Time for an update and a very special one too! It's the first by my new co-editor, Daymon. Everyone who reads this blog knows that Daymon has notified us of many, many excellent transformations in the past. With that mind, I asked if he'd like to take on a curatorial role and I'm very happy he accepted. So please welcome our new co-editor! He's posted four new items below, and I'm sure you'll agree he's off to a great start. As for myself, I'll be posting new stuff sometime in early February.

Conan the Adventurer (Wolf, Lizard, Dragon, Falcon, and Monster Transformations)

This is Daymon, here as the co-editor with my first major post. I wanted to start with a selection of transformations from Conan the Adventurer cartoon.

Let's begin with this wolf transformation:

Conan the Adventurer S01E08 Greywolf of Xanthus


Here is a monster-into-bigger-monster transformation:

Conan the Adventurer S02E17 The Vengeance of...


His reversion scene:

Conan the Adventurer S02E17 The Vengeance of...
 

Here is Windfang's dragon-man transformation:

Conan the Adventurer S01E12 Windfang's Eyrie


And Windfang's reversion:

Conan the Adventurer S02E25 Earthbound


But poor Winfang transfoms yet again:

Conan the Adventurer S02E25 Earthbound


Here is a falcon-man transformation:

An Evil Wind in Kusan


And the reversion scene:

An Evil Wind in Kusan


Here is a lizardman reversion:

Conan the Adventurer S02E32 Final Hours of Conan 

Werewolf Roundup (Werewolf transformations)

Hello, this is your co-editor, Daymon, posting some new werewolf transformations: 

First we have the transformation (with a slo-mo replay) from The Simpons' "Treehouse of Horror X":




Here is one from American Dad:



And here are the transformation and reversion scenes from the claymation MTV show Celebrity Deathmatch:




I also found the video of the Olliver's Adventures episode "Wolfman Zack." EDIT: The original link is dead, but the TF can be viewed at Shadowlord Inc.

Wangpai Yushi (Bear Transformation)

Daymon here as co-editor, presenting a scene I found in the Chinese supernatural comedy anime Wangpai Yushi. Hope you enjoy:

Update Complete!

The December update is now complete. 10 new items have been added since Sunday.
I didn't get around to posting everything I wanted, such as the many comics I have backlogged, but those will appear in the next update, which should be in mid-January (if I have lots of free time after Christmas, I might post one or two items). So if you suggested something that didn't show up this time, my apologies--I'll get to it! In the meantime, enjoy the new stuff. Youtube has become rather unpredictable, so please let me know ASAP if any of the videos get taken down. Have a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

P.S. There's a full moon on Christmas, so if you transform and run amok, make sure you wake up indoors!

P.P.S. Shadowlord Inc. just updated as well, so make sure to check the many fresh goodies over there!

Tiger and Wolf (Werewolf and Weretiger Transformations)

Here's a slightly strange movie: Tiger and Wolf (2013) seems to have been inspired by the Twilight craze, since the story involves lots of shirtless high school hunks turning into werewolves and weretigers (which are part of Thai folklore). But despite what you're about to see, most of the movie is live-action--only the parts involving werecreatures are animated. Now, on one hand that's an interesting way to cut costs. One the other, the animation looks like it was made in two hours on the director's mac. Nevertheless, it's an interesting experiment. Towards the end, you can see one of the live action characters shift into his animated counterpart.

Crying Wolf (Werewolf Transformations)

This very cheesy werewolf film was released earlier this year. As you can see, the special effects are a combination of cheap CGI and even cheaper costumes, but I give the filmmakers credit for going to the effort of portraying several werewolf transformations. I've edited together the first transformation scene, a later scene of a group of characters transforming (NSFW--there are lady boobs on display), and a reversion scene toward the end.

The Changing Times Podcast

For the first time I'm going to write about something that isn't a movie, TV show, comic, or book.
Changing Times is a podcast that's all about transformations. As proprietor Cheasy Dino states, it's "a project to create a more sociable atmosphere for transformation enthusiasts." It's goal "is to bring the transformation community together, as well as share our interests." The podcast features interviews with artists, writers, and various other members of the TF community. Past guests have included Dragoniade and Arania, and our friend Dutchbull will be appearing soon too.

And now I have joined their company. Last fall I had the pleasure of being interviewed for the podcast, and you can now listen to the results. I'm not sure if you want to hear me ramble on for an hour, but please support the podcast and give some of the other episodes a listen. My thanks to Cheasy for a very enjoyable interview and for helping to create stronger ties in the transformation community.

Scream Street (Werewolf Transformation)

Scream Street is a claymation/stop-motion animated series from the BBC, based on a popular set of children's books. The main character is a werewolf. From what I can tell, the same transformation sequence is re-used in most of the episodes, so here's its first appearance, in episode 2.


