== Discussion Originally Misplaced in Page Header ==

Hello friends, I wish I had come here earlier as the forums are well organized and I look forward
to gaining further knowledge and sharing my experiences. Ive been reading the posts and learning
quite a bit from the members.

:Forums? You might have the wrong site :P
:Shifti is a wiki, and we do strive to have it structured in a very coherent and easy to understand manner.
:Anyway… Shifti exists for authors and fans alike. If you really enjoy the site, you could help [[Shifti:Site support|support it]]. And you can also register and contribute your own works. [[User:ShadowWolf|ShadowWolf]] 01:30, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

::Yes, this is more than a little odd. The poster might have at least left a name. I'm inclined to think of ''unsigned'' comments outside of user and story pages as spam and thus deletable. --[[User:JonBuck|Buck]] 02:59, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

:::Nah, unsigned usually either means the user forgot to add the tildes or isn't bothering because he isn't logged in anyway. I see nothing inherently wrong with unsigned comments in general (though I do add signatures for them simply to make it easier to keep track of conversations). In this particular case, though, the commenter does seem to be a little confused about the nature of Shifti. :) [[User:Bryan|Bryan]] 03:22, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

==Inverse mermaids and idea banks==

Not sure where this belongs; it seems as though this René Magritte painting, [http://www.abcgallery.com/M/magritte/magritte57.html ''Collective Invention'' (1934)], is crying out for a story to go with it. --[[User:Trismegistus Shandy|Trismegistus Shandy]] 22:12, 4 May 2008 (EDT)

:Heh! If there's no good place to put something like this, how about we create one? I'm thinking an [[ideas and inspirations]] page (or some similar page title) where random tidbits like this could be listed. With the understanding that ideas posted there could be used freely by other authors, and that the contents of the page may be pruned or archived over time if it gets cluttered, it'd serve as a general forum-like sort of place. Joysweeper's recently been working on a personal "idea bank", as an example - see [[Joysweepers Incoherent Idea Bank]]. Though that's explicitly intended as for-Joysweeper-only. [[User:Bryan|Bryan]] 23:45, 4 May 2008 (EDT)

:: *grins* Hooray recognition! At any rate, a public idea bank doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'd still want to keep my own, if only because I've planted so much Capslove and weird excited ranting that it would kind of start taking over. My Idea Bank is just a garden of story-seeds and things that get me motivated when I'm stuck; a public one could consist of more pictures like above. Oh, and story prompts. That reminds me, I really should stick those in. --[[User:Joysweeper|Joysweeper]] 23:57, 4 May 2008 (EDT)

Web comics

2016-03-03T19:30:53Z

TheAkashicTraveller: /* Skin Deep */

The web comics listed on this page all feature transformation themes, or have had plots in their runs with significant transformation content.

== Transformation as main theme ==

=== The Accidental Centaurs ===

http://www.accidentalcentaurs.com - by John Lotshaw.

Two people from our world are transported by an accident during a physics experiment to an alternate world where humans don't exist, becoming centaurs in the process. Other transformations occur as the story progresses. ''As of October 2008 this comic appears to have ended.'' There was a 9 page encore crossover with ''The Wotch'' posted around April 2009 at the same address.

This strip was rebooted with the same artist at the same address in 2011. The artwork is similar, but the story has been altered somewhat.

=== Alpha Luna ===

http://alphaluna.net - by Leonardo Vidal.
First page http://alphaluna.net/issue-1/cover/

A comic series published in Chile about Luna, a 19 years old girl who discovers she is a werewolf. Once a week update schedule since 2011.

=== Black Tapestries ===

http://blacktapestries.keenspace.com/ - by Jakkal.

Lore, a drifter, is cursed with immortality and werefox lycanthropy by the ex-Order magic user Isaac. Contains both a good deal of transformation content and a good deal of violence.
The author is restarting the comic [http://blacktapestries.com/ here].

=== Boston and Shaun ===

http://bostonandshaun.comicgenesis.com/archives.html - By Shaun Reveal (1999-2002 old archives)

http://www.bostonandshaun.com/ - By Shaun Reveal (current page)

Shaun has a dragon "soul mate" named Boston with whom he can merge. I know little about this comic so others will have to fill in the details, but apparently the comic's continuity underwent a major reboot after number 850 and the quality declined. This URL goes to an archive of the first 850 strips.

=== The Changing Workplace ===

http://www.taur.net/~ottercomics/tcw/ - By Oren Otter

Oren's 'original' TSA webcomic, currently being rerun. Transformations of all sorts abound.

