“Howl of the Werewolf” by Martin McKenna
“Evening Mr Werewolf” by Tandemonium

This werewolf by Tandemonium looks as though we’ve caught him in the middle of stalking someone– perhaps a buxom hiker? His short muzzle and large mane are a nice contrast to the long, lean creatures one usually finds in werewolf art. The great colours and highlights really bring out the fur texture too. Nice work! Look for more awesome werewolf art by Tandemonium in future instalments of Weekly Werewolf Art.

Werewolf Painting up for UK Art Award
A painting featuring a werewolf is in the running for the John Moores Contemporary Painting Prize. Woman Surprised By Werewolf, a painting by Stuart Pearson Wright, is one of 40 paintings vying for the first prize of £25,000. As reported by guardian.co.uk, ArtDaily.org and Times Online, the painting was inspired by An American Werewolf in London. All 40 paintings will be exhibited at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool between September 20th and January 4th, and the winners will be announced the first day of the exhibition.
Preliminary sketches (NSFW warning for artistic nudity) for Woman Surprised By Werewolf can be found on Wright’s site.
Lycanthrope Research Case Revisited
If you’re a fan of werewolf special effects, you’re probably familiar with Alex CF’s super-detailed lycanthrope research case– I mentioned it back in April, and it’s still pretty much the coolest piece of three-dimensional art I’ve seen. Apparently a lot of other people dug it too, because he’s made another one.
Visit Alex’s site for more pictures, and for an excellent (and lengthy) video tour of the kit’s components. This man is all about detail.

Ninja Gaiden II Lycanthope Pictures
Ninja Gaiden II, the sequel to 2004’s Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox, contains werewolves. Lots of them. In fact, one might infer from the available screenshots that the game’s main activity consists of decapitating lycanthropes as flamboyantly as possible, with requisite Monty Pythonesque gouts of blood. Yet despite their disposable nature, the lycanthropes in Ninja Gaiden II seem to have a great deal of care and attention to detail in their design. Here are two particularly noteworthy images from GameSpy and IGN.

19th Century Lycanthrope Research Case
This isn’t exactly news, considering it’s from last year, but it’s worth sharing because it’s quite impressive, and because this has been a slow week for news. (more…)
