Who likes werewolves? You do!

You may have seen one or two of these pics floating around the web. They're older designs from a screenplay I wrote called "Camp Lycanthrope" a finalist in last year's PAGE screenwriting awards. ( Out of about 5,000 scripts ) Still trying to find that elusive studio backer.

I've been told I have a "Bluthy" style. I guess so...though I like to think it's an amalgum of styles they taught at CalArts. Oh well.

I've been told I have a "Bluthy" style.

Really? )))) I dont think so!
But I like the last one.

Wow I'm really loving that top image! The characters are really really cute and I love the little things like the little crease in the ear. Gorgeous eyes are well :)

[jeremyhopkins]

Yeah I would say its more of an amalgamation of different popular styles as well. Though I'm not a werewolf fan, you've got some cool drawings and it would make for a different idea than what's being made today. Congrats on making it to the finals and good luck getting your project off the ground!

[AnimatorX]

It's different, that's for sure. Definitely a hard sell, but no one's ever done an animated werewolf movie...at least in which they're the good guys. Maybe this could be the first.

LOVE the flowy lines.

[AnimatorX]

I have flowy lines? Thank you^_^ I'm a board guy and normally I don't design characters. But I try to make a "clean" character.

nice resume btw. I noticed you're proficient in Maya and zBrush. i've been using those for a few years myself.

...I really like the face in that werewolf!
great job for the pose as well!.... Yeah I definetely remember seing pictures and reading about this project a while ago...good luck in finding a studio backing up your project, the important thing is taking that first step after all.

The face of the werewolf is beautiful but something about that doublejointed looking wrist bothers me. I know it's a werewolf but for all intents and purposes it looks like a wolf in the first pic.

But I digress. I'm being nitpicky! It's a beautiful design and I hope it becomes wildly successful as I love animals!

We'll see. Werewolves seem to be making a comeback after years of noting but vampire films. I've always thought of werewolves as "good guys" despite a history of being portrayed as mindless killers. With this project I wanted to make werewolves who were CHARACTERS, with distinct personalities and backstories. My script is good, but it's a tough sell. Even worse, you can't pitch an animated film that features werewolves or talking animals without some studio executive asking "This isn't some kind of FURRY film, IS IT?"

Some of you know what I'm talking about :}

[CanAur]

This isn't some kind of FURRY film, IS IT?"

I never say "furry" about my characters. "Anthro" is more correct.

I never say "furry" about my characters. "Anthro" is more correct.

Furry describes a fan group.
Is a Star Trek movie a "Trekkie" film? No, but you can bet that every trekkie in the world went to see it. And you can imagine that a movie designed as fan-service to 'trekkies' would be just as terrible as a movie designed as fan-service for 'furries'! Doesn't make a talking-animal movie bad. ;)

Just remember when anyone "in charge" mentions a fan group (even if you consider yourself that kind of fan), they have a picture in their mind of the filthiest, sweatiest, fattest, most-fanatically inept and perverse person who ever liked your content. :D
(Like, say, 300-pound Klingon cross-dressers who write themselves into erotic Star Trek fan-fiction, and do unmentionable things at sci-fi cons)

You can call it whatever you like. The furry fandom is a very much looked down upon fandom because it is so often sexually explicit to the point of VERY VERY VERY VERY WRONG. Anyone who wants to deny this, I'll be happy to prove you wrong.

All I'm saying is that because I actually had two different movie executives ask me this question. I laughed and said "No, no, there's nothing of that sort in the story." I was, of course, referring to anything sexual in nature, because I knew right away, that was what the execs were inferring.

One other thing. I would never refer to any film I wrote as "furry" OR "anthro" as those are words made up and used by furries. I prefer "cartoon". Furries also like to refer to any animated film with talking animals as "furry" films.

They aren't.

[BrioCyrain]

Those werewolves seem very clean, way out of my league.

[AnimatorX]

Thanks Brio. Kind words.

[greybrother]

Next time anyone asks you that question about your work, ask them what they mean by "furry". Then, if and when anything untoward is mentioned, you can easily say "What!? Oh, eww, no. Nothing like that."

Sorry for the thread necro.

[andrew sharp]

I sure would like to see your drawings they no longer show, Wow you went to Cal Arts that must have been alot of work:)
