Actually, Just One

Actually, there is just one wolf inside me

Oops, it got out

I still get occasional flare-ups of nostalgia for the old White Wolf products — Vampire: The Masquerade was the only one I honestly tried to play (2nd Edition in my case), but I had second-hand obsessions with Werewolf: The Apocalypse and Mage: The Ascension. And once in a while, when I’m scribbling in my sketchbook, a highly stylized werewolf appears.

I think, in terms of subject matter, I gravitate away from the vampires and toward the werewolves because those visual references from the Vampire sourcebook are just too strong (sort of an anxiety-of-influence avoidance effect). Tim Bradstreet is and always will be one of my favorite illustrators, all because of those Vampire splash pages.
