Flowing

A friend of mine is working on a freehand embroidery piece of two Celtic-style otters swimming through loose Celtic knots of seaweed. It's every bit as kickass as it sounds. I'm totally stealing the idea.

I went with wolves instead of otters, and a relaxed pattern of stylization that could only be described as "Celtic" by the farthest stretch of the imagination. I just tried to let the lines flow with the anatomy and markings. Now I need to figure out some kind of background.
