thats cool

Thank you.

This is done really well and looks anatomically correct for what could happen.

Thank you. I do my best to study anatomy and think about how this would take place in nature.

It does make a tf look more realistic when it's done taking into account anatomy or believed anatomy. It's not actually wrong to have the fingers merge since that's an artistic decision but realistically the appendages don't vanish like that and instead become vestigial. Having a good understanding of anatomy does seem to make an artist a better artist.

Seeing digits ball-up and merge together to become hooves always disappointed me. I just always found it more fun to enhance a digit while gradually shrinking the others into vestiges before being absorbed into the sides of the hand or foot.

I can almost feel it happening to my hand by looking at it; it's very clear what's happening to all the digits.

Do you have a particular.hydra concept in mind, like from an image or a game?

Thank you. Good question. I guess I got the idea from a 3-D model of a hydra I saw many years ago. From recent games, I would say similar to the newer hydra models in World of Warcraft build-wise. I based the paws from rhino feet, something designed to spread the weight. The end result is made for a hydra with at least seven heads. Some of the in-between stages have three to five heads.

Wow. I remembered this art from many years ago. Who is/was the artist?

I created this sequence at least ten years ago. I remember posting it more than ten years ago but do not remember where.

I think was in DA. That was the first I enter to watch werewolves works, like 7 years ago

Just came across this, and thought "I know I saved a copy of that image *years* ago." Great shift anatomy. Definite belated fave for credit where it's due.

For what it's worth, I'm sure I recall it was posted with a comment like "I'm posting this for a friend who doesn't normally do this sort of thing. Show some support, and maybe they'll do more". XD

Thank you. A friend of mine posted that years ago. I just have not been able to get back into drawing much.

You're welcome for the Fave!
Had found you YEARS ago & just join yesterday.
I deleted the saved page so i can't be exact on the date.
keep up the good work!

Thank you!
