And, although this portion belongs in the story/poetry portion of the forums, I even thought up a verse or short story to go with it.  Hope its fine if this can stay with the pic.  It just gives it more of a visual appeal I guess to the story ^^;  BTW, in case anyone was wondering about the signature at the bottom of the pic, that's my DA alias...and not just the only one I go by

----Heeding the Call----

"I walk out to the field
Shedding my clothes
Gazing upon the full moon
My heart beats and skin burns madly
The fear of losing my humanity fades
As the aromatic air of the woodland night
And the call of the pack
Ease my frights and excites me.

I smile, baring my teeth
Feeling the canines grow to fangs,
My nails lengthening into tough, ivory claws,
The woodland darkness illuminated by the yellow glow of my eyes
My ears twitch as I feel the skin pull out into points

A short gasp escapes me
The last fragment of my humanity
Trying to hang on and force the beast back inside
Ironically I don't fight it
My will favoring the beast above the human
Growling wildly, chuckling, feeling no shame
I was born a wolf, so there is no need to reject it

My burning skin now itch
The pelt of the wolf growing fast
covering my frail skin
Even as it thickens the burn and itch ebb
leaving a comfort and blissful sensation
The need for a fellow Lupine to nuzzle
And rub our fur against each other

My hands grow long and massive
Taking the shape of irregular human paws,
My feet elongate and toes expand
Taking the shape of hind feet
My chest explodes
Barreling outward
My spine aches and cracks
Reshaping to fit a quadruped posture

My pelt thickens completely
Feeling the last of the changes
From head and tailbone
The last moments are the most enthralling
By allow my face mesh and reform
And the tailbone to sprout
I willingly give in to animal desires
The simplicity of a primal nature
Freeing myself of human restraints

I bore a snarling laugh as my muzzle
Pushes out, my new set of sharp teeth growing in,
My head held high to the moon as I drop to all fours
My new tail wagging excitedly.

The wolves call out once more
Calling their cousins to join them
I lift my head and howl proudly
Heeding the call
And I sprint into the woods to find my cousins
The wind blowing through my pelt
My heart beating fast in joy
Awaiting a wonderous night in the wild."

haha, very good, Catwolf!

Got another pic to post.  You may notice the the background is not complete...and I have no reservation of finishing it (bkgrds are the devils )  Hope you like

Awesome!

Letting yourself out, hmm?

I like it!

Heheheh, that's pretty neat! Makes a cool avatar!

BTW, your contribution to my game is very appreciated! Just be careful not to decide the actions and thoughts of other characters tho (just so the rhythm and the mood are respected, also to prevent confusion. That's my only rule ). I just wanted clear things too.

Both pics look really cool CatWolf
