Just a quick painting of one of my nahual werewolves. I think she just did something uncouth.

Painting werewolves is relaxing.

Love the musculature of the arms!

Ah yes, the female werewolf. Strong, yet gentle, lithe, and feminine.

Or androgynous and bloody-minded. Same thing.

I was wondering when I'd see your take on female werewolves.

There are actually a couple hiding in my gallery - they're all pretty androgynous except the redhead, and she might be a werefox or something.

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.

I gotta see how you do this. "Quick" seems inconceivable. Very nice work and great looking gory werewolf!

Wow, for a quick one it looks like very professional (for a person that is still learning how to paint like that with photoshop).

What is the meaning of Nahual?

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.
