Realistic Lycanthrope v2

Description

Version two of a realistic photomanip, of my version, of a Therianthrope/Lycanthrope/Werewolf/shapehifter. I felt that had to improve the other version as it was a bit rushed, and after I got some constructive critic :) Also, this is more of how I've been drawing werewolves on paper. They always come out different digital, so I used one of my paper sketches as reference. And I re-thought the paw concept into functioning paws and hands in one.

In the story that I'm writing this beast shape is called the Therion form (from the the Greek word theríon means "wild animal" or "beast".) And the other forms are called Waer; the feral form h-m-m.deviantart.com/gallery/4… , and Lycan; the more lean humanoid form. h-m-m.deviantart.com/art/Moonl… )

I like my design I have made for my werewolves/lycans/Therianthropes which have more human/primate like features. And this fella would be able to stand and walk around on it's hind-legs similar to a human.
Its roar is like one of a gorilla's. www.youtube.com/watch?v=miXPS2… And when it howls, it's deeper than that of a wolf, similar to a territorial roar of a lion. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U6prr…

Since humans and apes are related I liked the idea to make them more gorilla-ish and just a hint of wolf.
But still making them a werewolf which is not too human-like or not just a wolf on two legs.

This is a surprisingly accurate look on Werewolves! I just don't understand why it isn't walking on its knuckles like the other one? Don't they need their fingers to grip objects and climb obstacles?
