I'm still in development of Eric's character. I commissioned this a while back from  Bestia and decided to make this his were form, or beast form.

This is Eric's werewolf form, his biggest form. In this form, he is able to balance his conscience with his wolf instincts, and is in control of himself, and there are times where he lets his instincts take over. He can change at any time without the need of the full moon, although a full moon, especially during the Summer season, adds to the excitement of shifting. There are however times where he is unable to control his shifting, especially if he is dealing with stress or through dreams he has. He is able to speak human tongue in this form but mostly prefers not to, so he relies on body language to communicate to others, His roars, growls and whines can also be used to communicate his thoughts. Eric is able to partially shift as well, making his eyes, fangs and portions of his fur appear while in his orc form. He can also shift into his feral wolf form, which can be great for blending in to mountain and forest environments, it also gives him the opportunity to be more adventurous and explore.

Sometime after I started middle school, I began to pick up an interest for werewolves and lycans. This interest led me to DeviantArt where I came across people such as  GoldenWolf,  LazyWolf, Jmillart, Yellow-eyesand my favorite, Sugarpoultry. Often times I would look at their art and their characters, and I would tell myself, "If I had the opportunity to become a werewolf, I would take it in a heartbeat." That interest itself was my real introduction into the furry realm.

When I started developing this character, I knew I had to give him a werewolf form. While polar bear was going to be his furry form, werewolf will definitely be his beast form. I had difficulty with how I wanted to put it together, thinking of whether or not I wanted to do one or the other, or find a way to incorporate them both, and so far it's going well. I guess we'll see what happens.

Again, a huge thanks to  Bestia for this ref. I look forward to commissioning more art of this hunky beast.
