We recently lost a legend.
Before Twitter and FurAffinity, there was VCL where I discovered MuscleWolf's art in the early 2000s. He was one of the first furry muscle artists I encountered and continues to be a huge influence on me two decades later. And I'm not alone, his art inspired a whole generation of muscle furs. Rest in peace, big guy.

You and me both! (In terms of his influence.)
A great picture and also a great way to honor his memory.

I remember first seeing his art 10 years ago or so. He was one of the first that made me comfortable with my tastes in art.
I just heard this from cyberklaw, and I’m really stunned. I didn’t get to know him as well as I would’ve liked to have, but I did get several commissions from him (three are posted on my page), and he was a pleasure to work with.
He will be missed a lot!

I can't say that he had an influence on me, but I am sad that he's gone. I'm worried about his mate, though.
A wonderful tribute. He will be missed. His work was one of the first I have ever seen.
Artie,
This is the most beautiful tribute I have ever seen for my husband. Right now I have tears in my eyes, and I know you are one of the greatest artists! What I want to do is get this printed, and hang it up in my bedroom over my bed. I cannot tell you how much love I have for you right now. I’ve always loved you. But this tribute is beyond fantastic!

Hugs . My condolences . MuscleWolf was a gentle person. I never forget when I laugh in that Drawning in 2012, about "The Avengers"
you really did an awesome job on making this wonderful tribute picture of MuscleWolf.
We truly lost a legend that day. But the legacy he's left will be fondly remembered by all who knew him, as well as those who only knew him through his art. Tributes like this will ensure that his influence endures and inspires a new generation of musclefurs. Well done, and may he rest in peace.
Yes by me to. The first work's i have see from at furry Artist wahrs from him.
.... He may not the first artist for me about muscle art. But he is very first artist and being an influence me to interest and like muscle. I had know his work from Shadowlord.furvect website.
Please rest in peace...
And thanks for your art both artizek and musclewolf

A wonderful tribute you made for him. He will be missed by all of us.
A great tribute to one of the best furry artists and one of the kindest people I've ever met. MuscleWolf will be sorely missed by all of us as an example of a great artist, a noble, fair, integral, true person with an infinite capacity to give himself for his Friends. All I can do is wish him to rest in peace and watch over us all.
I found his art back in the early days on Furnation... and met him personally in the late 90's when I traveled to Canada. We shared a thing for the Minotaur... truly sad to hear of his passing. My deepest condolences to Dineegla, his partner.
This an amazing tribute and lovely artwork to one of the most legendary furs in our community
I had no idea he passed away! I just saw him at MFF 2021. Oh that's heartbreaking, he was one of my first influences too. Rest in peace, Musclewolf.
I can't believe how gentle and good people dying and bad people still alive. I met MuscleWolf in 2012 and he have Energy and Strong. And I hear this sad news, 8 days after . Why happen this? I send many prayers to recover him and my prayers doesn't work . My condolences for Dineegla , his husband. He lost his First Love in his life
Amazing tribute, may he rest in peace and go to a better place now ❤️
Nice tribute, I can't say "he" will miss me because i didn't have the luck to know him in person but his art will miss me for sure.
I remember VCL too.

Amazing art, and a fantastic tribute.
He was a huge part of the community, and a huge heart for it. He inspired so many others, and helped spread the love and passion that is still seen today. Rest well.

Well that's a bummer to hear. : / Like you, he was a huge influence for my early days in the fandom. RIP big guy.
Damn that sucks. He was one of the first artists I also saw long ago. RIP :(
we will never forget his great art work, our big papa wolf
He's one of the many pioneers in the early-Internet-generation of furry art, and he's one of the few Western furry artists that influenced me into going into appreciating muscled furry art. RIP!
Dineegla already gets the definitive word on this, but I have to agree with so many others: this is absolutely a beautiful, perfect, heartwarming tribute to Musclewolf. Thank you so much for posting this.
I remember seeing his art the first time I was exploring furry art. May he rest in peace.
Aw man, I’m bummed to hear this. Brings me right back to my Furnation days. Amazing tribute, I totally recognized him the second I saw the thumbnail. Rest in power, MuscleWolf
