#WerewolfWednesday #werewolf #WerewolfWomen #WerewolfWoman #transformation #transfur
A faux vintage civil defense poster for a "WERE RAID SHELTER", featuring a dramatic illustration of a young woman violently transforming into a werewolf. The central illustration depicts a ferocious werewolf woman in mid-transformation, her muscles have expanding, her human clothes are ripped or torn off, her face twisted into a snarl, and covered with long wild hair. A list of emergency instructions to the right adds: "Keep Calm, Don’t Scream, Don’t Run, Seek Shelter, Look for Changes." The "Werewolf Civil Defense Authority" and its logo are cited at the bottom.

Until the WNBA declared it an illegal move, the Chicxulub Crash was a guaranteed slam dunk both on and off the court.

A faux vintage comic book cover titled "DinoStars", featuring a dramatic transformation of a young dark-skinned female basketball player into a powerful anthropomorphic triceratops woman mid-dunk. The "DinoStars" logo has a basketball stylized to resemble a roaring dinosaur mouth chomping on it. As a human, the player says "Time to go for a three-pointer!", and as she leaps to dunk, she grows horns, a frill emerges from beneath her afro as her hair disappears, she grows muscular and bulky, and her dark skin is covered in green scales. Finally, as a full anthropomorphic triceratops woman, she cries "Chicxulub Crash!" before the dunk.

It's been too long, friends! The Dog of the Samurai team is beyond grateful for the love our short got after its December release—but we weren’t the only ones! Many of our peers’ films are on YouTube NOW, so we made a playlist: The Showcase! 🎬✨
"A dynamic poster for The Showcase, a YouTube playlist of animated shorts. Featuring a mix of unique characters: a fierce dog with glowing red eyes, a cheerful purple creature with a scythe, a green-haired warrior, a giant orange monster, and a looming kaiju orangutan. The artwork blends fantasy, adventure, and steampunk vibes, highlighting diverse animation styles. Perfect for indie animation fans and short film lovers! 🎬✨ #Animation #IndieAnimation #AnimatedShorts"

While not the king himself, Kasaii Aisymneter is no less quite the impressive specimen of the Neosauria family of drakes, which convergently mirror the forms of the non-avian therapods of prehistory. Art for this piece for my Trail of Cryptids setting is by the splendid @thedylanroca.bsky.social~!

Here's a piece done for @marabrownwd.bsky.social of their Werewolf Character, designed by @argatheropodfan.bsky.social. Lots of werewolf girls recently, but hey man I am not complaining, there's a reason I'm good at drawing them

A clean version of this #TFTuesday #transformation design featuring art from Birdcomixstudios!
The image depicts a faux vintage comic book cover titled "Ankyla: The Oblivious Were-Ankylosaurus". The cover features a slim blond woman transforming into a large, muscular, anthropomorphic female Ankylosaurus as she lifts, and eventually breaks, barbell over her head. She says "Okay, Susana, you can do this" before she transforms, and "Aw yeah, a new record" afterwards. Text at the bottom reads "Susana Kurylo is trying bodybuilding, but what kind of body is she building with...The Paleo Workout!"

I have a few more followers now, so it's a great time to repost this incredible #werewolf #transformation I got earlier this year from @thedylanroca.bsky.social. They're incredibly good at these, so check out their commission rates and their short film linked below!

#werewolfwednesday #transfur
An illustration showing a young woman with long hair wearing a loose sweater and a pink skirt transforming into a werewolf in four stages. She sprouts claws, tears her clothes, grows fur, and swells in size, finishing aso a muscular, anthropomorphic werewolf woman, snarling with sharp fangs, a wolf-like head with pointed ears, and tattered remnants of her human clothing.

Dog of the Samurai released more than a week ago on YouTube. Currently it has 63K views, and I simply couldn't be more amazed and grateful at the reception it's gotten. I'd like to share the animatic for a scene that didn't make the final cut. I hope you enjoy.
