From Da Vinci Vitruvian Man.

The Vitruvian Man is a famous drawing with accompanying notes by Leonardo da Vinci made around the year 1490 in one of his journals. It depicts a naked male figure in two superimposed positions with his arms and legs apart and simultaneously inscribed in a circle and square and represents a cornerstone of Leonardo's attempts to relate man to nature. Symbolised the material existence by the square and spiritual existence by the circle. Thus he attempted to depict the correlation between these two aspects of human existence. He was able to relate a man to the two most supreme figures thus proving universal set of proportions for the human body.

Thus here the image represents the two aspects of human nature, spiritual and physical, a man and the beast in one! Leonardo also included therianthropy in his journals but this was never mentioned to the world as far as i know. This first came out in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Ascaban. You can see a flash of this image during the scene where snape substitutes lupins lesson.

Well, first of all, great drawing! I like the DaVinci style and it is a cool looking beast...

I clicked on this because I liked the picture, but then I noticed the similarities in our usernames...
Purely coincidental, I assure you!

I have been using the Pan Demonium alias for a while on various sites, and that is my chosen name in the Church of the Subgenius (www.subgenius.com).

I hope that there won't be any confusion in this, and I think our names are different enough to remain intact. But since I am pretty new here at DA and you've been using the name for a while now, I'll let you make the call. If you have a problem with my handle, let me know, I'm sure we can work something out...

Meanwhile, I'm gonna hop over to your gallery and check out the rest of your work...
