Werewolf Wednesday speedpaint, a little early. I wanted to use colors besides gray/blue/green for a change, and also to paint a werewolf in sunlight as opposed to moonlight.
Maybe she's a were-fox, maybe just a ginger werewolf. Fun fact: in the olden days, red hair was considered a sure sign someone was a witch or werewolf (there wasn't a lot of distinction back then, since witches could turn into wolves and werewolves got that way by selling their soul to Satan). Several folkloric werewolves are specifically described as being reddish-colored, but you hard ever see that in movies. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Ginger in "Ginger Snaps", but as her lycanthropy progresses hair hair grows in white, so I don't know if she counts.

I wonder how much that had to do with the prevalence of paganism in Ireland where red hair was more common. The Church had a way of convincing folks something was evil because they said so, after all, and they didn't want any competing religions taking away their power. I have read much less of the folklore and history than I'd like so this may be complete bunk, but it's a thought.
Well, I feel you did a magnificent job in this image of depicting the "In-between" stage of a vulpuline or lycantrophic transformation. I expect her withing the next few seconds to develop her muzzle and then turn to the viewer with hungry, predatory eyes. I noticed that the fur patterns resemble clothing in a way as well. To me it's a pretty well skilled or adaptive shape-shifter that can include their garments into their finished, animal form. Now that you mention it, I can't think of any werewolves with Alburn fur and hair either.
