Most of us know about werewolves, werebears (diablo fanatics like me) and wererabbits.

Now make a sprite of any werecreature you can imagine (land, sea or air), or do one of the ones mentioned above.

Restrictions:
no more than 32 colours
size: 150x150 (upper limit)

hope the topic is alright, and atleast one person enters.Ã,  ;D

edit: sorry if it wasnt clear.

You've heard of werewolves and werebears and even wererabbits, but here in Africa we have werelions. We live in constant fear. They appear during african sunsets.

150x150, 13 colours
drawn originally entirely by me, deal with it.   ;D

I'm not sure if I understand the topic correctly. To me, a werewolf is a person that changes into a (normal) wolf from time to time. So, unless I draw the sprite during the actual shape-shifting (something that should probably done with animation rather than a static sprite), it would simply look like an ordinary human or an ordinary animal. Or are we supposed to draw anthropomorphic animals? And if that is the case, is there a distincition between "werecreatures" and "furries" I should be aware of?
I look just like Bobbin Threadbare.

To Anym: Mordalles is the last word since it's his theme, but my understanding based on the etymology (so aptly seized upon by Las Naranjas) is that any sort of combination of a human and a creature would be acceptable. "Were" just means "man", so "werewolf" means man-wolf, "werebear" means man-bear, and "wereman" is of course a man-man (though Las Naranjas' sprite doesn't look nearly manly enough to warrant such a categorizationÃ,  :=).

That a man-wolf might be something different to you than it is to someone else doesn't seem to be a problem, in my estimation, though if Mordalles says it's a problem then it is. ;)



Oh, and here's my entry:

Were-Pink-Panther

Size: 104x142
Colors: 24

I'm not even sure if this qualifies, but I enjoyed making it and I thought the paradigm was looking a bit complacent.

Is that traced pslim? If so could you put a reference up?

WOWÃ,  :o krysis that is amazing!! I wish I was as good as you!

Mordalles

privateer, krysis, buloght and pslim all have the right idea of what i meant with "were".

werewolf = halfman halfwolf. atleast that what i meant.
sorry, i didnt go and research the word to get the specific meaning.

las naranjas, the sarcasm is duely noted.

It's heavily photoreferenced but not traced. I actually tried to trace the human body initially, thinking I couldn't possibly draw it, but when I squished it down I discovered that tracing what I thought were the outlines (which didn't turn out to be the outlines when I referenced the full size photo) looked awful.

The oriental shorthair (drool) I used is here:



The human I used for reference can't be posted here, I don't think, but I could PM it to you.Ã,  :=

My entry is not all that spritey, and I don't mind too much if it's disqualified on that account. It was fun to make and I like it (despite some glaring flaws) and I thought all those half-naked chicks that get posted needed some balancing out. ;)
