what I originally typed up:

I discussed werewolves with ~Jarahamee and I decided to try to design a very fuglyass werewolf that's basically the opposite of most werewolf tropes: Instead of a bipedal-ish body shape it's exclusively quadrupedal and also, instead of having a wolfish head, it's got a mostly human-like head that's... grotesquely modified.

I could see why the poor bastard's so pissed, it's in constant pain. These guys tend to be short-lived, whether it's infections doing them in or getting killed by frightened humans.

The top sketch is the initial concept but what I'm really happy with is the bottom one since it solidifies the canine silhouette. It may look like a wolf at a quick glimpse in the dark, but it isn't.
