Description A werewolf hides among his stony friends, curiously watching the city below him.

Or something. My entry for the Werewolf Calendar.
This always happens with contests I enter. At first I wasn't going enter but then got a idea and just had to do it. And of course ended up entering it just the night before due date.
I'll admit it's not so much in the style of the Werewolf Calendar. But I really wanted to do a piece with architecture. Hey, urban werewolves are still cool. The concept I wanted to work with was a wild werewolf encountering a city for a first time(or after a long time) I figured he would be cautious and try to blend with the gargoyles of the local cathedral.
I learned a lot from this, so worth doing but so tiring. Really wish I had time to perfect it and really iron out all the loose ends but that's what you get for starting a week from due date and thinking a city view would be easy peasy.

A wonderful break-away from the usual style of the werewolf calendar.

Beautiful piece! The lighting in this is really awesome. I love the warm glow in the foreground, it really highlights the werewolf against the dark background. He has a nice tense expression too, which is great; like you said, he needs to be cautious in such a populated area, and his posture/facial expression help show that cautiousness. Good job with the architecture too -- it looks very realistic, but not so overly detailed that it distracts from the werewolf itself.

Neat, happy to see another CA person around and about. I wish I could have posted more WIPs but it was such a tight deadline. And thank you for the nice comment!

Yes, and people were pretty busy during the summer, it would be nice if they extended it a bit. But still, you're welcome
