Description Yey.
This was inspired by the song "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon. (Think I spelled it right ._." )
It's an oldie that no one's ever heard of, but I still love it <3. Of course, he's now dead... -sigh-

I never listen to the song very closely, so this picture was based solely on the idea of an English werewolf. And of course, English=tea, thus a werewolf sipping tea .
This was doodled in some free time on the 17th (I can't rember exactly what period). Then in Art on the 18th, I got done early, and finished it.
Looks better in real life, but the scan job isn't horrible, so I guess that's sumthin'....

Overall it's cute, but there's a few issues.
A)He's drinking out of the top of his teacup.
B)who knows how messed up his suit is. I just made it up as I went along
C)the hand holding the plate burns my ayes
D)I can't do crossed werewolf legs
E)That arm e___e/the sleeve wrinkles
F)etc.

And yes, that be my writing. Purposely messy, mind you. I was going for a certain look . And that's also my real signature, not that you can read it. (If you can guess my last name, you get a cookie )
Why not the normal "Ookami", you ask? Because I had an audience, and did not feel like explaining why I have an alias >.>

And he has feathers in his hat because feathers are cool.

"Werewolves of London" (c) Warren Zevon or whoever it is that owns it these days.
Pic (c) me.

Love to Jackie, who likes the song as well

considering this particular piece is abut 7 years old, I would hope I've drawn better
But I'm glad it still speaks to you!

Hey! Don't feel bad buddy! I might be a novice but I've been drawing since I was six and now that I'm sixteen I realize that there are just some things we can't draw! It's a cuss of a lot better than what I can do!
I love it and for the cuteness and good old Englishness I will put it in my favorites!
Tis goot, Dunca!

You know, I was listening to this song, and this general image poppeed into my head, and I had to check your gallery to see if you'd actually drawn it, or if I was imagining things...

How cute! I love british men, especially when they're werewolves! The crossed legs look fine, and although I assume he's supposed to be sipping the tea, since he's a wolf, to me it just looks like he's lapping it up with his tongue. ^^ So no worries! Very cute idea!

The idea behind this drawing is wonderful, and I <3 the paws on your werewolf. Oh, and the shading makes it all the better!

By the way, is your last name Wana, Wania, or Wavia?
-stares hard at writing, 'cause she wants a cookie- If those aren't close tell me. If they are..I just might keep guessing. No, I won't. I'm not that cruel--I think.

akireru In reply to moonlit-rose [2006-01-24 23:46:55 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!

No, none are right, althought Wana is probably the closest (which is still not very o_o")

moonlit-rose In reply to akireru [2006-01-24 23:51:28 +0000 UTC]

Welcome! -^_^-

Wana? Really..hmm. And my guest is your signiture is hard to read because either you write it too fast, or smush it too close together, so you can't distinguish the letters--or maybe both!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

akireru In reply to moonlit-rose [2006-01-24 23:55:40 +0000 UTC]

Mostly I write too fast. In cursive, the letters of my name pretty much look all the same when written fast or messily. And my sugnature is (purposely) both.

moonlit-rose In reply to akireru [2006-01-25 01:11:51 +0000 UTC]

Hehe. Me too. People don't know what my sigature says, however I'm told it looks cool!

moonlit-rose In reply to akireru [2006-01-25 22:21:33 +0000 UTC]

I see. Well I went through a whole peice of paper, trying to find one I liked. See I grabbed a piece of lined paper and on every line I wrote my name, each different. Then I picked one. This way takes a while, though.

akireru In reply to moonlit-rose [2006-01-25 22:28:03 +0000 UTC]

Well, My way is really just my fast cursive
And it doesn't bother me enough to take up a page writing my name different ways .
Besides, it's a habit now x-x

moonlit-rose In reply to akireru [2006-01-28 18:14:57 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I see. Yeah I have a fast cursive (everyone hates it 'cause they can't read it, and ask me why I still write in it) and a slower, more erm..legible one.

moonlit-rose In reply to akireru [2006-01-30 21:05:38 +0000 UTC]

Really? I use cursive all the time! It's waaaaayyy faster..for me anyway. My printing sorta looks awkward, so yeah..

akireru In reply to moonlit-rose [2006-02-01 01:21:32 +0000 UTC]

I just never got in the habit of cursive. Of course, if you saw my really fast writing, it alomst looks half-cursive cause my letters tend to connect xD;

moonlit-rose In reply to akireru [2006-02-02 20:59:07 +0000 UTC]

My fast printing does the same thing! And the rushed cursive--well, let's just say it's er..VERY cursive.

My dad got me a kit or whatnot on it a few years ago, but the alphabets they gave you looked so dull, I had no desire to try them D:

Oh. Maybe there's some cool one online oyu could print out and test.. That's what I'd do anyway. I wish I had a set.. -daydreams of writing all funky-

akireru In reply to moonlit-rose [2006-02-09 23:46:31 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I could, but I lost the kit
When I got it, I wasn't an internet junkie, so that didn't occur to me.

Oh, I see. That's too bad. Maybe now's the time to go out and get a nice set. ^^ I think I might sometime--and post my soon-to-be-lovely writing on here for people to view.

Hee hee! Such creativity in this picture! I love the expression on this werewolf's face.

He's drinking the top of his cup? I didn't really notice that. And, dude, you draw better crossed legs than I ever can. We had a model in my CCAD class yesterday and MY GOD was it hard.

Wierd. I always have the mental image that English people drink tea, too. But I'm always slapped with the mental image of the Monty Python troupe and insane kings who want to take over the world ("It is the empire where the sun never sets..." )

akireru In reply to Rexy-Jade [2005-10-23 15:59:01 +0000 UTC]

well, human crossed legs aren't quite as hard as werewolf legs, let me tell you .__.
At least you had a model. I (obviously) had no such luck .

I never saw Monty Python ._. -needs to be shot-
