Looks great, if a bit frightening! I just heard a story from a friend about a grizzly tearing their shack's wall out when they were on a photo-safari in Alaska... so yeah. The moon and shadow on the radio tower is a great touch.
Sweet stuff Bud! I do agree with @David RE refinements on the bear > I got a panther straight off, probbaly due to the black / the ears...but I'm sure you can easily clarify it with some small modifications.
@Daryl - Of course man, no problem. I can send it to you, just throw me your email. I haven't got a clue where I found it actually. Just something I had in a stock folder, collecting dust.
@David Cran - I'm coming for you, man. And your entire clientele! Muhahaha...
@David@TJ@fabio & @Michael - Hey, thanks so much for the feedback guys! I definitely agree it needs something just a little bit more to give it those true characteristics of a bear. Been battling it a lot, since I usually draw animals more cartoon-ish and I find that easier. But easy is boring and I wanted this to have a more mature feel, so it had to have a more realistic touch. I've tried out many different highlights, but feel like it gets too cluttered for a logo. But I'll keep at it. I'm sure it only needs a little tiny whiny thing somewhere to "click".
@Patrick - For sure! Thanks bud. I actually moved the nose down since you last saw it. So it doesn't look like a raccoon anymore, haha.
@Joseph - Thanks man. I hope it doesn't come off as too aggressive tho. Bears can look intimidating, as they are, ha. Wanted to just illustrate a regular big ol' bear strolling through the woods, with a bit of a mystic look in his/her eyes.
@David Wilder - Thanks. Yeah, that would be a blast to work on, for sure!
I disagree about the bear needing much refinement. I think the claws could use some slight tweaking but i think that it feels like a strong bear and fits very nicely within the logo. great job!

Logo suggestion for GSTV.
They wanted something Powerful, Bold, Courageous and Spiritual.
So I suggested a bear. They liked that idea.
Also, they're located in Canada, so it was fitting for that reason too.

I like the concept, but the actual bear part of the piece would definitely need some refinement if this goes forward. Which, hopefully, it does.

The bear could have a little more detail, just to stand out more easily. Looks rad though.

Wow. Should be interesting to see how they incorporate that into an on-air logo and animation.
