Description I wanted to make a picture, showing how I imagine the twins Jimmy and Billie, shape-shifting into any of their forms (Waer, Lycan or Therion)
Their clothes doesn't rip apart, they simply blend and make the fur. It can take a few minutes or just seconds to become any of their forms, depending on the situation. It takes faster when the adrenalin is pumping.
The only time their clothes would rip is when they're not in control of their inner beast. Then it takes time for the beast to appear and their bones, flesh and skin would break and rip. They would scream in agony as they transformed. Normally they wouldn't.

-NOTE! In my mind, these 'werewolves' can shape-shift because they inherent their powers through their genes (In that universe getting bitten by one does not turn the person, it's only in folklore it's said so.) The name werewolf (man-wolf) was come up by people who only had wolves, (and bears) as big predators in Europe to represent what they had seen, a man who became a monster with pointy ears and a claws - a big bad wolf. So this is not the 'normal' kind of werewolf you think of. Just letting you all know so there aren't any misunderstandings!

The anatomy might not look correct, but I tried my best, also I can also say that it's because they're shape-shifting that the anatomy isn't correct as well haha xD

Don't know how long it took. Didn't keep track. Experimented on it back and forth for a period of time, when I had time between studies.
Boring background is boring, but since this was something for the book as a show, and for me to play around with, I had no time or plan for a background.
As the focus was on how it would look like when they shape-shifted

You never cease to amaze me, love that lore you included to! I like how he still looks man though, whilst the rest shifts to beast.. Godly transition!

Of course, I didn't just like it, I loved it! How did you think up something like this? It's very nifty!

That's awesome ^^
Well, it sort of came to me in a dream, after a night of brainstorming designs and possible transformation/shape-shifting ideas. I saw in the dream how a human turned into a beast, just how I portrait in the picture.
I didn't want them to rip their clothes to pieces, and later turn back to human, for example in the middle of the streets, all naked
The whole thing with the clothes being their fur, came quite obvious to me. Since they are in control, then their clothes become a part of them. And since our clothes are what fur are to animals, warmth and protection.
And I also didn't want to make a "typical werewolf", so I thought it would be more of an ape-like beast. Like the primal part of the human emerging. But also a bit of wolf-like features, so it could get linked to the folklore of how werewolves were described.
Hope that's a good explanation

Ooh, I see..Β It's an excellent explanation, thanks for allowing me to see what came to you when you made this!

It's smart thinking really, you described it so well, good job! I just now notice how the clothes blend in, that's just... Extraordinary!Β 
You're pretty creative!
