Description
This is side series of my Disney girls in bikinis and as Anthro Animals, being Disney heroes in swimsuits. This is picture of Mowgli from The Jungle Book, in a red swimsuit and as a grey anthro wolf. His 'swimsuit' is basically just his outfit from the movie unaltered, and his wolf form is meant to match his adopted family. Well, enjoy.I made this picture from a base by found hereΒ Mowgli Base

Well you can't just start like that out of the blue, that was almost rude to expect me to just start, unsolicitedΒ like that. Ask first, ahead of time, and maybe we can work something out.Β

Yeah, might be real nice for him to finally get to join his wolf pack as at least partially a wolf.Β

What, you're just starting like that? Out of the blue? That's way too blunt and off putting. I took it as a joke, not a serious attempt at starting an RP. You don't just come up out of the blue and expect to RP like that, who says I'm even willing.Β
If you actually want to RP, we can talk about it and make arangments, but don't just start out of the blue like that.Β

Well, Mowgli will surely be loved a lot by his wolf family now.

I'm pretty sure he's loved well enough by his pack regardless of his form. But he might fit in a lot more now. Anyway, thanks, and thanks for the fave too.

I read a story where Mowgli turns into a werewolf pup with red fur.

Thank you, I'm glad you like the idea then, I thought it would be nice to connect him to his wolf family since the Disney movie kind of only introduced them at the start of the movie and then not at all. Let's hope the next live action remake will focus a little more on his wolf family instead of just Baloo and Bagheera.Β Thanks for the fave too.

I hope so too. They were a big part of Mowgli's upbringing after all.

Yeah, well, both Raksha, his mother, and Akela the wolf pack leader, have listed voices, so let's hope they have a bigger role and not just be a part of the prologue like the original.

Thank you, I'm glad you like it then. Yeah, it's cool that he's part of the pack in a more complete way now.

And the design looks good, too. The lips are a bit off & the feet could be longer, but I aint one to complain.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, perhaps your right, something to think about next time. As for the lips, well, I had to make the muzzle from scratch, and I'm not the best at it. As for the feet, they're unaltered beyond the claws. I don't like using Digitigrade feet on bipeds because logically, it would be much harder to walk as a biped on digitigrade feet.
π: 0 β©: 1
Digit-grade Feet have been a bit misleading from the start for most artists. Here's the reason: normally, hind legs are designed to give the animal itself the extra boost when running & are not intended to walk on two's because they lack proper muscle development.
Now, if the muscles of the Thighs & Calf's were prominent, like Humans, then it would be possible to walk on two Feet, much like other animals such as the Dino's.
Hind Feet should look more Human in appearance rather than straight-up Animal Paws, y'know.
Oh yeah, as I studied Anatomy, any life form that is to walk on digit-grade legs would, in fact, need a Tail in order to maintain proper balance, coordination & land dynamicy for greater control and speed.
So for all those nay-saying mouth-breathers that Werewolves look "stupid" with Tails, then well, they should go bark at their own tree for a while, huh?

