Another one of the myriad of things I have yet to submit, more pokemon tf~! I really have a bit of a thing for serpent pokemon... or, snakes in general, they're such a fun body form to play with. So long and wiggly.
I'm normally a fan of fusing limbs to make snake tfs, the arms to the sides, legs together and such, but I've seen a lot of artists do it the other way like Edmol, Arania, and a few others, and it made me curious to try doing it that way myself, with the arms shrinking back away in the sleeves. Was pretty fun! It's also pretty hard to manage the fusing style with clothes on, in a way that seems fluid and pleasing for a tf.
Mixed media, pencil sketch with digital color tossed behind it. Will probably have to do more colored sketches like this.

Hmm... It'd be restricting, for sure, almost like a form of bondage but with your own skin. You'd feel your arms stuck to your sides and legs stuck together, glued down with flesh, you'd be able to pull against it and move as long as your separate muscles and bones remained, but eventually it'd form into the new serpentine body and you'd feel as if you never had them! I know some artists also do the fusing of the legs with a tail extending from the spine and the legs merging into it, like this- http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26321094/
Many would say that shrinking limbs is more anatomically/biologically accurate in transition than fusing limbs, which if you're going by how snakes lost their limbs in the first place through evolution it would be! But not all transitions have to be congruent with evolution, in fact the fusing limbs makes more sense if you think of the transforming body as 'raw materials' to be shifted around and reorganized, to which the most efficient way to create a long serpentine tail would be to stick what you have already together and run the spine down that rather than growing an entirely new tail and 'ungrowing' the limbs. Probably the difference works best as a difference between science based or magically triggered transformations, with science making more sense to be based on comparative biology and evolution, and magic by the most efficient mode to alter a creature into something else. Same goes for other fusing vs. shrinking tfs, like dolphins, eels, fish, or sharks.
At the end of the day though it's ultimately about preference, and I do like both methods. :D
Here's the sketch as it was scanned before I edited it and added the color, about as close to a rough as there is since I didn't scan it before finishing the line work- https://i.gyazo.com/5c20660c6a31162.....6f113061a0.jpg ( I don't think I have a rough for the Art Deco one either; just have the finished file )
