Eittan nervously reached into the chest and pulled out the most exquisite diamond he'd ever seen, even on television. No sooner had he done so than a voice spoke into his mind "One such as yourself is naturally inclined to be a diamond in the rough."

Eittan dropped the diamond as his body suddenly felt overwhelmed with strength and vigor. Dropping to his knees, he felt his entire body virtually explode with power, his muscles tensing and expanding rapidly. All around him his clothing violently gave way to his relentlessly expanding body mass. His once clean-shaven face grew out thick fur and the hair on his head grew to match. A new tail lashed out from behind him.

Unable to him himself, Eittan stoo up and let out a mighty, piercing roar. Finally he came to his senses and looked at the change he had gone through. It would appear he'd indeed become a diamond in the rough!

So, muscles are very hard to draw. Manes are very hard to draw. Torn clothing is very hard to draw. Naturally I figured "Why not have all three?" XD

In all seriousness, I'm pretty happy with this. As I said, it was a massive challenge, but I'm happy with the end result! Hope you are, too!
