Description After drawing Drac I kind of felt like returning to another of my characters and fleshing him out more so here we have, Wolfy. (I know, original but Victor and them dubbed him that because saying wolfman just doesn't stick very well).
I know earlier I said I wouldn't really say anything about his origins on my first image of him but I changed my mind.

Ok so he's one of Dr Moreau's experiments, so random, random plot happens that still needs to be nutted out and he is eventually befriended by Victor. We're still thinking about an overall storyline so none of that is concrete so I'm just working on character personalities/interactions and looks. 

I actually really like how he's looking, his old design was a bit standard so with this one I kind of wanted to emphasise the fact that he is just a wolf who's body was tampered with and experimented on. He has an under bite to show that his jaw has been moved and various stitches that are visible in certain areas. He also has three fingers because his forth toe was moved over and altered to become a makeshift thumb. Because of these alterations he's both awkward on all fours and standing up. His hind legs are too long and his balance is off when standing. He also suffers from various muscle pains.

I'm not entirely sure yet just how his speech pattern will be but he can talk just not very well. Something like broken sentences and forgotten syllables maybe.

I should note that my previous design had stitches up the forearms too it's just that I took them out of the image to hide his origins.

I imagine Victor sounding like Archibald Asparagus from VeggieTales.

Put together and taken apart again reminds me of Rocket the racoon. He was just a regular racoon until he was exprimented on. Except his speach is more fluent.

I kind of think of them as cusins.

Near the top right corner, he really starts looking like a lion to me... Something about the snout just feels too lion-y. It might just be the expressions or the lack of backgrounds. Or maybe it's just the ears, the way they're curved down like that. He certainly looks wolf-like when his ears are up.

Though considering lots of Moreau's Beast Folk were combinations of animals smushed together that's not entirely a bad thing.

Okay, so, if understand correctly, this is a modified animal to make it a bit more anthropomorphic, not an actual werewolf, and it has no powers whatsoever
