Caged Beast-AkelaTaka Contest

Full View please. The .jpeg image screwed up the coloring.
Jah. An entry for *akelataka's contest. I chose the "dramatic lighting" category.

What it's supposed to look like is her charry is in a cage, with light (ong, representing, lyke fr33dom!) shining through, tantalizingly near . (This is a first. Ookami did a pic with a relatively deeper meaning.)
But that's not what it looks like D:. I had trouble visualizing how the shadows and light would work on the wolf. Plus I did the effect in Photoshop. It's bound to look messy and amatuer-ish
It's a shame I had such a good idea and not the skills to pull it off u.u.

But the lineart I like . I'll be uploading that seperately, since I like it a lot n-n. Akela can just consider that one a fanart ;3.
