My Second Submission to the Beasts of Yore Portfolio!
http://beasts-of-yore.deviantart.com/
After doing the Wasgo piece, I had selected to do a more “common known” beast, but with a personal twist. I went for Werewolf, and playing of the old Hungarian/Romanian (Bohemia) lore and time period, I grew up with.
I adjusted the contemporary “look” of the Werewolf- from the popular “simply a wolf standing on two” design- to something more relevant to the time period of the 15th century and cultural ethnicity, along with a merge of Wolf-and-human anatomy. You will notice the long curly locks of hair that was relevant fashion for the men in that time period, along with the floral design of the frame- predominantly Hungarian. The horse- tack-like apparel/garb he is wearing is also modeled of the actual horse tack of that era in Bohemia.
Watch his blind eye though- approaching him on his right side, might end up being the last dangerous thing you will ever do.

He looks like you could carve him as a gargoyle and place him on a castle as a protector and watcher.
He looks like he would never shift, kind of like the alpha of a ageless clan, un altered by the shift of the moon.
I find it interesting that his crest is so close to the Templars crest.
Amazing work as always :)

Heh.. well, let's just say you got a couple of your statements right! ;)
Actually, that crest you refer to is not the Templar's crest. The double cross crest appears in a lot of European heritages that took on Catholicism and Christianity through the ages. That one in particular is specific to a certain family who's offspring has become known in local legend as "The First Wolf Man". More details when my graphic novel is released.
