I needed some blood. I had a way different idea for this when I started it but it turned into this along the way. I was going for werewolf but I wanted to have human-ish teeth, so it ended up with a pretty short nose and weird features. But I like it.

Funny thing about this. The character's clenched human teeth show his tension/fury alot better than sharp wolf-like teeth would. Sometimes sharp teeth tend to fit in neatly together like pieces from a jigsaw puzzle but dull ones can be more accurately shown grinding together to display anger, tension, desperation, etc. Definitely love the expression here.
I was going for "agitated/aggressive" it kind of worked... Yeah you are right about the teeth and jaw. Positioning can show a lot of variation in expression, it's finding the right position to put everything to convey the expression you want that keeps it interesting

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
