Black coats in wolves are a borrowed trait. The gene variant responsible entered wild populations from domestic dogs thousands of years ago, and it spread furthest through forested country rather than open tundra. In Yellowstone, close to half the wolves run black. This design takes that colouring and pushes it to a hard graphic extreme. Two heads, one shadow Two wolf heads fill the frame, overlapping, cut from black, gunmetal grey and white with no soft edges anywhere. The upper animal stays mostly in shadow, ears pricked, one eye catching a single highlight. The lower one carries the light: white down the muzzle, white along the jaw, grey banding across the brow. Both look out past your left shoulder rather than straight at you, and that slight turn is what gives the pair their weight. The disc and the feathers Behind them sits a wide charcoal disc edged in warm tan, a faint web pattern stretched across it and pale filigree curling in from the left. Two feathers hang at the right on beaded cords. It is a dreamcatcher read at portrait scale, with the wolves standing where the empty centre would normally be.
