Werewolf Head

A much better werewolf head. This is more of what I had in mind.

Wolf-Man

My werewolf is based on the more traditional werewolves that appeared in films such as:


Werewolf of London (1935)

The Wolf-Man (1941)

The Curse of the Werewolf (1961)

I have always preferred this style to the more wolf-like and it is simply because you still see the human in the face. Modern werewolves are too monstrous, trying to be tough and bullish. 

To me they just stop being scary. Above are examples from Van Helsing (2004. They just become a dragon for the hero to slay, instead of a supernatural transformation.

The original design is better because I can believe that this was once a human. Where in the werewolf mythos, does it say you become a huge monster. It doesn't, your body merely turns animalistic and that is why I prefer it. Plus I find seeing the human's eyes through the make-up sad and therefore more frightening. So there we are... my lecture on werewolves.

Again I find the feet gross, the way they are suspended like that.

Vampire Wolf

As mentioned before, Dracula can shape-shift into a wolf. Well I decided to design it so that it is a mix of wolf and bat. I think this gives it a demon dog look, much like the one in An American Werewolf in London.

The head is obviously based on a bat, but also the tail, which on a bat is membrane like, but on this design that would be useless. So I morphed that with a wolf's tail and VOILA! The bottom image is just to show that this is a flat faced wolf, still keeping the once human element and it is actually how I prefer my werewolves, but we'll move on to that later. The front legs, i think are out of proportion, but hopefully you get the idea. I think I wanted an Alpha-Male vibe to it, since it is Dracula.

It actually looks like Panthro!
