SQUEAK! "Wait, was I supposed to hit 'Auto pilot' or 'Automatic pilot'?" "Maybe we should just fly ourselves..." ------------------------------- Today's Octransfur repost (Day 20 - Auto) was a commission for Adremin. Yes, this is an Airplane! reference! This was one of my favorite days to do-- though I might be biased as a lover of both planes and toys >W<

The background is a public domain image of the cockpit of a very famous, very speedy airliner~ Click here to check out this picture's timelapse~

Octransfur 2022 - Abstract - 12 Sizzlipede TF

"I dunno why but I'm so dizzy right now" - said, the now, Sizzlepede - "Maybe the barrage of colors on that piece was too much for me? Everything just looks so big!"

"So it activates for plushies, too... This is gonna be difficult..." ---------------------- Today's Octransfur repost (Day 26 - Ability) was a personal pic where I wheeled out my Ditto form (Ability: Imposter, naturally) and teased a pal.

This one also features another one of my favorite tropes: The mirror revealing a "true" form. It's another relatively straightforward way to imply TF if you're not feeling up for figuring out a mid-TF form at the moment, in addition to its regular uses~ Click here to check out the timelapse for this pic~

"Ooh, you're going with a quadrupedal form. A brave choice!"

"Choice?! That quiz made no sense!"

----------------------

Today's Octransfur repost (Day 21 - Reality) was a comm for GamerGuys on FA. This pic was an absolute joy to put together. It might not surprise you to learn that I have a soft spot for Mudkip and PMD, haha~

"Aww, he's trying to trick or treat like people~! Do you want a candy, little guy?"

"Why does everyone keep offering me candy? I'm not even wearing a costume…"

----------------------------

And here's the last of the Octransfur reposts (Day 31, Trick), a slightly self-indulgent picture featuring a form I keep meaning to get back to. After probably over-extending myself for the whole month, I just went ahead and did a little something for myself, with a familiar form in a familiar place. (Props to those who know where this pic takes place~)

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to next year's Octransfur~

"Congrats on graduating! Now that you're no longer an intern, you get to join me and the other senior researchers with the baby Pokemon! Hooray!" ------------------------- Today's Octransfur repost (Day 27 - Irony), was a commission for IzyBun. I was in a big little mood when I did this pic, and honestly it's always a pleasure to find another small shiny~ Click here to check out the timelapse for this pic~

"You know, this only works because you were already dreaming about it. Sleep well~" ------------------------------- Today's Octransfur repost was a commission for RubberRabbit. There's not all that much to say about this one, though it is fun to draw nighttime scenes every now and then. And of course, Dream Mist is a heck of a thing~ Click here to check out the timelapse for this pic~

"Ahah! It worked! Now you can study Pokémon up close and personally!" "This isn't what I meant by that!" ----------------------- Today's Octransfur repost (Day 22 - Science) was a commission for NanoSpace. This one's another example of one of my quick and dirty ways of making a TF pic out of something that's almost a regular pic. Just a dash of context and torn clothes, and suddenly you've got a TF! The image used for the background was pulled from Wikimedia Commons.

"Hey, I bet you that I can scare him out of that Pokédex~" Turns out that becoming a ghost-type doesn't change your affinity for (or fear of) the dark. ---------------------------------- Today's Octransfur repost (Day 11 - Spirit) was a commission for Lightfox. Drawing dark scenes can be quite a treat-- and it plays well with my sorta sketchy shading style too!

One little detail I'm happy with were the abstract paintings alluding to all the characters' pre-TF forms. I often have trouble filling out the background, but it's nice to be able to fill it with relevant info~ Click here to check out this picture's timelapse~

It might be a bit of a stretch, but with enough plushies, travel anxieties just drift away. Just be careful where you fall asleep-- your dreams might turn into reality.

----------------

Today's Octransfur repost (Day 10 - Holiday) is another drawn-into-reality piece. I decided to take the definition of holiday to be vacation, but really I just wanted an excuse to draw something on a train (and turn a ton of my friends into plushies)~

The background image is of a Swiss train (taken from Wikimedia).

"So shiny..." "No! You can't just fly out again like last month-- the town'll go crazy! Focus!" All were-creatures are weak to the moon; this is doubly true for weremoths! ------------------------- Today's Octransfur repost (Day 17 - Curse) was a commission for Werenimal. It was a pleasure to draw a more uncommon were-form, and this was one of the more in-depth BGs of the month, too~ Click here to check out this picture's timelapse~

"Doesn't bringing a TV kinda defeat the point of a 'feral immersion' trip?" "Look, I might be feral now, but I'm not missing the Grand Prix." ---------------------------------- Today's Octransfur repost (Day 16 - Snow) features Blitz the Arctic Wolf. This was a fairly self-indulgent day-- since I'd been meaning to go fully feral for a while by this point, and "Snow" is as good an excuse as any to become a snow leopard again~

This particular concept (a feral vacation) is one that I'd love to revisit in the future~

"Oh! It worked~! I knew planes could be electric, too!" --------------------- And here's Octransfur Day 2 - Charge. For this one, I got inspired by reading about a new electric plane prototype that had just done a test flight. I got so excited that I just went up and turned myself into one! ^^; Here's a link to the background image (Wikipedia) There was a fair bit of editing I had to do to remove a certain element for this picture.

TV adds 10 pounds... and a free mandatory makeover to match each show you jump into~ --------------------------- Today's Octransfur repost (Day 13 - Image) features Borealis and Xyron. I went to great efforts to imitate the style of TV, including grabbing the appropriate symbols and a closed captioning font~

And yes, this is based on Dragon Tales~

Here's the widescreen version of this picture.

And here's this picture's timelapse~

"You know, most humans panic at this point." "Honestly, I've kinda come to expect stuff like this to happen at hidden ruins." ---------------- Today's Octransfur repost (Day 18 - Hidden) was a commission for NatureFury. The reasoning for this day was pretty straightforward: I was given a Shaymin character, and the Shaymin Village could reasonably be called hidden. I based the background on some Greek ruins I found online. Click here to check out this picture's timelapse~

"This is great! Who knew the meteorology program had the budget for shapeshifting?" "It's actually a cost-saving measure! Transforming grad students is cheaper than buying new weather balloons for each flight." --------------------------------- Today's Octransfur repost (Day 24 - Weather) was a commission for Dusxio. Flying is a ton of fun, and so is drawing aerial backgrounds~ Plus it's always a treat to bring back old favorite forms!
