's face,
which looks half-asleep, maybe it
woke up too early because of
the unusually bright moonlight.

Right next to the sleepy wolf,
we have a wolf that’s staring at
something with piercing eyes.
It’s almost out of the bushes
and ready to run, so it might be
about to pounce on its prey.
Any prey staring into that
terrifying face would completely
freeze up.

Awake / @Nasia
What if? (Wolf Challenge!)
/ @Gilikin
Next, the large moon is emerging
through the clouds to reveal itself.
The white and yellow flowers
are blooming to greet the moon,
and the wolf standing in the flower
bed seems to be happy to see
the moon as well.
Looking at the expression
on its face, it looks like the wolf
is there to enjoy the beautiful
scenery under the full moon and
flowers waking up in the moonlight.

What do we have here?
It’s a wolf wearing an apron and
stirring the bowl with a spatula.
Its eyes are trained on the cookbook,
and it seems like the wolf is
following the recipe to the letter.
Meanwhile, the table is littered
with a broken egg and flour.
Maybe the wolf saw the delicious pie
behind it, and it thought it would
be a great idea to try baking for
the first time.

(Untitled) / @Loris
In our second to last entry,
we have a deer running with all
its might through a field covered
in thick snow.
A couple of wolves are chasing after
the deer with their teeth bared,
so it seems clear the deer
is running for its dear life.
Wolves are known to form packs and
hunt using a variety of tactics.
Maybe these wolves are herding
the deer to where the rest of
the pack is for a perfect hunt.

Lost little Dog
and the protectiv Wolf / @sherlock
And finally, looking at the face
of this dog lying down in front of
the small puddle, it looks like
it’s lost.
The white wolf standing nearby
seems to be protecting the puppy
from other dangers in the forest.
Maybe the pup could be looking at
its reflection in the puddle
and dreaming about growing into
a big wolf that never gets lost
in the forest one day.
