dang, that is pretty darn awesome o0. I have GOT to commission you sometime x3

Sensory overload.

Oh wow! Very neat :-3

yes, something is extremely sensual about snakes, and I think you might have pointed out one of the more subtle reasons for that: their hypersensitivity, despite lack of limb. A book I am reading, 'The Malloreon', details a queen who was transformed into a serpent due to her excessive vices, and the obsessive worship of snakes that her and her people practiced: She now finds she can entertain herself for hours merely by rubbing along her own coils, relishing in the smooth, unending strokes and dry, dusty hiss of scales sliding uncannily across one another.

The one thing I believe I would regret losing as a snake, however, is clear eyesight: too often placid snakes strike merely because they sense a large, threatening presence, but can't identify it closely enough to know if it is friendly or aggressive: This makes me believe that being a snake would be a nasty mix of murky placidity and mortifying panic, with a bit of cold rage mixed in when the desire to hunt or defend oneself kicks in.

One touch here I want to commend you on: rather than having the legs merge into a tail, you have them being sucked in, their flesh fueling the tail's growth from, what else? the tailbone. What can I say: the human body has many redundant organs and structures that serve as black boxes that scream potential of mutability: Done cleverly, you can make a human look like its almost natural to change the way they are;)

Awesome picture Proxer:) If I had a negative note to add, I'd say that when you ink or otherwise polish this image, work the uneven kinks out of the body/tail that make certain places look folded rather then tightly wound or coiled. Just offering constructive criticism, of course ;)

And once again I learn a few things, and you remain my favorite commenter. The Malloreon, eh? I should check that out if it goes into such great detail about it.
Not all snakes have poor vision, mind you. It really varies from species; some are basic light and dark distinction, others have telescopic vision, like the Asian Vine Snake.

Totally, though. Humans are a blank canvas that could so easily become anything else.

Well good, I am flattered to be your best commenter: It means I am more or less doing what I intended, and expressing my appreciation for your artwork well. I think it stems from me getting way more faves and watches than comments on why they like my stuff *shrugs*

As for the Malloreon, there are alot of good reasons to recommend it beyond that concept, but yes, I would not be surprised if the author had a liking for snakes;) One of the main characters has a pet snake named Zith, a bright emerald green colored little serpent, tiny enough to hide in your hand, with a red stripe from her nose to tail on her back, and sporting the most lethal venom of any snake known in that world; chaotic spasms worse than any tf you might see, followed by death, after 15 seconds, on a single bite. . However, she is gentle, and even has the odd habit of purring when satisfied.

Oh, if you *DO* decide to read it, I recommend reading the Belgariad first, which is the first in the series, but fair warning, theres plenty of reading in each

I wonder if the Asian vine snake is mellower since it has better eyesight. I'll have to keep an eye out for info on that

I just looked up asian vine snakes and they look like tree spaghetti :3

This is a great piece. I like it also and agree that there would be a sensory overload. But don't forget he's loosing some feeings also. Mostly the legs and arms. I hope you keep putting out such great pieces

This is really interesting, seeing your art has given me an idea of a bird transformation, most focused on the face :/
Maybe I'll make a stinky gif sometime.
Never imagined myself to have an interest in transformation guess that happens when you watch animorphs :U

when you do, I wanna' see.

poor bugger XD

Terrific Transformation! Awesome alteration art! :}===<

But wait.. is that 'knitting' in the keywords? :P

But of course! arms being 'knitted' to sides, of course!
Also, off shot, he was knitting a sweater. Looks like that sweater will forever go unfinished...

Two kinds of knitting. Bonus!

Really though, I'm very much digging your intense take on snake TFs.
