PLACE YOUR BETS, LADIES AND GENTS!!! WHO WILL WIN? (see, Dracologist? This was what I was talking about xD)

A bit of digital painting practice, that started out as a ballpoint sketch on paper.
A few years back, my cousins let me keep an "encyclopedia" on cryptids that I always thought was great: the drawings, the writing (even if it was in spanish), it all felt like a good catalogue of cryptids, in the fom of a "field journal" of sorts. In it, the section on Lycanthropes presents the monster as more of a pseudo-science cryptid, rather than a supernatural one, and the illustrations are more of a combination of canine features on a large ape-like creature (gorilla).
That sparked my interest, when tackling mythology and crytids in fiction, so since then I've been distinguishing lycanthropes (wolfmen) from werewolves, by making the former more of "what if this was some lifeform that evolved to become more humanoid", and the latter as more of a byproduct of supernatural phenomena, and therefore, more of "a man in the skin of a wolf" sort of thing.

The wolfman here could use a bit more work in terms of design, but I think I make the distinction well enough. What do you guys think?
