Very good job on the hairs! How long did that take you?

About the sig, I recommend making it less notable, hiding it in the painting somehow, like in the wolf hair.

Thank You!! This painting took about 24 hrs to complete...I wanted to make the sig real prominant in this painting cause I'm proud of what I've done. Thanks again.

And you should be very proud of your work. I personally don't know of anyone that can paint with that level of detail.

However, if your interest is to sale your art, keep the buyer in mind (granted, this may not be your intent). Even the Great Masters centuries ago would hide the sig in the painting. They were selling the image, not their name.

Geez, really? That is quite the compliment! I was considering covering the name with a grey background...what do you think? I am still trying to make a name for myself but will take your advice into serious account. The painting has room for improvment so I may just rework the background when I complete my latest project, a tattoo design. Sales of my artwork are definantly in mind! Also I am considering reworking the eyes a bit.

Well, since you are selling digital art, or prints in this case. Just scan it and make some adjustments in photoshop or other image editing program.
