Description A commission for ~Feros 's brother.

A black werewolf, as he asked for. I really like how it came out...I used the werewolves from Van Helsing as a reference, especially with the head and ears. I tried to imitate ~ thefelinecanine with rendering the fur.

His print will obviously be bigger, and without the big honkin' watermark in the middle.

I hope he likes it.

Don't steal. Or I'll hunt you down and crunch your skull in my jaws.

EDIT:
~raccoonlady : *does a type of dance* Why does JPEG compression suck so muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch
~instantphoenix : XDDD
~instantphoenix : XDDD Karen... why are you dancing
~raccoonlady : *a really bitter evil satanic dance to the compression gods*
~instantphoenix : XDDD

note to ~Feros and Joe, the print won't look this pixelated...blame the JPEG compression.

well you um...made some reference to the werewolf having a..erm...groin area...something no movie werewolf Ive ever sen have...so congrats I guess... Im also not happy with you for calling the movie corny, it was not corny! you want corny? four letters, ROTK. thank you.



did you notice that the Van Helsing one actually looked like Hugh Jackman? XD

The mouth and muzzle look really weird to me o__O So does [his] left arm/hands. They just look... off. The pelvis area ends odd, too O__o It looks like a square or something coming off of him.
I also can't tell his that's his chest or back ~.~;; I'm saying chest because of the shoulder, but you really can't tell.
The way he's standing would be murder on his knees and legs... His knees would be sand after one day...or half hour (ouch). I think the use of highlights and shadows could have been better (specially where the moon is at, the shadows would be different in real life).
I think the marks on the tree takes away from the picture... :/ I think it might have looked better with no highlights/all black, or the correct highlighting.
Okay, enough of constructive crap. I'm feeling horrible today, and I'm very blunt >__> Sorry if you now hate me
I do like the mane, and how you did the fur. I hate doing fur. I don't have much patience for computer fur. None at all, actually. So I respect you and your patience.
I hope you appreciated all my negative crap (in some way...). I know I like to get SOME crap about what I do. It helps in improving.... but since I don't post my shit anywhere anymore, I dun care anymore *mumbles something about drawing even less now than he already did*
...I still you... *blinks*

The most helpful comment I've got on this so far! I'll keep it in mind next time, since on this one I just wanted to get a feel for rendering the fur. In the original sketch (in pen on lined paper, eeek! bad voodoo there), I kinda just stopped after the hips, so I just second guessed it when CGing. He's not supposed to be standing anyways, I was going for the kinda crouching look, I guess.

As for the muzzle, I knew that the bottom jaw looked whacked...just too lazy to fix it. >.>; And too lazy to mention it in the description coz I didn't want to clutter it (shoot me, just shoot me xD).

Left arm, yes...too skinny, and it magically bends! *gasp* XD Once again, lazy. >.>; Originally, I had some gradients to hide that, and the whacked legs, but I settled for some half-assed mist. *arrrrgh the secret is revealed XD;*

It's OK if you didn't bother to read all that XD

And yes, I did appreciate this! I'm very thankful for criticism of the constructive variety. X3 I'll try and be more careful next time when drawing the original sketch, and try not to be so lazy when doing half-arsed backgrounds. I you too >3

It's quite simple to do this fur, actually...if you go to ~thefelinecanine 's main page, and click on her website, there's a simple little tutorial on it that makes things much easier than guessing! X3 It's just tedious...but looks good. :3