=== Clan of the Cats ===

http://clanofthecats.com/ - by Jamie Robertson, edited by Alex Byrne and Miranda Prince.

A long-running story about a witch who is also a werepanther.

=== Crowfeathers ===

http://crowfeathers.net/crowfeatherscomic/archive.php by SageBrush

Long running (since 2004) comic set primarily in the old west. Starts in the modern day with a crow realizing that he is actually Chase Corbeau, who was born in the old west. Definitely mature themes and action. Done in a comic book style with very good artwork.

=== Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures ===

http://www.missmab.com/ - by Amber M. Panyko

A popular furry webcomic. One of the races of the world - "Cubi" - are shapeshifters.

=== Demon Eater ===

http://www.demoneater.com/ - by Jilly Foo

About demons that eat other demons to change form and become stronger. Main character starts out as a glob, then a lizard, bird then a human like form.

=== Discordia ===

http://www.discordiacomic.com/ By Arroyo and Fanning

Drew Sinclair's life is changed forever when an angry ex-girlfriend accidentally unleashes Eris, the Greek goddess of discord, on the condition that Drew is her first target. ''Note: This comic has had very sporadic updates in 2007.''

=== El Goonish Shive ===

http://elgoonishshive.com/ - by Dan Shive.

Tedd and Elliot are the main characters, though there's an extensive supporting cast with multiple shapeshifter. Tedd is a typical androgynous transformation-obsessed high school student whose father is a Man In Black with access to alien technology, including a "transformation gun" - quite convenient considering Tedd's personality. The TF content of this comic is heavy, but not gratuitous.

=== Endtown ===

http://www.gocomics.com/endtown/ - by Aaron Neathery

It's the end of the world... The surface of the Earth has been reduced to dust by horrific disintigration weapons. Some survivors, mutated into furrys, hide in an underground city from vicious, unmutated Topsiders. The comic is sprinkled with surprising amounts of humor given the subject matter.

=== Exiern ===

http://www.exiern.com/index.php - by Drowemos

A slightly tongue-in-cheek comic about an angry barbarian who rescues a princess from an evil wizard only to be transformed into an angry blond barbarian maiden. There are also fairly big hints that a relatively new character might be more than he seems. Appears to have a relatively sporadic update schedule.

=== High School Changed Me ===

http://hscm.msfhigh.com/index.php - by Gordon McVey

A comic that involves a teenage ghost that is somewhat accidently captured and enrolled in a high school filed with magical creatures. It appears to be a reboot of an older comic and has had some gender changes with the set up being ripe for other transformations. The comic is on hiatus untill the author can find a new artist.

=== Last Days of Foxhound ===

http://www.gigaville.com/listcomic.php - by Chris

This is a fan comic that is a parody of Metal Gear and features Liquid Snake and his Foxhound group. One of them is a disguise artist that never reveals his true face. Transformation into different men and some of women and a wolf.

=== Misfile ===

http://www.misfile.com/ - by Chris Hazelton.

A loser angel working in a dead-end job causes a mixup in the Heavenly Archives, misfiling the formerly-male high school student Ash under "female" and losing the most recent two years of Emily's life. The two have to deal with their changed situations until the angel can get back into Heaven to fix it, and keep it a secret so that the Heavenly Bureaucracy doesn't cover up the error by making it permanent.

=== Murry & Lewy ===

http://murryandlewy.com/ - by Darin

Intermittently updated comic about two guys that get transformed into women after going to a strip club. The comic has had other transformations shown.

=== Narbonic ===

http://narbonic.com/ - by Shaenon K. Garrity.

Fresh out of university with a computing degree, Dave goes to work for the mad scientist Helen B. Narbon of Narbonic Labs. Storylines have included a couple of TG transformations, undeath, a brief cyborg transformation, a gerbil-to-werehuman, and in a series of Sunday specials a human-to-Venusian brain transplant. Narbonic concluded in 2007 and the entire archive is now available free at [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/narbonic/toc.php webcomicsnation.com].

===New World ===

http://www.tfsnewworld.com/

Sometimes sporadic in its updates, this comic features two parallel universes; one highly magical and one highly technological. The arch-wizard Nicoli, most powerful being in the magical universe, becomes bored and travels to the technological one. Adventures and transformations ensue in both realities, most prominently a TG foxmorph in the magical world.

