This is the place for discussion and voting on various aspects of werewolf life, social ideas, physical appearance, etc. Also a place to vote on how a werewolf should look.

I'm sorry. How much was that again?

Interesting...

I blew up the image so it is easier to see.

This almost looks to be a three way blend of Human/Bear/Wolf.

It is rather cool though...I've never seen this pic before.

The Bald face allows for more human-like fleshy cheeks and normal human eyebrows, and the human flesh-tone add's to that effect. The Face detail on the right seems to be a transitional phase before the final shape and look seen on the left though.

The feet are interesting, but those claws are just plain freaky. I'm not a big fan of the little elf-ears. They look more like the ears of a Deer than a Wolf, or a Human/Wolf blend.

Not what I meant. I wondered if anyone can find the same picture in google or somewhere.

I know what you meant...but I have no idea who drew this, so I wouldn't know where to look to find the full-size original, if it even exists at all on the internet.

I just noticed that the thumbnail you provided had just enough detail that it would be worth expanding to see better. That is fairly hard to make out, especially if you have a small monitor.

Do you remember where YOU got this thumbnail from?

Tricky... If you manage to find the image on Google again, try to load the site underneath the picture to identify the source of the picture. Maybe we can find out who the artist is that way, and maybe find a better version of the picture.

If you have any idea of what key word you used on google I could take a look around for it if you wanted. Just offering.

Misfit werewolf had an avatar for a while that I think might be a reasonably close match to what Morkulv is looking for...it's a picture of his character, Bullet.

I don't want the Freeborn werewolves to look like that, or like the picture Shadow Wulf posted...but I will admit that it is at least cool, and is something I wouldn't mind seeing in a different type of werewolf movie.

I see what you mean. An audience will certainly find a movie much more terrifying if you can convince the audience that what they just saw might be real, or that it could actually happen.

No argument here...

...though I am not a fan of Horror movies, so "Darker" and "Scarier" would not be the goals I would be shooting for when defining the style I would more like to see.

...but more convincingly realistic I am definately all for.


By all means...make me second guess what I believe is real.

Hmm...that's not a bad werewolf design. ^_^
Not the style I tend to prefer (I'm of the Goldenwolf camp), but I sure wouldn't mind seeing that guy in a movie. Definately better than the ww from Cursed or Van Helsing. But I do agree that it would be much better suited to a darker movie.

No...not at all. I really don't care about stuff like that anyway, because I allready know that millionaire/billionaire celebrities are eccentric, and that everything they do appears to be 100 times more dramatic than it really is. This just reinforces my standing beliefs, rather than challenging them.

...besides...$300,000 to them is like $130 to us. It's just the number of zeroes that throws you for a loop.

Agreed, personally it seems appropriate for a universe with magic than one with a more biologicaly grounded one.

Meh...I prefer Van Helsing and Cursed FAR more than this guy. While he's not the worst werewolf ever, he certainly doesn't beat those two, at least not in my book.

The Van Helsing one was very good (probably the best) but the one in Cursed seemd too shaggy to me.