Werewolf Transformation 7 by blackjack60

Concrete Revolutio & Zatch Bell (Jaguar Transformation and monster transformation)

Thanks to Daymon for alerting me to episode 10 of the anime Concrete Revolutio. I have no idea what's going on this clip, but the Jaguar-man is pretty cute:



As a bonus, here's another find by Daymon--a clip from episode 147 of Zatch Bell, showing a little monster turning into a much bigger one:

Robinsons Drinks (Age Progression Transformation)

This juice commercial is true to its title: "They Grow Up Fast." And it's very well edited!

Robinsons TV advert 2015 - They Grow Up Fast from McKenzie Rudolphe Films on Vimeo.

I wish the transformation between the early adolescent and rebellious teenager had been shown, but I can't complain about anything else.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (Monster Transformation)

Thanks to Mike for recommending this clip from a Marvel Comics TV show. I'm not familiar with the material, so all I can say is that in a character turns into a spiky, hulking monster called "Lash."


In the next episode (season 3, episode 7), Lash transforms again:

And for those who like reversion scenes, he reverts to human form here.

Momo Kyun Sword (Monster/Muscle Growth Transformation)

In the last Transformation Round-Up I featured a muscle-growth gif (found by Daymon) from an unknown anime and asked if anyone knew what show it from. An anonymous commenter, following on a tip left by the aptly named "Ms. Helpful," found the source.
It's from the anime Momo Kyun Sword and features a demon who becomes stronger whenever he eats women's panties. Here's the clip--there's further muscle growth toward the end:

Muscle growth fans should make sure to watch the other videos on this excellent channel!

One Punch Man (Monster/Muscle Growth Transformations)

 Edit: I'm re-dating this as a "new" post since the original video was taken down shortly after I originally embedded it, and I didn't get around to finding  a replacement until now.

Thanks to Daymon for suggesting the first episode of this anime parody of the superhero genre.
The clip below should explain itself:


Far23 also discovered that a Lion boss in a later episode undergoes some muscle growth of his own.

Hemlock Grove (Werewolf Transformation)

 Update time! To be honest, I didn't get to upload everything I planned for this update, but I plan on making a few short updates later this month (expect lots of comics!). In the meantime, enjoy the new material, much of which was sent in or suggested by readers.

We begin with Hemlock Grove--the first episode of the third (and final) season has yet another skin-ripping transformation. I've already made clear that I'm not fond of that method of metamorphosis (by over-emphasizing gore it skimps on the rest of the process) but I know some folks would like to see it. Keep in mind that the special effects budget seems to decreased this season, so this TF is not as convincing as the show's first (which can be seen, along with the later TF scenes, at Dutchbull's site).



On a related note, our friend Ogrebear came across this Brazilian video made for Hemlock Grove's promotional campaign. It's supposed to be prank video, though I bet the bystanders were really actors.

Gladiators of Rome (Minotaur Transformation)

Thanks to the anonymous reader who suggested this 2012 Italian animated feature, which has a surprisingly well-done and dynamic Minotaur transformation (especially for a computer animated film--characters are usually stiffer than in 2D cartoons).

Werewolf Roundup (Werewolf Transformations)

Some howlingly good lycanthropic discoveries from Daymon:

Link (from the Legend of Zelda) has turned into a wolf/werewolf a couple of times, but his most memorable transformation is from the manga of a Link to the Past.

Lycanthrope Leo was one of the first modern manga to be translated for American audiences. Technically Leo is a were-lion, but he's easily mistaken for a werewolf, and hey, he is a lycanthrope. His first metamorphosis starts here.

More manga, with a proper werewolf this time, from Ch. 21 of Cat Paradise.

From the 1987 anthology cartoon The Comic Strip, here's episode 3 of Mini-Monsters, "Adventures at Camp Mini-Mon." The wolfman character is permanently transformed, but during the full moon he gets a bit wolfier.

A fake commercial, titled "Side Effects." The shift happens 30 seconds through.

A transformation from the manga Battle Angel Alita (Vol. 02. Ch. 01).

For Halloween the pug from the Men in Black animated series (season 2, episode 6) transforms into a werewolf (technically that makes him a dogwolf, except the werewolf is anthropoid--forget about the terminology).

Thanks again Daymon! 

Here are two last last items--a short animated film on Vimeo (the transformation is at the 0:20 mark) and a neat little wolfman gif.

Panic at the Disco: "Emperor's New Clothes" (Demon Transformation)

Thanks to the anonymous reader who suggested featuring this music video and wrote "the whole video is basically an artsy demon transformation." Indeed, and the make-up is pretty impressive.



If you want to skip to the TF, that starts at the 47 second mark.