Scott Clements, the author and artist of New World has announced its permanent retirement as of early 2008. The www.tfsnewworld.com site is currently running Scott's next webcomic work entitled Spiderwebs in which Scott has promised there will be a nontrivial amount of transformation. The nature of such transformation has not yet been specified, and as of December 7th, 2008 there has not yet been a transformation in the Spiderwebs comic. Spiderwebs, however, is still very early in its infancy and is currently working to introduce the characters and setting. Transformations are likely to follow once this introductory period ends.

=== The Office Bitch ===

By Picklejuice

http://picklejuice.comicgenesis.com

Follow Toby on a bizarre journey through office life - if you were very slowly changing into a dog. Mature content.

=== Panthera ===

http://www.pantheracomic.com/

by D.Z. McRoy, J. Bennett, Jeffrey Kan, Andrew Ziehl

A weekly webcomic about a group of four high school students with the ability to transform into one of four big cats (lion, tiger, panther, jaguar) each with a power over an element of nature (wind, fire, water, earth) and their fight to help bring justice to the world. The comic contains large amounts of transformation mixed in with frequent gunfire and large explosions.

=== Paradigm Shift ===
http://www.paradigmshiftmanga.com/

By Dirk Tiede - A Chicago policewomen who was 'accidentally' turned into a werewolf during a medical study has to go on the run from the government. Also features a werelion.

=== Peter is the Wolf ===

http://www.wlpcomics.com/adult/peter/index.html

Lots of werewolves live secretly in our midst. Every once in a while, though, one of them screws up and accidentally converts a human into one of their own. This is the story of one such incident.

=== Planet Closest to Heaven ===

http://www.drunkduck.com/The_Planet_Closest_To_Heaven/ - By Jilly Foo

Macho 19 year old man gets turned into a cat-dog by his partner for abusing his powers. Becomes the pet of a brother and sister with strange abilities.

===Quest of the Therian Urn===

http://www.taur.net/~ottercomics/qotu

Bob was given a seemingly innocent jar which turned out to have magical powers. It transformed whatever was put inside. He didn't realize that it was stealing his humanity as well. Now he and his four friends, having been turned into animals, seek a way to destroy the urn and reclaim their identities.

=== Room for One More ===

http://www.taur.net/~ottercomics/rfom/ - By Oren Otter and Eala Dubh

Fnaire Antbear, an anteater college student, resides in a huge mansion filled with bizarre characters and situations, and even an extradimensional world or two. On the surface a college-based furry comic, a large cast and many significant TF plotlines and characters run throughout.

=== Sea of Insanity ===

http://fractuslux.keenspace.com/

Ancient creatures and deities of myth never really died out, they just went into hiding as the modern world forgot them. In this webcomic a young man named Finn becomes the roommate of a water nymph named Isle. A regular supporting character has been cursed by Bacchus to turn into a fish every 6 hours or so but so far this hasn't become central to the plot.

=== Skin Deep===

http://www.webcomicsnation.com/korybing/skindeep/series.php - by Kory Bingaman

Michele is a new college student who, after finding a magical medallion, discovers to her surprise that her true form is actually that of a sphinx and that her new friends are also various mythological creatures cloaked in magical illusion.

Now here: http://www.skindeepcomic.com

=== Stand Still, Stay Silent ===

http://www.sssscomic.com/index.php - by Minna Sundberg

About 90 years into the future, a plague has wiped out the vast majority of humanity. The plague didn't kill, it transformed all mammals it touched into monsters. The only known country to survive was Iceland, thanks to closing its boarders at the start of the plague, along with pockets of the other Scandinavian nations. After a long prologue in the present day, the story is about a small band going into what they call "The Silent Lands" to see what has happened. So far, there hasn't been much in the way of on-screen transformation, but the art is beautiful, the architecture and machinery are drawn with meticulous precision, while still retaining the cracks and ravages of time, and the possibility of transformation seems likely. If you like transformation in the style of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Space_(video_game) Dead Space] that is.

=== Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki ===

http://www.sgvy.com/ - by Kittyhawk

A young male anime fan is abruptly turned into a Valkyrie, a magical girl who must defend Earth against monsters from Norse mythology. Updates infrequently.

=== Spinnerette ===

http://krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/

A tounge-in-cheek superhero comic that centers around a young woman who grows extra arms and the ability to spin spider silk after being in a lab accident. The comic has a number of superhero origin story type transformations. And good artwork to boot.

=== Subject To Change ===

http://subjecttochange.comicgenesis.com/ - by Picklejuice

As the title implies, the subject is to change. Transformation of man to dogboy, and growth of boy to giant dogboy. Will feature other transformations in the future. In color. All ages content.

