Illustration (with background!) for the book I'm writing. (without background: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13740068/ )
The story is about the twin brothers, Jimmy and Billie who is born with lycanthropy. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11304891/
Their father is one too, but can't turn into what they call a Therian (Beast-form in my story, because the Greek word theríon means "wild animal" or "beast") he can only turn into a more humanoid form of a Lycan (less hairy and not bigger than their human form.) http://h-m-m.deviantart.com/art/Moo.....16719&qo=2
A werewolf can't turn by their own will, but a shape-shifter Lycan can. In my story, they can also turn into a 'feral' form which is called Waer ( Wær ) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11300824/
In the story being, able to shapeshift into those forms is very rare. They have an evil uncle that murdered their mother when they were toddlers..he's also got the lycan genes and just like his brother can't shapeshift like the twins. So...it's him Jimmy is protecting the girl Alex from in this picture. She's Jimmy girlfriend.
The twin's 'grandfather' is a gypsy king. (He took care of the twins father when he was young after his parents died. So the twins are gypsies on their father's and real grandfather's side as well.) That's why there are caravan's in the background, as the scene in the book unfolds when they're visiting their grandfather and grandmother and their romani family.

Sketched it first on paper, took a photo of it then improved the shapes and such, drew new lines, and then coloured it in Photoshop. Background is usually a pain in the butt for me, but this one was fun working on :) (Don't know yet, but will probably, but not likely, add something more to the background if I feel like it.) xD
Used my Wacom Intuos5 (Oh, I do love it! It's great! <3 )

I like my design I have for werewolves/lycans which have more human/primate like features. So this fella would walk similar to a gorilla when it's down on all four.
And its roar is like one of a gorilla's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miX......be&t=1m4s When it howls, it's deeper than that of a wolf, similar to a territorial roar of a lion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U6prrWmneQ

Since humans and apes are related I liked the idea to make them more gorilla-ish and just a hint of wolf.
But still making them a werewolf which is not too human-like or not just a wolf on two legs.
