I was just browsing Tim's gallery and his badass "anti-Twilight werewolf" [link] reminded me of these werewolf sketches I did WAY back, probably around 2001 or so. I was trying to emphasize the shape-changing aspects of the creatures, make them truly polymorphic monsters, almost like the alien from The Thing. I envisioned the final transformation being a wolf-like form that's fluid and malleable, constantly flowing and changing. Kind of a "Lovecraftian" take on werewolves, I guess, though I was almost certainly influenced by Barlowe's demons as well. This concept was partially inspired by Clive Barker's short story "Twilight at the Towers"--probably my favorite werewolf story of all time--and also by the Iced Earth song "Wolf" from the Horror Show album.