Transformation Round-Up (Various Transformations)

All of the following transformations were discovered by Daymon, our resident TF sleuth-hound.

A gnarly lion-monster transformation from the anime Flame of Recca (episode 24). The character gets even more monstery in the next episode.

A caveman TF from Totally Spies (Season 3, Episode 23: "Head Shrinker Much?").

Here's a cartoon I remember from growing up in the 80s: Tiger Sharks, which ran as part of an anthology program called the Comic Strip. The characters were humans who could turn into marine animal hybrids. In this clip from the first episode you see Walro going walrus, and then, after a few seconds, Mako becoming a man-shark. In the next episode, Lorca turns into--well, you can guess from the name.

From the first episode of another 80s show, Galaxy High School, a bulldog turns into a two-legged dog-man.

In episode 24 of The Men in Black cartoon, Agent K turns into a well-muscled rock humanoid at the 6:05 mark.

More for the muscle-growth fans: a bulking-up from the film Heavy Metal.

And one more treat for muscle-growth fans--a scene from the 2006 cartoon Biker Mice From Mars (Season 4, episode 3; "The British Invasion"), wherein mouse-man Stoker transforms into a feral rat-like monster when exposed to sunlight. The scene begins at 1:06 and continues past the opening credits, with a reversion at 11:08.

A humanoid-dragon morph from the manga Kajika by Akira Toriyama.

A dinosaurian TF from the manga Animal X (Vol.01 Ch.02 "Aragami no Ichizoku").

No update would be complete without a NSFW entry, and this one is from a doujinshi called Saimin Sennouen, which has two transformation scenes. In the first (starting here) a man has a bear mask placed on his head, which transforms him into a metaphorical bear and then a literal one. In the other story, a guy is turned into a Minotaur/bull (the artwork's by Nojo).

Daymon was also curious if anyone knew the source anime of a certain muscle-growth gif.

If you enjoyed these clips and scans (you'd be crazy if you didn't!) please thank Daymon!

Ferals (Werewolf Transformations)

I gave up on this comic after finding no transformations in the first several several issues, but Far23 persisted and sent me these pages from the final issues (17-18). The scans are in Spanish.

Thank you Far23!

Rick and Morty (Monster/Muscle-Growth Transformation)

Thanks to Jesse for suggesting this scene and to Serpentstooth for locating the video. It's from season 2, episode 10. Trying to put it in context would just be futile, so enjoy. 

EDIT: the original link is dead, but the transformation can be seen at Dutchbull's TF Dimension. 

Update postponed

 EDIT: Thanks for all your supportive comments. The update is set for 9am (pst) Nov. 7!

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but you're probably used to it by now...
I'd hoped to update the blog before Halloween, but that's not going to happen. I've been under the weather for the past few days and later this week I have to attend an out-of-state wedding (not my own, don't worry). So the update won't happen until after the first weekend of November. It would have been nice to have it on Halloween, but I suspect there will be more material if I wait another week. In the meantime, keep in mind that Dutchbull has scheduled an update for Oct. 31.

Fall Update

It's update time! Apologies for my absence. I know I promised two updates in September, but this will be the only one. However, it consists of 15 entries, which is a bit more than usual. This will also be the last update until late October, since I'm taking a vacation overseas next week. While I'm gone, make sure to check out Dutchbull's site, which updates Oct. 1, and Shadowlord Inc., which has just updated.

For this update I'd like to thank all the readers who sent their suggestions, especially Daymon. I ran out of time and had to postpone a few posts (including one on Doraemon) , but I think you'll agree that this update has plenty of good stuff!

Note: this post originally contained a video from an anime titled Call Me Tonight. However, the video was taken down by Dailymotion, and then Daymon informed me that Dragoniade had long ago uploaded the video to Shadowlord Inc under the title Pink Noise. So I urge you to watch that version instead and forget about my abortive effort. My apologies!

Klaw (Tiger, chicken, horse, goat, dog, bull, and pig transformations)

Klaw is a French comic drawn in a semi-manga style. It's the story of a teenager who finds out he can change into a tiger-man.
Let's start with the first tiger transformation, from Vol. 01. It's a bit underwhelming, but read onward:

Here's a better TF scene:

The next page shows the hero testing his powers:

Now we move on to Vol. 02. Here's a scene of the hero and his mentor reverting and transforming into their tiger forms:

Another short tiger TF:

Later we meet an elderly Asian man who can change into chicken dude:

In Vol. 03 the hero stumbles upon a dying friend and reverts to human form:

Then he absorbs his friend's goat transformation powers:

A partial tiger TF:

Followed by a tiger-horse-goat!

 Later on, our costumed hero goes from anthro-goat form to full horse:

 The next pic is only for foot and hoof fetishists!

