What is "Wolf Eclipse"?

"Wolf Eclipse" originally started out as a joint venter between two high school friends, both looking to start their own website away from the restrictions of other start-up and popular public galleries. This partnerships however fell a part short after the creation of the website and the settlement of a name that would combine two things both artists and friends liked. With the partnership disolved and things already in the works, Wolf Eclipse instead transformed into the personal website of Cory "Core" Belote. By some strange coincidence, the wolf icon used as a logo was later discovered to match that of a wolf's head on the family code of arms for the Belote family.

Who is Cory "Core" Belote?

Born on the lower Eastern Shore of Virginia in 1982, Cory's father soon enlisted in the United States Army, allowing the family to travel to various places around the world. At a young age his family noticed his like of drawing, which was not limited to drawing on pieces of paper, but also on some of the walls of the appartment they lived in while stationed in West Germany. Cory continued to draw and work on his skills, taking inspiration from various things and events going on around him, including his first comic entitled "My Dad's Pet Rat" which followed the fictional aventures of a rat that his father and other soldiers adopted as a pet while stationed in Somalia. As time progressed, Cory soon took on the nickname of "Core" after many people started to spell his first name as "Corey", eventually leading to them dropping the y at the end and calling him Core.

While continuing to work on his drawing skills, Core also worked on his writing skills, which left many of his teachers amazed at the stories he could create using bits of factual history and historic locations. His artwork also continued to garner praise as he was entered into art shows, often times over come by shyness when seeing his art displayed to the public. This fear was overcome eventually with the support of teachers as well as friends, leading Core to post his artwork on public art sites online as well as eventually leading to the creation of "Wolf Eclipse" on October 26th, 2003.

To date Core has worked on a number of projects; both personal and for the communities that he lives in, as well as those of others. He also has two small internet shows called "Core Issues" and "Core Draw's Arts!". In addition to his shows, Core continues to work on artwork as well as comics, bringing life to the many characters and worlds that so far exist only in his mind and limited only by his imagination.
