It could be a Dire Wolf. A bigger, more aggressive cousin of the wolf. And they have red eyes in the mythology of this comic. (see what I did there? I used big words in an attempt to seem like I know what I’m talking about, but just as likely it could be for pure aesthetics.) (Had to google that last word 🙂
I thought it would look better. Makes the canine look more like Ookami. It’s also one of the only warm saturated colors on the page (too much cold and grey in these forest night scenes).
When I was writing the reply to the post, I happened to notice your avatar icon had the red glowy eyes too. Not that I was thinking of that when I was drawing the comic. More of a great-minds-think-alike sort of thing.
Dang; Joel’s gettin’ brave!
I like the face in panel 4…and 5.
Uh oh! Poor Joel…
At least Joel didn’t hit his head on the rocks. 8|
( Does the wolf have red eyes because it stands out better, or because it’s evil? 😛 )

It definitely stands out better, and even looks more alive. 🙂
Wait… when you say Ookami are you talking about my avatar or the Ookami from that video game… er… Ookami is what I think its called?

“I see.” said the blind man to the deaf & dumb guy over a disconected telephone.
But in all seriousness I get you.
3 points for bravery. -5 for not thinking that through.
Seriously Joel. Your an aspiring mage make with the magic not with the clubbing.
