My customization of a Breyer Howling Wolf as my graphic novel protagonist Larch having been a great success, I'm trying to figure out what the most popular colour of grey wolf (Canis lupus specifically,) to decide which colour to paint another model wolf (1/9 scale Breyer Traditional) that I intend to sell. This model was computer sculpted by Animal Den Miniatures.
This is the model to be painted! I am thinking of selling her for $300 USD when she is done, to help me pay off some debts.
Here are the colours being considered:
Grey - European/Eurasian. Note the cleanly defined markings and bright colours. Larch's coat is based off of the European wolf because I personally find them prettier than North American wolves, but that's me.
Grey - North American - colours tend to be paler, with muzzier, less defined markings.
Black - this colour silvers out as the wolf ages until they become unrecognizeable with their puppyhood selves. Black wolves are only naturally found in North America and have a stronger genetic resistance against distemper.
Arctic White - this colour belongs solely to Canis lupus arctos, better known as the arctic or tundra wolf. It tends to get stained yellowish by the wolf's habitat.
