Last one I’m doing for the Balto set and by far my favorite, The White Wolf. The wolf has been labeled from various sources as Balto’s father, Balto’s mother (Aniu in Wolf Quest), or a spirit / visualization of Balto’s wolf heritage. I decided to work with the original version who’s design I liked the best. Erik C. Schmidt was the lead animator for the wolf and I was able to get a production drawing from that scene a few years ago. I always loved the design and the scene and, I can honestly say this character was the reason started drawing <3
