Great job with this one! I think the part you really manage to do right this time is how the mane grows. The hairstyle on the pre-TF character is already part of the way there, and you do a great job making it progressively bigger and more pronounced with every ing stage. The face in general is well-illustrated throughout: love the gradual push out of the muzzle, the subtle coloration in the eyes, and the glasses being pushed up is always nice to see. Also, the general heft of this form is great to see, love how you portray how big and stocky a lion's frame is, especially in the paws (especially how they uniquely seem to split the shoes apart). And that final frame is just spectacular, really captured a certain pride in how upright the lion stands and how he roars upward! One last thing, I really like this background color blend in particular - really Animorphs-esque with this one. Keep on impressing with this morphing stuff!

Thank you! And that was something we tried to focus on, having the morph be more "seamless" this time.
Lions are fascinating because they have a power and weight to them, but are not massively larger compared to a human, so I'm glad this one reads well!

You did such an amazing job with this. The sequence and coloring are amazing, as are all the little details! I was blown away when my friend showed me (after asking for a human ref xD). I had been wanting to get something from you for a while, and this is just beautiful!

Nice piece, I like the detail of the glasses remaining and being stomped on.

I wanted to ask. Have you heard the news about animorphs being brought back again?

Thank you!
And I have! I'm kind of at a "wait and see" stage, since the movie that was supposed to happen never did.

We can only hope for the best with Ryan Coogler on board with the project. They don't have to try very hard to top the last Animorphs TV show.

P.s. I just noticed the shoes in the lion image. Is that a first for you? How'd you feel about that?

I'm trying to stay optimistic without expecting too much haha.

And the first shoe rip I did was actually my kangaroo piece! Shoes are one I don't mind too much, though my biggest struggle is to make them actually rip like I think a shoe would, and not just tear like tissue paper.

Yeah, I can see how shoes would be among the most unpredictable clothes to damage in a transformation. I pity anyone wearing all-leather hiking or work boots. Your foot might break before those suckers let go!
