Actually, I do remember a couple here and there and I definitely remember the redhead. She inspired me to give Marion the totally, totally sane scientist red hair. I'm not really into the lore, but I try to make the link whenever I can.
The trick with speedpaintings like this is to keep just about everything "boring" in the dark and focus on what people concentrate on - the eyes, the face.
A "Nahual" is a creature from MesoAmerican folklore, a magic-user who can take the form of an animal (dog, donkey, jaguar, owl). Exact details vary by region - a nahual can be a harmless trickster, or a powerful, feared and respected magician, or a guardian spirit, or a more traditional predator. I co-opted the word for a specific subset of werewolf that's adapted to living in hot, jungle environments and is smaller, sleeker and faster than the European type.
Or androgynous and bloody-minded. Same thing.
I was wondering when I'd see your take on female werewolves.
What is the meaning of Nahual?
