That must be the most painful part of the trensformation!

It’s great art, no debate there. I do like my wereolves to at least wear pants, however. You take away the clothes and you take away too much of what was once human. The monster could just be a wild animal. There needs to remain enough humanity to really sell how a creature like this could dwell inside us all. That’s why I’ve always favored ‘wolf-men’ over ‘werewolves.’

Werewolf (were-wolf, etc.): More animal than man, full beast most often on all fours. usually resembles a mutated black bear more than any sort of canine. See An American Werewolf in London, The Howling, etc. (Sometimes the final result is a true wolf. See Wolf, etc.)

To add to the more-wolf genre:
LadyHawke with Rutger Hauer (the were-wolf), Matthew Broderick, Leo Kern, some lady and some villian.
