I recently received an email from Darren Nevin. “I recently sculpted & cast a silicone Werewolf display bust”, Darren writes, and he wonders if I might like to share some of the photos with the people who read Werewolf News. Darren, sharing stuff like this is the reason I started Werewolf News in the first place!
Darren does his own stuff as DNA FX, but he also works for Millennium FX in the UK. He created this werewolf bust as a portfolio piece and as a way to keep his skills sharp. It took him a few months, as he was busy working on other werewolf stuff: the second series of BBC’s Being Human and… wait for it… pick-up shots for The Wolfman. Darren is a man who knows his werewolves!
If you’re in the UK you can see Darren’s werewolf bust at IMATS London, which is happening at Alexandra Palace January 30-31st 2010. If you’d like to see more of Darren’s work you can visit his MySpace page, and if you’d like to contact him regarding commissions or purchasing (yes, this werewolf bust is for sale), you can email him at DNA-FX@hotmail.co.uk.

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of John Allison’s work. His long-running comic Scary Go Round sustained me for years, and his new (and even better) comic Bad Machinery was what finally convinced me to start using Google Reader– I require an immediate alert when the newest one is posted. John also managed to eat a chocolate bar and shake my hand at the exact same time, which just goes to show the industrious spirit that helped the British to colonize so much of the world.
If you like werewolves and you like comics, John’s just started taking pre-orders for a limited-edition print that you can probably add to your list of likable things. At £10 + £2.50 international shipping, there’s no reasonable excuse to refrain from buying one, especially considering that each purchase helps support a fellow who’s been giving away amazingly entertaining material for years. Here are the details:
A2 poster (420 x 594 mm — 16,5 x 23,4 in). Giclee prints on heavy glossy 200gsm stock.

U! a.k.a. Uriel A. Duran has shared some werewolf art with me that I feel compelled to share with everyone else, on account of how much I love the concept and character designs. Meet Ginny & Clutch!
Hometown: Some lost town on Route 66. Likes: Fast cars, faster music, robbing banks and ice cream. Dis-likes: Being chased by the police, woodsmen and/or hunters. Super Powers: Ginny has an IQ of 250 and is not afraid of anything. Clutch is a werewolf —’nuff said. Personality: Ginny may seem like a shy girl, but behind that appearance there’s a really evil and wicked mind. She’s very manipulative, yet she’s with Clutch because she truly is in love with him (but won’t admit it, at least in public). Clutch on the other hand is grumpy and stubborn but once you get to know him you’ll find he’s actually very kind.
If you’d like to see these characters developed further, make sure to let Uriel know. Thanks for sharing, my friend!

Kenshiro Suzuki has created an amazing werewolf transformation that plays out over four super-detailed sculptures. Check out all four stages of “Azael – The First Lyconian” at the ever-amazing Creature Spot, and visit Kenshiro’s site for additional photos, including many in-progress shots. These pieces were crafted with Super Sculpey, mohair, acrylic inks, acrylic paint and three months of patient dedication. Beautiful work, Kenshiro!

It looks like artists like Dark Natasha, Goldenwolf, and Synnabar have joined forces to become a lycanthropic strikeforce of pure awesome… and create a werewolf-themed calendar for 2010. Check out their well-drawn and nuanced images at WerewolfCalendar.com.
The official presence of the werewolf-like Worgen as playable characters in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm has been confirmed by everyone and their mom, including Blizzard. Check out the official Cataclysm site for more details on the Worgen, including backstory, player models, screenshots and concept art. The official sites seem to be suffering periodic downtime as a result of all the interested visitors, so be gentle. Below are some locally-hosted (hi-res!) copies of the Worgen concept art, in case your refresh button isn’t working. Read more…
We’ve seen Universal promote The Wolfman with theatrical posters both awesome and dull, but this latest is anything but traditional. Legendary painter-of-monsters Basil Gogos was commissioned by Universal to paint a vibrant, fantastically retro Wolfman poster, shared with you here in all its hi-res glory courtesy of CHUD.com. You can enter to win a signed, limited-edition print through the Lunar Phases widget on the official Wolfman Facebook page. In addition to getting the scoop on this sexy poster, CHUD also has nice little interview with the artist himself. Check it out!
