Attached Link: Werewolf or Wolfman
As a self proclaimed werewold FREAK I have to say that the lighter toned one on the right is more to what I think a werewolf should look like. The previous, left side image, looks more Neanderthal to me (hevily muscled upper back and more of an apish face)My suggestion would be to watch the old 30's movies (the WolfMan and a few others). There should be evidence of a wolf like face but the idea of the snout coming out of the face in extremes just never looked right to me in the movies. He's a man with a wolf trying to take over. If he's fully changed then yea he's dominated by the wolf and will more than likely be on all fours at this point with the hand and feet reformed into padded paws, a tail and a snout and the ears up top, not on the side of the head a humanoid would have. In a "mid" transformation there are many aspects of the wolf apparent but for the most part it's a furry human with teeth, pointed ears, talons and maybe the nose blackened and pulled back to resemble the Wolf nose as it's used for determining weather conditions (wind and tempeture) and scent. Also keep in mind that the body will not be overly muscular. The Fairy morph with some tone and a bit of muscularture added in should be good. Eyes are bit small and usually have a black "eyeliner" around them, which I think is used to deflect strong sun light glare.
If you are making a "monster" then do as you will, of course. We all have our ideals of what a wolf man or a were wolf would look like but being one who loves Wolves and studies them a bit and loving Werewolves and Wolfmen creatures this is what my mind sees as "correct" if there is such a thing for a man beast such as this..... :blink:
See the link for some images from Google.....
Hope that gives you some positive feedback and some more ideas!
