How I love black spiral dancers and was finally able to paint on. Truly one of the most evil race of werewolves ever created. Mixed media acrylic based ink, marker and colored pencil.

They're pretty much the end-all antagonists in a lot of old Werewolf games
My next Tattoo is prolly gonna be that of the Glasswalker, Ragabash symbols on my shoulder... =3
Being honest... this is the best Black Spiral picture I have ever seen.
There's a frightening -wrongness- to this creature, almost as if it could just shrug off it's fur and leap at you as only teeth. claws and muscles.
I forget the proper name for it but is that one of those whips that cause agony when they strike bare flesh?
Nice to see one of these classic nasties rendered so well.
This has always been one of my favourite works out of your portfolio. The blacks and greens and wonky proportions and DEVILWHIP...so much love.
They're a controversial clan, working together with the most evil powers in the game, hated by most other werecreatures with the interesting exepton of the asian clans. But i may remember this wrongly, so better read it up.
And yes I did state the wrym was evil, which is stated in The Book of the Wyrm, Freak Legion, Umbra the Velvet Shadow, and in The Book of the weaver. These aren't other factions saying this, its in the gm notes. This is the last post I'll say anything on it about as this is becoming redundant.
To add to this, how the wyrm became what it was. The wyld at the start of time in old Wod began to make things, the weaver then began to put things in order, the wyrm removed that which was becoming old and stagnant while the wyld kept making and the weaver kept placing things in order. The weaver looked back on her work at one point and saw that all of her work was for naught because anything she put into order the wyrm destroyed in the end, seeing this she became mad/insane and wove her web around the wyrm trapping it. The wyld saw this and fled away from the weaver so as not to be caught. The wyrm began to try and escape by destorying everything around itself and eventualy became insane. No longer to content to destroy what was old and defunct it wanted to end it all and thus became corrupt. Old WoD explains this with all the wyrms creatures it uses being twisted reflections of themself and such.
The end book for the shifters offers many endings to the world one of them being what was listed previously, most are not so happy endings.
Awesome anatomy and colors. great job with the lighting effect too!
Truthfully I reject the standard occultist and christian point of view that all werewolves are evil creatures.
In fact if you looked at alot of ancient stories and such from old civilizations like Rome and such, you would actually hear the opposite being said about werewolves, and many would describe them as noble zealots of good.
It seems though that this picture is related to some silly game than actual werewolves, so my comment would matter very little here.

the same rings on the end of pigtail
same dorsal pikes
Very impressing artwork and character!
I actually made a BSD character called Knows-No-Name...I'll have to post her char reference here, along with Bleach, Chain-Drive, Heart-Of-Gold and a few others.
This is why I prefer the Nuwisha and the Kitsune, no matter what happens you can always laugh, you can't do anything but laugh.
