Folks, when an artist spends hours rendering a beautiful creature and shares it with the world for all to see, that is not permission to grab the work, feed it into a video AI, and make your own animation of the creature to then "copyright" yourself. Legally, you can't even enforce that copyright.

I’m not going to share a link, but within 24hrs of being published my illustration has been fed into AI and used to generate a video of this dinosaur, and frankly I just need this world to stop.
Seriously, what is the fucking point?

Introducing Xenovenator espinosai, a new troodontid dinosaur with some fascinating cranial anatomy. I had the honour of being approached to create the illustration for this week’s official announcement. (1/3) #SciArt
A photograph of the research team who described this new dinosaur, with my illustration on a large screen behind them. A digital illustration of Xenovenator - a dinosaur with a long snout, large eyes and a tough, bony mantle on the top of its skull. It is shown with a mix of blue/grey and peach coloured feathers.

A Pteranodon longiceps just messing around in the water. This sub-adult’s crest is not yet as large or as brightly coloured as those of more mature individuals.
#SciArt
A digital portrait of Pteranodon - a prehistoric flying reptile, with a distinctive long curved beak and head crest. It is mostly a dark grey/black colour, with yellow flashes on its throat and crest, and a piercing amber eye. It is shown semi-submerged in the spray of a breaking wave, with a stream of water arcing from the tip of its beak.

Tear-o-Dactyl is my latest TF sequence; a werepterodactyl TF I have been wanting to paint for a long time. I think this is one of my best TF sequences yet. Check the link for her backstory.

Tear-o-Dactyl. Keelee Robinson, a werepterodactyl who retains her pterodactyl coloration while in human form, is harassed by youtubers until she cries and transforms on camera for them. This is a regular occurrence for her.

Orb of Reversion

From December 1st to January 31st, those who have been cursed, forcefully TF'd, or balefully polymorphed may use the Orb of Reversion to TF back into their normal selves.

#TF #Transformation #Sequence #Species_TF #Species_Swap #Reversion_TF #Reversion #Mantis #Raptor
Mantis uses Orb of Reversion to transform back into a feral raptor; TF sequence of 3 images by Zhaolong. The Orb of Reversion allows those who have been balefully TF'd to turn back to their original selves for a day or more, powered by the goodwill of people during the season and grace from above.

Here is my latest sequence, a very unique transformation for Colonel Rockrits! In this TF, a truck transforms into a T-Rex across 5 panels.

I wrote up a critique on a creative cruel TF, executed perfectly by the talented @mkiiiconvertible.bsky.social . Check this out to see how to do a forced TF:

I also draw bird TF. This was fun and I hope to do more in the future. I believe that avians are underutilized in TF media.

I saw Jurassic World: Rebirth yesterday. In my opinion the movie is good, even if little of it is groundbreaking. If you like dinosaurs, it's a decent movie. They pay respect to the ancient reptiles they put on screen; I give it 7 pterosaurs out of 10.

Uploaded a new snake TF; this time on both my gallery and Transfur. We in the TF community should not forget about Transfur, as they appreciate artists and has honored TF art for a long time.

Unstuck
A person stuck in a crevice makes a wish to become unstuck. Their wish is granted, but the effects are beyond their imagination. Unstuck, but slowly turning into a ball python, they slither their way ...

This January 16th marks a Dragon Appreciation Day on the Year of the Dragon. Extra rare and lucky!

Personally, I think the day should be Jan.17 ( 1-17 ), but that's just the Eastern Dragon in me.

I've added this card to my Scraps gallery on DA. I think its a good place to archive the cards I make.
HAPPY DRAGON APPRECIATION DAY! JANUARY 16. ZHAOLONG. Image shows an anthropomorphic Eastern Dragoness riding in a Dragonboat. Both are transformees.

My first Dragon TF exclusive for Bluesky! It is quite becoming that many of us TF artists have come to this place; the symbol of the platform is fitting to the theme of Transformation.

I uploaded one of my earliest Dragon pictures to my scraps gallery on DA. I drew this back in 2006. However, now that I'm looking at it I'm wondering if I should remake this piece next year when it's 20 years old.

This year I have finally added a scraps gallery to my DeviantArt. Inside I will be uploading artwork not related to the Book of Dragon TF, or side stories, old sketches, process sketches, non-TF paintings, and other miscellaneous pieces.

Hello folks! I finally have decided to get a Bluesky account since it seems all the TF artists are having the TF party over here nowadays. I look forward to sharing and discussing art while seeing yours as well. Also expect to see some game dev posts and, of course, *DRAGONS*. 🐉