Well, I think it also has a lot to do with how much space the foot touches. Birds and dinosaurs have fairly long, wide toes, thus they have much wider footprints than mammalian quadrupeds like dogs and cats. So even if theropods (and thus birds) are technically digitigrade, they have a much different foot structure than a wolf's. Their heels might not touch the ground, but their toes are so long, they make up the majority of the surface area of their foot. Another major difference with bipedal dinosaurs and humans is posture. The torso of a Theropod is still held horizontal against the ground as if was a quadruped, the only difference is that its forelimbs are too short to touch the ground, so all of its weight is held on the hind feet, with a long and powerful tail as a counterbalance.
Now it isn't impossible for a creature like a dog to walk on two feet, some dogs have been trained to stand and even walk on their hind legs, but it can't be easy for them, and I doubt they could walk very fast or for long periods.
I don't think just the addition of extra muscles on their legs would allow for easy bipedal locomotion if they still had the same kind of hind legs as a wolf or other digittigrade paw, I imagine they would need extra foot surface area of some kind.
I really wouldn't know how a proper tail would help with balance, but trying to walk on digitigrade feet as a biped would be like walking on just your tiptoes, and trying to imagine moving very fast or for long doing that the entire time. Without a tail at the very least, like those you say leave a tail off their werewolves, then it is really silly to expect them to still move well at all with no tail and digitigrade feet.
They could still move properly without a tail if they still had plantigrade, human like feet. Thus could work for a more muted, "Wolf-Man" like werewolf that was more human than wolf, with only minimal wolf like features.
But for the sake of ease and my own style, I keep human like feet on almost all of them, only giving them claws when I make them different. I often still give ungulates hooves, but then they seem to still have heels that touch the ground, as only their toes becomes hooves, in a bizarre plantigrade/unguligrade hybrid, not sure if that would ever be realistic however. Β
It might not allow them to gain the higher speed of the hybridized animal, but it ensures balance, so what's the point of running fast if you keep falling over. Besides, I doubt a Werewolf running on two legs would be as fast as a wolf anyway, as it has the disadvantage of using only two of its potential four legs to move. So it is just easier to me to say they still have Plantigrade feet.

So long as the Hind Feet maintain a sense of Human appearance, rather than those puny animal paws, then I still think it could be viable, should the base/ball of the Foot is thick enough to maintain itself. And the Tail would help, of course.
But then again, let's talk to an Zoologist, they should know more than us.
The make-up artist, Jack Pierce, who design the original WolfMan, didn't know what the hell a Werewolf looked like. So he spent 5 YEARS trying to figure out what the heck a Werewolf would look like, and uhh, the results speak for themselves. Not to be harsh on the ol' guy, but he was a stubborn dude, which led to his downfall. So technically, the original design of the WolfMan is a LIE!!
That, and Wolves have Tails, so why not Werewolves n' stuff.
Anyways, I actually just did an improve of this Mowgli design for you, albeit some minor improvements, if you'd like to see.
I made 2 different version too, including the "Kipling Version" of Mowgli.

oh yeah, they don't need to be fully human, but to be completely wolf-like would not be very accurate. Some sense of being partially smaller and more akin to a wolf paw is possible, but fully the same shape as a wolf paw and still being bipedal is very unrealistic. This point is rendered moot if the werewolf was a quadruped as it is in some media. But yes, neither of us are Biologists or Zoologists who would know anything about the specifics of limb shape and what would or wouldn't support a bipedal stance and gait.
Well, to be fair, as far as I know, the Wolfman was the birth of the modern concept of Anthropomorphic Werewolves, as medieval myths and legends had Werewolves as a pure human to fully quadrupedal wolf without the slightest hint of any anthropomorphic traits beyond a murderous mindset. Those who made the movie probably wanted to portray an actor as their monster rather than just train a wolf or dog as a stand in so the audience would get the idea that the man and wolf were indeed the same being, and they made use of as much special effects as they could for the time. Beyond make up or an animal, the only other effects option they had at the time would have been stopmotion.
True, wolves do have tails, but humans don't, so perhaps they are just picking and choosing which parts they are hybridizing. I think it is still a viable option to make werewolves look more human than wolf if you want to go that way, especially in certain mediums. But if they don't have tails, then they definitely shouldn't have digitigrade feet as well.
Hmm, alright, I'll take a look at your interpretation then.
π: 0 β©: 1
Heh, if they don't have Tails, then don't make a Werewolf at all! MUAHAHAHA!!! 
But yes, a Tail would help at anny kind of Feet they would have, and yaeh, I am SO SICK of them having actual puny wolf paws! It IS unrealistic!
Now, Werewolves would have muzzles, but... I kinda think they could be optional & looking at demongirl99 's Werewolves, I'd say she nailed it down right.
I'll send it to you via a note, cuz one version is Nude, if you don't mind, cuz Kipling wouldn't.

