Artwork

Content advisory: nudity

Other sites hosting my artwork are listed under the Links button above; these are a sampling of images done through the years in reference to the evolving Lycanthrope storyline. It seems that illustration and right-brained thinking in general is a common trait among spiritual therianthropes, and these are my own contributions to that end.

This is an older work, dating around 1989. At that time, my character, then myself rather than the character Scott Gardener (which is not my real name), eventually moved to Alaska to retire. I revisited this drawing in 2003 and digitally remastered it, adding color and polishing up the background.

This image, also dating back to 1989, is from the 29th version of Lycanthrope. The storyline was more crude back then and included a number of contrivances created just to make a scene look impressive. In this case, I gave my character a house with a geodesic dome room upstairs, to create a dramatic setting for his first shapeshift. While it may have looked more impressive than version 70's bathroom floor, it did stretch plausibility. Shapeshifting back then was forceful enough the first time through to rip flesh. Elodea was a new character idea then and had yet to be a major contributor; he acquired lycanthropy instead from an innoculation by Cozalien spies.

Around 1992 or so, I created this drawing while watching Wagner's Ring operas marathoned over four days. This drawing was actually the second take; the first had to be scrapped after considerable work when I discovered that I could not add colored pencil to a waxy surface.

I have subsequently digitally experimented with the image, adding some visual effects and applying color correction. (Between version 50 and version 70, Elodea's fur color changed from brown to black.) This revision, also retouching some of her abdominal musculature, can be downloaded as a wallpaper.

Useful as an icon image when reduced in size, this sketch also appears on some of my other art sites, but is included here because it matches the flavor of the novel. It was created fairly recently, during an unusually dull moment during my ER job in late 2002.

A more contemporary image, this sketch is a demonstration of how a human hand would shift into a wolf's paw, showing two intermediate forms. The first is that of someone in hybrid animal form, while the second is more a show of transition and anatomical correspondance.

This sketch, while recent, is perhaps a throwback to some of my earlier works. Note the oversized eyes from reading too much Elfquest.

Another contemporary sketch, subsequently colorized and remastered using layering techniques and Photoshop's smudge tool to create the skin. This is an image of Elodea demonstrating her shapeshifting ability.

Various takes on this image appear on my DeviantArt site. Here, the background has been eliminated altogether. This is a more detailed image of Elodea in nearly human form.

A recent sketch of a lycanthrope shifting form. He is fairly new to lycanthropy and is still rather awkward in the process of the transformation. He is also still getting over the realization that he is a werewolf.

Two recent sketches of wolves, using anonymous "royalty-free" stock photos as references. The goal here is to get better at drawing wolves per se, and therefore make my werewolf heads look better.
