Artist's Comments

One of my Escilian chars. I wanted to do something a bit different for the Escilians werewolves, ie: no wolves, no gothic angst, no running around in the woods eating people and being cunning pricks. I kind of like the idea of an easy-going city werewoofer. Since hunting is a traditional sport in Escily, I ended up going with the idea that werewolves there tend to be very urban and have evolved to take the shape of different sight and scent hounds rather than wolves. Dogs also attract a lot less notice than wolves do, especially in the city.

I repeat, hounds. Not Lhasa Apsos.

I can think of one person who might appreciate how bad his name is, boohaha.

i'm sorry, but everytime i see any of you're sketches, i get so hung up on trying to figure out your little notes. Not so much what they say, just...the notes themselves.

Did you really make up a writing system? or is this based on another alphabet you know? I'm totally intrigued by the whole thing, i don't mean to be invasive or anything.

other wise, if not Lhasa Apsos, how about Poodles? They are one of the oldest breeds of german water retriever AND you can give them dreds. XD

Ahhhh wolfhound, he's terribly cute. It makes me think of Pterry's notion that werewolves are just another kind of dog, since wolf+human = dog anyway.
:iconbatchix:
It reminds me of a german wirehair. They're HUGE and eat cats, which saddens me, but they're extremely intelligent and the two I've known were just the nicest dogs.
:iconveshy:
oh he's such a CUTIE <3 XD I love that 'bent nose' look with the wolfhound, it's got such character :D also, flyaway hair <3 I like the dog+man profile, hee hee XD Warren Chaney? aw shit, I'm clueless XD
:iconboum:
For some reason, he looks English. :B

You can give poodles dreds? Holy cow, suddenly they became a lot more awesome in my eyes... XD

And haha, yeah, when I was 12 or so I invented that code. It's based on an existing alphabet, but not one very commonly used. I love writing notes in it; it's become a force of habit now. Very handy too!
:iconslimmercat:
Wow. I've always wondered about that. That's really neat that you can do that! I love your style, and this lad is absolutely adorable. I especially like the flyaway look of his hair, like he tried to comb it back on a windy day. <3 Good work here, I always enjoy seeing your sketches!
