What of you share with others?

(is that the thing? Idk I never saw the movie)

Me neither, that just made me think of it, love the ring concept though and that noodle

This is an incredible concept, love it!

Thanks! I've had a lot of fun with it :3

This is really neat perspective on how the hoop stuff works for you. Thanks so much for sharing~

I'm glad you enjoy it ^^

I hadn't decided. I guess I'd lean more towards magic, etc.

Correct. He would see the human arm, but feel the dragon leg. Its only because he's looking through the ring that the appearance doesn't match. (you could make a party game out of taking one and blocking the sides off so you couldn't see around it. Then have people try to guess the animal based on feel alone. All while only being able yo see their human arm.

That's something I'm still on the fence about.

Some of them will differ a bit depending on if you're looking at it from a design perspective or a lore perspective. so I'll try to answer what I can for both.
- Design:
There are absolutely different effects, of really any type you'd want. I'm just a bit biased toward those types of tfs, so it's what I tend to draw. I enjoy drawing big feral creatures/mythics and standard sized anthros, but there absolutely could be ones that do stuff such as simply changing a gender (there have been a few I've drawn that do that as part of the anthro transformation, but I haven't drawn any that just do gender.) Clothes do typically change to match the new form, whether it be resized, restyled, or removed entirely.

There's no way to tell before testing it, and no real safety mechanism that'd stop someone from intentionally or unknowingly using it on themselves or others. Some also aren't predetermined, and others can suddenly have an unexpected result as the magic ages and breaks down. Mainly because I enjoy surprise and/or resistance in tf, and "more than you bargained for" or "I didn't think this through" type results that make reversing it much more difficult.

- Lore:
Same as above, many different types. I image there'd be expensive tailor made ones that could be custom tailored for the exact result wanted by the person. But the ones I typically draw would be the mass produced imitation products. Much less predictable, stable, durable, etc. And you just have to trust that the seller is being truthful when listing the ring's effects.

High end tailored ones might have some sort of lock to only work on the person it's for, But I don't think most mass produced ones would.

And no need to apologize =) I'm happy to share.

It's a concept I'm been toying with since late last year, so I've had some time to iron out the details a bit ^^

These sound like such fun. And if someone steals your ring, they could leave you stuck, impersonate you, or do any number of shenanigans. ^.^

How's it determine the form you take? Or is it essentially random?
Also, is there anything related to ring breakage?

At the current point, I've been doing then mostly r mainly, but that's not to say there couldn't been a reason.

As for breakage, I typically go by the rule that they can't break mid-use, protected by a barrier. Once it's fully off though, all withheld damage runs the risk of applying all at once and possibly breaking after use.

love this concept, could see this sort of thing being a fun magical item in an rp like the world i'm slowly working on lol

feel free to use =)

I really like the idea of looking through the ring to see the changes. It reminds me of the take of the old folktale of the Wolf Eyebrows.

I had to look it up, but yeah! I can definitely see the connection

That last part is something I relate to. The alternate reality thing. XD
Though it has it's holes, I get the feeling kind of works if the alternate universes were Parallel.
A different world, but still all going the exact same way, down to the very thought.

It's more I was running into problems of having the Au coming out from one side, but if you look into it from the same side, anything behind it would also appear changed. Which doesn't make sense when you think of it as a portal between two set locations/realities. Stuff like that

Makes sense how those kind of flaws would happen. I guess the pocket thing would make more sense.

So I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. Your saying both selves are interacting with the ring in conjunction, your in control of your human body and them as their dragon body. Then when your human body passes through, your mind and feelings switch to the dragon's body that has passed through into your world. So your still in the same dimension but your mind has switched to any part of the other body when it has pass into our world and vice versa?

You control any part that is in this 'world' Anything on the other side of the ring, you don't control/feel, though you can still see it when looking into the ring.

Got it, thanks. A really neat concept. Have you ever thought about doing the reverse version?
