Wolf Moon Process: Step by Step Gif.

Edit: the animation is a bit quirky in chrome but works fine in internet explorer.. I'm not sure why. It's on repeat so sorry if it stops after it shows once.

This isn't the way I do all my works, but I figured I'd show a step by step for all of your amusement.

A lot of the beginning stages I was trying to get a feel for what I was up to between the wolf and landscape.
You can see half way through the wolf I change my fur completely. That was when I had decided to look up a fur tutorial. Here's the link to 'Fur Tutorial by Tatchit' in which I used.
The rest I kind of just winged until the finale' part with the 3D effect and blur- which only works in some pieces without ruining it; and this one was a success.
The point of this is to show I'm certainly not perfect and I'm always trying to better my work. Thanks for watching!
