Wolf Country: The Beast in the Woods (Animation)

This one goes out to the people who found my gallery through silly werewolf stuff.

I've been doodling on this on and off for years now. Animation is hard lol.

Started it on Flipnote Studio on my Nintendo DSi, then ended up transferring it to RoughAnimator on my iPad to redraw & finish it.

I don't know how Kékéflipnote or all those other Flipnote artists animate on such a feature-starved program. I actually can't handle drawing animations without a bit of hand-holding from bigger programs with more features. At the very least, I need a dozen layers for scribbly rough drafts and second-guessing. I'm not a very clean artist.

Just a note for people interested in checking out RoughAnimator, its gif export feature sucks. I ended up exporting every individual frame to PNG and stitching them together in a seperate program to make sure that all the frames showed up and the timing was right.
I really like it for drawing frame-by-frame animation and I have heard professional animators sing its praises, but since I'm only looking to make short shareable gifs, that's a little annoying.

I still think it's worth it to buy, though. IMO it is absurdly cheap for its value. It is the most proper made-for-animators animation program of all the animation programs I researched for iPad, and it has a lot of the fbf animation tools I've seen in more expensive programs like looping and multi-frame editing.

The developer is still supporting the program with updates, so that gif export issue might be fixed in the future.

    So would a dog with lycanthropy be known as a werewolf or werehuman?

    Kind of depends on what you mean by "lycanthropy". Going by a purely traditional meaning it is just "thinks they are a wolf" and, well, a dog is basically just a domesticated wolf, give or take one or twenty steps depending on breed so not much of a big deal there. If you go with the more common meaning of "turns into a wolf" then they are still a "werewolf" it is just their two forms are "dog" and "wolf" instead of "wolf" and "human". What most people tend to think of as a werewolf though is the "middle form", the "half-wolf, half-man" form. So if a dog had that form it'd look like a wolf-dog, with the true appearance depending on breed. I am not picturing a double sized chiwawa that is a mini wolf with a bad attitude.

    Now the dog could have some other condition like lycanthropy where they have a human form, being a "werehuman" such as it is. I've seen a few pics here and there with that as the idea, and a few stories with it as well. Where the dog is still a dog, just as a human, and their middle form is more like a normal furry character than a werewolf.