=== Urgent Transformation Crisis===

http://urgentcrisis.comicgenesis.com/ - by Jim Whaley

Cashmere is the 18-year-old daughter of a wealthy family, and she goes to an exclusive school whose students are among the best and brightest. She gets roped into taking her younger brother Flint to the school science fair, where things go somewhat awry.

=== The Werewif ===

http://www.gwydhar.com/comics/werewif/index.shtml - by Michael Wakcher and Gwydhar Bratton

A young man at a bar is bitten by a strange woman, who identifies herself as "the Werewif". After that, he discovers himself transforming into a woman when the moon is full. The story concluded with fairly satisfying closure after 32 episodes.

=== Wickedpowered===

http://www.wickedpowered.com/ - by Owen Gieni & Chris Crosby

A fast-paced (almost to the point of disjointedness) sci-fi romp featuring three female time-travellers who come from the future to rescue Wiley, destined to become history's "manliest man", from assassination. Has so far featured both transgender and furry TFs.

=== The Wotch ===

http://thewotch.com/ - by Anne Onymous and Eric Robertson.

''The Wotch'' follows the adventures of a high school girl who discovers that she is the "Wotch" - some form of high-powered sorceress with a portentious fate. This comic abounds with all manner of transformations, though TG is perhaps most common among them.

=== The Wotch: Cheer! ===

http://cheer.thewotch.com/ - by Tselsebar

This webcomic is a "spin off" of The Wotch by a fan, following the four jocks who were TGed and became cheerleaders after Anne's "women's lib" side went on an unfettered rampage in the main comic. There haven't been any apparent TFs yet and the main characters aren't aware they used to be guys, but considering the universe it shares they seem inevitable. The art is quite well done.

=== Zebra Girl ===

http://zebragirl.keenspot.com/ - by Joe England.

Sandra is turned into a demon by a magical accident. A later storyline also featured werewolves, introducing one as a regular character.

== Transformation plotlines ==

=== Absurd Notions ===

http://www.absurdnotions.org/page50.html

This is sort of a second-order storyline - the characters of Absurd Notions are playing a sword-and-sorcery roleplaying game, and in it one of their characters has just tampered with a magical artifact and turned herself into a squirrel. She remains a squirrel for the remainder of the adventure, with many implications explored.

=== Bullfinch ===

http://bullfinchcomic.com/2008/11/05/2008-11-05-bf/

A relatively new (mid-2008) modern-fantasy comic about an office populated by various fantasy characters from myth though modern fiction. In a short arc, K.C. Rankin is transformed into a squirrel for the weekend as punishment for calling his unicorn office-mate a "mutant horse". The comic is fairly new, but given the theme and setting, it seems future transformation is likely.

=== Dandy & Company ===

http://www.dandyandcompany.com/2007/01/22/ - By Derrick Fish

A boy and his dog swap roles. In fact, every boy and dog in the world swap roles, though only Dandy and Bernard are aware of it.

After going though the archives back to 2001, the comic actually has a number of other, smaller transformation themed plots scattered through the series. These include a couple of "fourth wall" fights with the cartoonist, a past Halloween arc where a human character became a werewolf (or rather, a heckhound), evil doppelgangers that invent a transformation device, and a demon character that can apparently change shape and grant twisted wishes.

=== Eerie Cuties ===

http://www.eeriecuties.com/d/20100721.html

A fairly new comic that takes place at a high school for supernatural creatures. Not primarily about transformation, but one of the main characters is a werewolf, and one of the major plotlines (and its consequences) involves TG.

=== Fans ===

http://www.faans.com/books1-6/index.php?p=691

A prose story between book 1 and book 2 of the comic involves a body swap of sorts between two of the main characters. Later on, an improved version of the same body-swapping technology is used several times in books 6 and 7. Later still, a time-travelling future version of one of the main characters has undergone an unexpected transformation.

=== Furthia High ===

http://furthiahigh.concessioncomic.com/index.php?pid=20090508

The reincarnated comics about last human boy on furry-changed society. There are some episodes with TF, which are happen to be dreams.

=== Gunnerkrigg Court ===

http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=230

This chapter features a romantic interlude with a transformational twist. Later, the shapeshifting demigod Coyote plays a major role, and there are some fairies who transform into humans.

=== It's Walky! ===

http://www.itswalky.com/d/20030825.html

This chapter is nigh-incomprehensible without having read the rest of the comic. The Walkyverse isn't friendly to casual browsing.

