Description

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Aries knows, it's taken him for-friggin'-ever to upload something.

Hence why Aries is here at ridiculous-o'clock on a school night, wrapping this one up.

Ah-ah-ahem. Versipellis, Latin, etymology versus, meaning 'turned', and pellis, meaning skin. Literally...'Turned Skin'.

*grins.* In other words, a werewolf.

If you've been keeping up with Aries, y'know how raw and horrible the original sketch for this was...cleaned up nicely, no?

Aries really hated having to shrink this down...so much good detail, out the window. Oh well. Price you pay for finally getting back on the artistic horse.

Aries thinks his girlfriend is seriously starting to have an effect on him, even when she isn't looking...Aries moves in with a werewolf enthusiast, and the first artistic pursuit he finishes? A werewolf.

Ha ha haaaa, Aries is friggin' trained...

Unlike this guy. His eyes are white because he's damn near frenzied with the...utter animal power of the Change. It happens...just how is a human mind supposed to remain completely in control in the face of that wash of instinct and physical power? Some people lose it.

And it's about time that Aries did a were piece with some good, ol' fashioned clothes rippage, too. No, Aries is going to phrase that as a statement, not as a rhetorical question, because it frankly is about Goggdamn time.

Aaaand, yes, Aries'll go ahead for y'all and make this joke for every woman in the world again. Yes. This guy's body is steamin'.

Gyecch, wasn't any better the second time...

(Edit - 10/2/08 - Added a few more highlights, looking for that good, cold moon feeling. Still not entirely happy with 'em.)

FINALLY! I've found someone else who knows what versipellis means... "werewolf" in Latin! :dance:

That makes me so happy. I have an original character whom I named Versa because of it. She's obviously a werewolf. ;P I took Latin in high school: all it took was one story with that as a vocab word and some boredom, and voila, new character.

I also really like this style. Love the pose, love the inked lines, and I REALLY love the background. It's so mysterious, and the choice of brush is great. The cold blue breath is also really appealing, for some reason. =D

Nice work. ;)
