A friend of mine recently pointed out the new Wolf Man. I've never really liked Wolf Men as they either looked like someone with overenthusiastic facial hair or overenthusiastic facial hair on rubbery prosthetics. This one I thought was the best yet, but it still looked more gorilla than wolf, I thought. Something about the thick tuft of hair atop the cranium and the naked wrinkly eyebrows ... He challenged me to design my take on a wolf man, so I thought, well, what makes a wolf look like a wolf? The snout, of course, but also the way the fur sticks out from the cheeks and the triangular ears that make a very distinctive silhouette. The long snout you can't really do well with prosthetics but there's no reason not to stick on some more lupine ears and mold the face shape with the fur, so I drew this in response:


I don't know how well it would actually work as makeup, but I hope it at least says 'wolf.'

Wut @ photos. Reminds me of Big Wolf on Campus. You know, the cheap, Canadian show on YTV?

I never saw it but it was always on the TV listings. I think Wolf Man media is just ... stuck. The first ones were limited by small budgets and what was possible at the time; now everything is trying to pay tribute to them.

Not that the ghastly werewolf in HP3 is my idea of getting unstuck, but I guess that doesn't really count as a Wolf Man.

The original Wolf Man designers would have killed for the sort of design technology we have today. Not taking advantage is just rude!

Here's a picture of the dude as a wolf (http://www.bigwolfoncampus.org/multimedia/image.php?ID=1384&includeCharacters[]=2).

Oh God, Lupin, wtf, wtf.

LOL! Still doesn't beat Oz's werewolf suit in Buffy... Tried to find a clip. Failed. Basically imagine someone in grey furry one-piece PJs trying to run on all fours.

That is some cheap, cheap makeup.

Despite this, it was an entirely entertaining TV show!

I think they showed it on ITV during the day. Never watched it, anyway.
