So glad to see it's already been a daily deviation, cause if it hadn't I was going to submit!

It's very clever how the cloak of the wolf becomes the hair or hood of the figure. The simple shading lends itself well to the feeling of surreality and I'm left wondering if the wolf's hooded expression is sad or plotting and if the figure is a representation of the wolf's 'human' half, or is a representation of Red Riding Hood, due to the red that's sneaking into the shape there. The title suggests a morphing so I am inclined to think it's the wolf's human half, but there could be something hinting that the wolf and little red riding hood are connected somehow, if we want to go into the psychology of there being 'a little devil in all of us.'
I think perhaps this indistinction of specific emotion and of the identity of the figure is my only gripe with this one. I think you could push it just a bit farther to insinuate more specific qualities of emotion in the wolf or figure. I also wonder if you can hint at the duality by making the two moons different somehow? Perhaps making one another color or something of that nature?
But at the same time, perhaps leaving it vague enough as it is so that others might ponder its meaning is not necessarily a hindrance? It is so fun to hear everyone's varying interpretations of a piece at times and to let them carry away a story of their own upon looking at it.
Fine work. I envy your ability to draw loose washes into interesting touches of detail that really make it look finished and give it that dreamlike appeal I admire so much in your work.