 Let's move on to Vol. 04. Here's a classic tiger transformation:

Followed by a sudden pig TF:

Then we get a horse TF and reversion:

Our last scans come from Vol. 05. Here's a guy turning into a dog-man:

And here's a gangster becoming a bull:

The scans from Vol. 04 and 05 were from different sources and had to be reassembled by me, so forgive their choppiness.
Last but not least, if you're intrigued by this comic, Vol. 01 will be translated into English next year, so keep an eye out for tiger-men in a comic shop near you!

The Art of Ferchoburton (Various Transformations)

Ferchoburton is one of my favorite new transformation artists. His specialty is photo-manipulation, which is notoriously tricky, and his recent photomanips are among the finest I've seen, thanks to the smooth and detailed morphing, which is most evident in the natural-looking snouts and claws. Lately he's been expanded his range of species with continually impressive results. Ferchoburton is his own model as well, and his expressions and poses demonstrate are vividly dramatic. You'll need a Furaffinity account to view his gallery, but that's free and easy to obtain.

While looking at his gallery, take note of his most recent werewolf pics. They're the result of a trade with yours truly. In exchange for them I'm writing Ferchoburton a transformation story--the first draft is done, and I'll start revising it after I finish this update!

Zombillenium V.3 (Demon Transformation)

This is a follow-up to my earlier post about Zombillenium, a French comic (bande dessinée).
The Zombillenium is a theme-park populated and run by supernatural creatures. As you might remember, in Volume One a human named Aurélien was transformed into a demon and joined the park's staff. There were no transformation scenes in the second volume, but the third makes up for that. Note: these scans are in Polish.
First the demon tf:

The next page is a reversion scene:

Several pages later, Aurélien gets upset: 

 That panicky werewolf is rather cute...

Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor (Monster Transformations)

 Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor (2005-6) is part of the long-running Guyver franchise, which encompasses the source manga, an earlier anime, and a couple of live-action films. They all involve people getting turned into freaky animalistic monsters called "zoanoids."
Daymon suggested this series and volunteered to go through it for TF scenes. He came back with a truckload of material, and I can't thank him enough for his time and effort. Please give him a hand for this Herculean effort.

I decided to provide cued links to the episodes, rather than embedding them, because blogspot and youtube often mess up time cues if you embed the same video multiple times at different cues. Anyway, on with the show!

The first transformation from the first episode. Another TF occurs just a few seconds later.

The second episode has several people turning into bat-like beasts:
* Scene One
* Scene Two
* Scene Three

These are followed by transformations from:
* the third episode

* the fourth episode

* the fifth episode (the camera starts whirling around during the tf)

* the sixth episode 

* the ninth episode 

* the tenth episode

* the eleventh episode

Episode 13 splits its transformation scene. Here are the first and the second parts.

Episode 14 gives us a "zoalord" transformation while episode 16 has another moth-monster TF.

In episode 17 we get a quick tf followed by a scene of townspeople being transformed.

There's another quick TF in episode 21, and in episode 17 we see the Prime Minister transforming on TV, followed by stills of people transforming all over the world, and then a scene in the White House.
We close with the final TF, from episode 25. 

Thanks again Daymon!

Wounded (Werewolf Transformation)

Wounded is a handsome and well-made short film about a raid gone wrong and a suspect gone lycanthopic. Subtle use is made of the limited-budget special effects.

Mondaiji (Tiger Transformation)

Technically the full name of this anime is Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu Yo?
Anyway, Daymon tracked down a brief but exciting tiger transformation in episode 2:


Mondaiji Tiger Transformation Scene by kumaguma1
The video should start at the 8:51 mark.

Epic: Days of the Dinosaurs (Dingo Transformations)

Epic: Days of the Dinosaurs is an obscure Australian animated feature film from 1983. The story involves two feral children who were raised by dingoes and eventually transform into them to replace their parents. If I more time I'd make screencaps, since the transformation is well-done but too fast.


The video should be cued to the 58:00 mark. I learned of this film from a post at the Process forum by Bro4man, so the credit's his.

Producing Parker (Werewolf Transformation)

In episode 12 (season 2) of this Canadian cartoon, Simon overdoses on "man pills" and turns into wolfman. This clip was not only suggested by Daymon, but also edited by him. Many thanks!

Static Shock (Werewolf Transformation)

Here's an oldie but a goodie from the 90s animated series. Technically the character is a mutant--or, since "mutant" has racist connotations in the DC comics universe, a "metahuman"; the Static Shock cartoon avoided both terms and called them "bang-babies--but we'll just pretend he's a werewolf.


Static Shock Werewolf Transformation by kumaguma1
Thanks to Daymon for suggesting this.
