Fresh Meat
'The truth is, if a werewolf behaved like this psychopath it wouldn't be because he was part animal, but because he was still too human.'
It was photographer Richard Rothstein who first introduced me to the concept of Heteronormative art, though his twist on classic fairy tales. I was aware of the history artistically, but Richard made the point so clearly, and erotically through his visuals. Through his work, I understood the need to capture familiar stories, but through a homonormative artistic perspective. Representation matters, in life and in art.
That's why so many of the stories I tell, and the themes I choose, are about taking commonly used tropes, from art, from films and from literature, and giving them a homonormative twist. Thankfully, so many artists and content creators are doing the same, and incorporating homonormative themes in their visuals.
When it came to finding homonormative werewolf imagery, I knew just what path to head down. The visual world of DeviantART. I often head to the site for visuals, especially when it's a fantasy subject, that can be difficult to capture in traditional ways. In going through some of my favorite profiles, I found just what I was looking for in the work of two visual artists.
The first, is content creator and story teller Spiridon41 who created the first five images. When it comes to Werewolves, or really any Halloween or Horror Story piece, traditionally it's a beautiful woman who's the object of desire, and the focus of whomever the demon, creature or butcher may be. I was looking for images with hot men in peril. I wanted shirtless or half naked hotties running for their lives. It's only their fresh meat that can satisfy the hunger of the wolf.
Midnight Run

I was also drawn to the work of digital creator ihonolulu and his series entitled Midnight Run. In the series, ihonolulu explores the theme of men in peril, in this case, a young hot gay couple. The pair like to take midnight runs in the cemetery, leading them to have to flee from a variety of monsters and demons.
You can all write the story based on the stunning visuals. The couple begin their nightly ritual, eventually stripping off their shirts as the run progresses. They sit, to rest for a moment, giving the werewolf time to plan his attack, and his meal. As they being their run again, the wolf is in waiting, ready to pounce, ready to kill and ravished to eat.
Thanks to the artists and models who contributed to my celebration of werewolves, and their erotic thirst for blood and their hunger for only the finest of fresh meat.
Undomesticatable:
'A man might befriend a wolf, even break a wolf, but no man could truly tame a wolf.'
George RR Martin
If you follow photographer Richard Rothstein on Instagram, you know how much he loves his dog Teddy. Much like his daddy, Teddy loves to be around hot, naked men. So much so, Teddy has managed to 'innocently' sidle up to many of the models Richard is shooting, getting into the artistic actioin. (HERE:)
It should come as no surprise then, that when Richard encountered a sad and abandoned werewolf in Manhattan, he decided to take him home. But... as you can probably guess, it not go smoothly. Wild beasts can never truly be domesticated. Although he looks quiet and calm in these shots, Richard snapped them just after a big meal, laced with healthy dose of dog diazepam. So the pooping and peeing all over Richard's flat were to be expected, but werewolves have many other bad habits which made condo living a nightmare for both the wolf and the artist.

Transformational
The Wolf Man (1941)
No Werewolf film or television project is ever really complete without a great transformation scene. The scene where we see the man become the beast, or the beast morph back into the man. If done properly, the man should also be naked when the beast fades away.
One of the most iconic on film, was actor David Naughton transforming in 1981's An American Werewolf in London. I previously wrote about the scene, and film in a behind the scenes piece on FH HERE: I've featured many werewolves from film and television over the years from the men from Bitten and Teen Wolf to actor Christopher Stone in The Howling. (HERE:)
Joe Manganiello
When it comes to television werewolves, for me, none were hotter than werewolf Alcide Herveaux from True Blood. It certainly didn't hurt that Joe Manganiello was so hot, and many of his transformations ended with a shot of his glorious naked butt. Check out some of my other favorite 'Transformations', some you know, maybe a few you don't, on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
Lucerys: Lusus Naturae
'The lone wolf dies, but the pack survives.'
Sansa Stark
In most modern fiction, werewolves live in packs. They're generally family oriented, and their close-knit family units are usually led by an alpha male. Each pack has a strict hierarchy and werewolves must earn their place in the ranks, These packs are a core part of werewolf existence and survival and rooted in loyalty and strong emotional ties.
In older folklore however, werewolves were more often portrayed as solitary creatures, not living within a pack. The term lone wolf was first used figuratively in literature around the late 19th century, appearing in H.G. Wells's The Invisible Man (1897) There are many reasons a werewolf may leave its pack, including factors like competition for mates, lack of food and resources.
The phrase Lusus Naturae refers to an animal anomaly, coming directly from Latin, combining lusus (play or "sport) and naturae (of nature). The term also fits beautifully a descriptive of the lone wolf. Surviving in the wilderness is tough for any animal, even those in packs, but the lone wolf faces even ore danger and risks, especially when it's on the hunt.
Despite the risks, Lucerys enjoys his time alone in the woods. He's especially passionate about nature play, and savoring everything his often dangerous environment has to offer. Although he spends much of his time alone in the forest, Lucerys also enjoys the odd woodland rendezvous. Although he prefers to dine on the flesh of females, Lucerys is more than fine with any one, male of female, visually devouring his own body of flesh. After enjoying the flesh of the female, like all wolves, either lone or in packs, a prideful postcoital bay at the mood is deffinately in order!
