Werewolf History
In the past mankind was afraid of werewolves, believing that werewolves are savage creatures who are unable to control their animal side. Although some werewolves lost control over their instincts the majority kept control and learned how to transform on will and to use their senses.
The first Werewolf Clans were founded and the members became respected individuals who were commissioned to track and fight (black) magic and supernatural beings and phenomenons.
With technological progress and the disappearance of most magic their services were not needed any longer and many Clans started struggling with their existence. Some Clans dissolved. After a while the remaining Clans transformed into underground organizations with banks and money business became their main source of income. Using their werewolf senses to literally smell lies and fraud their new work was easy, but also caused new distrust between humans and werewolves who once again are seen as dangerous not to mention the rivalry amongst the different Werewolf Clans.

The Roivas family
The Roivas family crest shows a silver sword with a crescent moon handle. According to old records all Roivas were werewolves and some fought evil.
Encouraged by his son Sebastian, Stefano started restructuring the Roivas Werewolf Clan. While some continue the money business the other members focus on investigating supernatural events.
Based on the Clans researches magic was never gone, but hidden and the combination of criminal energy, technology plus magical skills might have corrupted society deeply.

OC creation
These are two sketches from Stefanos creation process. I started drawing him nude, but changed my mind. I reduced his muscles and I drew a fancy suit to stress his business mentality. I want him to look like someone who can be nice, but also might be dangerous. 

Here are several sketches for his earring that ressembles the Roivas crest.

I chose "C", because it reminds me the most of a sword and the shape looks more masculine compared to the others. Creating jewelry for males can be tricky, if you want to avoid "feminine" looks.

If you read this far: Thank you very much! ^w^
Next I am going to create Sebastian and the werewolf forms for both.
So if you like furries or just werewolves you can look forward for some nice furballs. ^^
I will also finish colouring Stefano.