Well, hey now, I think you are being overly strict on your definitions of something that is widely portrayed as different. You may not like the idea, but others have differing opinions that are just as valid. I too prefer my Werewolves to be mostly wold like and tails and muzzles and full fur coats, but I too have my own preference for the appearances of werewolves that are not shared by all, such as retaining human head hair, something rarely seen in other media. To say a Werewolf without a tail isn't a werewolf is like saying a Dragon without wings or that can't breath fire isn't a dragon.
Yes, no tail isn't realistic, but frankly, what about Werewolves is 'Realistic'? Rapid physical transformation that can come and go in the span of a single night is VERY unrealistic and would never occur using methods even remotely close to modern scientific understanding, and such a concept is about as far off from scientific reality as time travel, teleportation or faster-than-light travel. Thus if they stretch other concepts of credibility, like the structure of the feet or the lack of a tail, it's hardly the most unrealistic concept in the creature's existence. It baffles me sometimes how we geeks nitpick over the 'realism' of things that would almost never have a chance of being scientific reality. I Guess we have the mentality of 'just because we accept that point a is impossible and roll with it, doesn't mean that point b, c, d, e have to be impossible too.'
I get that you have your opinions and preferences, but it seems like you are being slightly aggressive with that opinion of "Heh, if they don't have Tails, then don't make a Werewolf at all!" like only your opinion matters. If you told that to someone who prefers tailless werewolves, they would probably tell you to get lost, and if you persisted, block you for it. We all draw with our own personal aesthetic of what we like to see (and what we are capable of) but forcing it on others won't get you anywhere.
It's one thing to push for realism on things that were or are real ("Your Leopard should have rosettes, not just spots" or "Raptors should have feathers, not scales") but pictures of fantasy creature have no 'right' or 'wrong' interpretation, as long as it roughly fits. My preferred appearance of a werewolf does indeed have a tail, but it doesn't mean I'm going to tell others they can't draw them as they please. Sometimes it gets annoying when they go really simple though, like the werewolves in 'Supernatural' that just had claws and teeth and nothing else wolf like I really didn't like such a simple appearance on them. As mythical creatures, they have many different interpretations.
We can't even nitpick with werewolves by staying close to the source material, as Werewolves in medieval myth, as I said, were full wolves and not humanoid. In fact, the concept of "Lycanthropy" that a werewolf could pass on its curse from a bite, and that a werewolves transformations were connected to the cycles of the moon, are modern concepts as well. Medieval belief was that Werewolves were murderers who made diabolical pacts to turn into wolves in order to commit grizzly murders in wolf form, as was a completely willing pact that could happen at any time. Since you seem to prefer a bipedal Werewolf, clearly your preference is not completely traditional and is based on the modern concept skewed by Hollywood.
Now, it is one thing to push for realism in your own works, and suggest it in others if they accept that notion as a good idea. It is also another thing to judge the work of another based on that adherence to realism based on your own preferences and favour., liking or disliking something based on how realistic it is. But you shouldn't really condemn or pester people if they willing choose to reject your opinion that something isn't realistic, either accepting it as not realistic and preferring it unrealistic for other reasons, or simply disagreeing with that opinion on what is or isn't realistic.
Sorry to go on such a long tirade over something that might be quite trivial.
Alright, I will take a look at your pictures in the note and tell you what I think then.

When they redesigned the Joker for "Batman: Gotham Knights" in the late 90's, I'm sure that was a 'different' way to do it.
But then, a Tailless Werewolf won't make it suck alone; making it furless or with the UGLIEST mug you've ever seen, is also a bad way to make 'em.
Look, just because it's a different design, don't mean it's good, regardless of 'creative differences', it just needs to look right, at least to me & to you, too.
Michael Bay's TMNT flick is a good example...
Feel free to comment if U wish. I thinkΒ I nailed the muzzle down right.
