Twink Wolf (Werewolf Transformations)

This link is definitely NSFW!  
Twink Wolf is, of course, an X-rated parody of Teen Wolf. The artist does a good job of capturing the look of  the show it parodies--when the werewolves in Teen Wolf transform they don't look very wolfy (they're more like vampires with sideburns)...

And now a rant about Teen Wolf: Back in its first season, the show's alpha werewolf looked like an honest-to-God werewolf, but after that we've only seen the boring, vampire-like beta design. Producer Jeff Davis says this is because of cost and because the actors are more recognizable with the more limited make-up. But a fully-transformed werewolf is a monster that shouldn't look human in the first place.
That's my main beef with Teen Wolf--it no longer seems interested in werewolves, not as beasts or monsters anyway. Instead, lycanthropy is just a superpower and often overshadowed by the lizardmen, kitsunes, druids and freaks. Even so, Teen Wolf is still the best supernaturally-themed show on television, and the writing is better than ever. I just wish that a show about werewolves would accentuate wolf as much as  were.
