Ha! That's pretty nifty!

Certainly interesting. Looks nice, however I'd guess that the wolf's canines would be on the werewolf as well considering the excess consumption of meat :).

The canines are unaltered - do you mean the carnassials?

Could be, I apologize xD. My English in terms of names of groups of teeth is bad. It's the teeth that's behind the sharp fangs..

Ah, ok. Yeah, carnassials in carnivores, molars in us.

Mechanically speaking, bears and chimps can chew meat (and rip people's faces off) just fine with flat back teeth. If you bite down hard enough, it doesn't matter if the teeth shear or crush - damage will be done.

Aesthetically speaking, I like my werewolves to have a mix of humanoid and feral characteristics, they don't just have wolf heads plopped onto human bodies. I imagine them biting down and then shaking the head to wrench meat off the bone.

True :). Does make sence.

It still would not be too practical. Animals use their incisors and canines to grab meat [which you have here] and pull it off. If you imagine eating a steak and how time consuming it is to eat the whole thing, it's not practical for a werewolf to have to sit there and eat little piece by piece and chew and then swallow because it has human molars.
If you look at a bear's molars, they are very similar to the cutting edge of a canine's molars. A chimpanzee mainly eats vegetation but will resort to eating meat if it has to - that's why it's teeth have not adapted to eating meat like a bear or a dog's
Cooked steak is tenderized - it has to be, or nobody would be able to eat it. Now imagine eating a raw steak and having to chew it with dull molars. It's just not practical.

re: bears - nope. Bear teeth aren't completely flat, but they aren't much like the carnassials of a dog, either. Canids gulp their food down with very little chewing, bears have the luxury of being able to sit there and grind away, partly because they're not sharing with a pack and partly because few other animals bother a bear much.

My werewolves aren't pure carnivores, anyways. Most of them prefer pizza to raw venison.

Dog teeth

They are very similar because they have the same purpose. A dog eats chunks of food, it uses it's molars to rip the chunks of meat from the body.

well, "rip" isnt a very good term
more like... cut.

Yeah, I have seen them before. Handled both types of skulls, in fact. Still aren't the same thing shape. And like I said, my werewolves aren't pure carnivores, in fact aren't lupine at all, but that's a long story.

Actually, to play devil's advocate and counter Clayton's point here (which I can't do directly since he has me blocked), werewolves are sometimes portrayed as pseudo-omnivores, in that they're sometimes shown to have a hunter-gatherer type of culture, implying that while meat makes up a large portion of their diet, they can (and do) consume fruit, nuts, fungi, and plant matter, as well.

In the case of a werewolf like that, hybrid dental work would actually be MORE practical. Seeing as how TECHNICALLY a werewolf is a lupine/primate HYBRID ... it's fair to assume their dental make-up would be more akin to a cross between a wolf's and a chimpanzee's.

And besides ... among more "civilized" werewolves such as the example given here ... they aren't crouching behind a tree someplace trying to hork down their food as fast as possible before another predator steals their kill. So what would it MATTER if they can't speed-eat like a more "feral" werewolf could?

Honestly, I prefer the more animalistic style of werewolf, but I can see the wisdom on your thought process and design choice. After all, whose to say there aren't different species of werewolves, that have evolved to have different adaptations?

Oh gosh, I love this!

Ooh, that is cool!

IS IS ONE OF the most unique and awesome things i have ever seen i sence an artistic revolution

I would be veeery interested in something like this, that is just to awesome right there. If you did a set of 3-5 doing a progression of a transformation from human to werewolf skull that would be wicked...and I would most likely buy one lol

I actually started this as a morph but there were so many parts that didn't match and flummoxed the program I gave up and did a straight-ahead chop. I probably will make a morph at some point, I love that shit.

This sounds really stupid but but but. Is that a skull you have modified yourself or is it photo manipulation. This is mind boggling. I keep staring at it. Whatever you did. It's really amazing!

Wow on the human skull his canines are quite flat. Mine are far more pointed and a bit longer as well as my cuspids. Guess that's why my family loves meat.

Mine are, too. Looks like there was a lot of wear on this guy's teeth in general, despite him seeming to be fairly young.

Yeah I love too when women irl have pronunced canines drives me crazy.

Ha I'd love the hell out of some skull morphs of my girls. This is pretty neat :)

i would totally be interested in this kind of stuff!

Woah, this is really awesome! I saw

dude if you could like
MAKE these

i'd buy one ._.

Sculpt them? Man, I wish I could! I can't sculpt for crap.

maybe if you could find a fake human skull and make a plaster mold of the wolf muzzle, you could work them together
that'd be saweet

oh wow, is this digital or sculpture? i did one like that a while back too http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2577448/

Ah cool, yours is for real! Mine here is just digital.

well if this was created i would flesh it out with plasticine just like they do in murder investigation. it would be a realistic example of a werewolf

I might do a digital overlay of muscles and skin and stuff. I love those reconstructions.

can i buy it?

I would be interested!

Hehee, it's like the anthro Anatomy study I did just a few days ago put to life :D Awesome!

Yours looks very cool!

Yours is really fancy, I can't tell where you stitched them together at all.

How long did it take you?

I wasn't keeping track, I think about 3-4 hours. I did it one night when I couldn't sleep.

I must ask, Why the trogloditian brow ridges?

It makes it look more ape-wolf than human...going for the Jekyll & Hyde style transformation?

It's supposed to be one of "my" werewolves, which are humans who can temporarily revert to the form of a carnivorous primate ancestor. They're only called werewolves because they somewhat resemble wolves - sort of like how seahorses got their name - so yah, it's intentional.

That's the word I was looking for, revert. So it is more an ape. That's cool... :D

Yup! :)

it's almost like looking at a great ape skull! though, wouldn't there be more of a prominent crest for the muscle to the jaw to attach to? or i'm guessing the one on the temple would be enough?

interesting and awesome job btw :D

Thanks. It was very much inspired by ape skulls - sort of a combination of ape, bear, hyena, that sort of thing.

That is AWESOME! I would Love something like that! WOW! Im a huge werewolf/vampire nerd..LOL! but that is just neat!

beautiful work!
