Description Source Image: Red Shadow by ~KasStock

She is stricken with an air of feral curiosity as she dons the antique amulet her friend found at the local street fair that day. Her senses have become unusually acute, something is amiss as her persceptions have become askewed and unfamiliar. Could such a simple trinket be making her feel this way?

I would like to eventually attempt a furring effect on this piece. Unfortunately I reduced the resolution a bit thus possibly making such an effort futile. Why I did it? Well, I'm working on an old 400Mhz machine with the monitor resolution set to 800x600, so it looks relatively big.

I intend on returning to this piece in the future, after all, the stock photographer has "Cat People" listed as their favorite movie, I would hate to disappoint.

You have some blurring issues around the animal physiology, but it's very nicely integrated.

Thank you... yes, I have to experiment with the use of noise to introduce some texture into the additional parts.

That's work, or you could airbrush/paint with texture brushes or unique spatter brushes to gain a more organic effect. Noise tends to be regular, even if supposedly "random".

Interesting thoughts on noise. Indeed the work of the human hand does seem to achieve the more natural flavour.

EXCELLENT work. .. can't even describe in words how beautiful this piece is. How long does it generally take you to create these?

By the way.. if you're ever looking for another model with work with, check out my gallery and drop me a line. I do requests!

NeoZoan In reply to fetishfaerie-stock [2005-04-06 22:15:51 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I was looking at your work. I notice you have quite a few good pictures, excellent quality. It would appear to me that you've already fulfilled a request for a transformation artist. I'm just going by the fact that in the 'Green' series you are quite estudiously inspecting your hands and feet for some apparent metamophic artifacts(?). I have a policy about not doing work on an image that another artist has already used. So if my guess is right, let me know which one is being used... Better yet, give me a description of anything you'd like to see me do with one of your images.

Thank you. Yes, I did that series at his request; he was planning on using either Green 11 or Green 22. If you would like, I can do some shots for you to work with - although it would take me a week or two. Then you can get first dibs. And request certain poses, expressions, costume, environment, etc.

Really, you could turn me into anything you'd like. One of the great things about offering stock photos is that I see myself in so many different forms after artists have had their way with my photos, ways that I wouldn't have thought of myself.

However... my favorite animals, if you like to do animal-morphs, are: tigers, snakes, bats, cats in general, red pandas (they look like foxes!) ... or, if fantasy is allowed: dragons, unicorns, .. or demons or mermaids. (So the last two aren't animals....) You could even turn me into an ugly ogre.

Let me know if you have any particular ideas, or would like me to shoot some random shots so you can have first crack at an image. (Then I won't make that particular photo available to other artists.)

It was this attitude that lead me to choose this stock, and now Cassandra is providing me with some material that will more aptly solidify your commentary.

Yes, I saw the pendants and so forth the model was wearing and thought... Oooh, good catalyst for a TF there. I know it's corny and overused, but i couldn't help myself.

I'm glad you liked my work. It is especially important to me that the model I use approves of my tinkerings.

I could sense your feline soul trapped within the very confines of that stock photo. All I did was bring it to the surface.

Thanks, I intend to. I guess the lesson for today would be... 'Use good stock, it's all in the model's attitude.'

Thanks, I am especially happy about how neatly I was able to mimic the natural lighting of the scene in the additional features... Though I may darken the whisker folicles.

NeoZoan In reply to Osprey-Hawk [2005-01-23 07:54:33 +0000 UTC]

Yes, the model had a rather regal and confident expression. I would say this is the other side of the ballpark when it comes to transformations as this TF is bringing out a certain elegence from within the subject as opposed to frightening her.