=== Order of the Stick ===

http://giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=175

Order of the Stick is a webcomic poking fun at the foibles of the [[WikiPedia:D20_System|d20 game system]] used by Dungeons and Dragons. In this storyline our intrepid adventurers encounter an Annis (or possibly a Green Hag) who hexes the gender-ambiguous elf mage Varsuvius with a ''baleful polymorph'' spell, turning him into a lizard. He remains a lizard for a while.

http://giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=9

Ah, the famous [[WikiPedia:Dungeons & Dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]] magic item, the [[WikiPedia:Girdle of Femininity/Masculinity|Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity]]. Order of the Stick is a webcomic that features a band of adventurers who know full well that they're operating by the d20 ruleset of 3rd edition Dungeons and Dragons, and in many cases exploit the foibles thereof. In this strip they find such a girdle after a battle with ogres, and one of the characters secretly takes it along with him. It finally came into play over two hundred strips later:

http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=233

=== PvP ===

http://www.pvponline.com/2005/11/18/fri-nov-18/

Last Halloween a bout of lycanthropy made the rounds of the characters. Turns out one of them liked it.

=== Sacred Pie ===

A long-running story about three friends who have been sucked into an interstellar sci-fi adventure battling the forces of Satan himself.

http://sacredpie.com/moon1.html - Chapter 19, "By the Light of the Moon"

In this chapter, the trio are trapped on a prison world run by a "vampire" named Var. Having won Var's respect in a previous chapter, he now assigns them to collect a bounty on a Lupine - a species with shapeshifting abilities similar to werewolves. One of our heros is bitten and gains the ability himself.

=== Schlock Mercenary ===

Book 13 of the space opera webcomic [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/pages/archives "Schlock Mercenary"] involves TG elements. Earlier (way back in book 2, comics published in 2001-2002), one of the main characters was duplicated almost a billion times. Now, the 900,000,000+ duplicates are working on ways to differentiate themselves, including mind and body modification. The TG part starts [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2011-12-25 here].

=== Sluggy Freelance ===

Another long-running and complex story, starring Torg, Riff, Zoe and Gwynn.

http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=000421

Gwynn has been secretly learning magic and in a previous storyline attempted to use a love potion on Riff. Things went embarassingly awry and Torg found out. Now Gwynn wants to keep him from revealing this information, so she casts a spell that will "make an ass of him" whenever he tries to say anything important. This causes trouble as Torg takes Zoe out for a date and then encounters Oasis, an insane ninja assassin who is in love with him and will kill anyone she thinks might be a rival for Torg's affections.

http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=001225

It's Christmas and Torg gives Zoe a necklace he picked up in an Egyptian pyramid he was trapped in with Riff some time back. Naturally, the necklace is cursed - Zoe immediately turns into a camel.

=== Wolf Wears Wool ===

http://www.wolfwearswool.com

A newly bitten werewolf teams up with a drug dealer and an herbologist to investigate strange goings-on and to apprehend supernatural troublemakers . . . And to drink lots of tea.

=== Two Kinds ===

Tantalizing hint: [http://cdn.twokinds.keenspot.com/comics/20040308.jpg 03.08.2004]
Actual TF [http://twokinds.keenspot.com/archive.php?p=678 22.08.2012] -

This webcomic appears to have a setting similar to that of Black Tapestries, a fantasy world in which there are humans and several races of furries who are at war with each other. The humans have powerful magic users called "Templars". Raine is a Human / Keidran girl. The wild nature of her magic causes her to experience physical transformations between Keidran and Human forms. These transformations are usually kept in check by artifacts enchanted to suppress her magic. Throughout her life, Raine's mother has kept her Keidran form a secret from others in the Templar order, and even Raine herself. But as Raine matures, her bestial side becomes increasingly restless from years of suppression.

http://www.abstractgender.com/ - by Aaron R. Stewart and Shawn Ullom

Two young friends explore a "haunted house", and discover that although there are no real ghosts inside it ''does'' house a nest of mad science. They're both turned into girls and set loose. Unfortunately the comic has been taken down and replaced with advertising.

Hello friends, I wish I had come here earlier as the forums are well organized and I look forward
to gaining further knowledge and sharing my experiences. Ive been reading the posts and learning
quite a bit from the members.

:Forums? You might have the wrong site :P
:Shifti is a wiki, and we do strive to have it structured in a very coherent and easy to understand manner.
:Anyway… Shifti exists for authors and fans alike. If you really enjoy the site, you could help [[Shifti:Site support|support it]]. And you can also register and contribute your own works. [[User:ShadowWolf|ShadowWolf]] 01:30, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

::Yes, this is more than a little odd. The poster might have at least left a name. I'm inclined to think of ''unsigned'' comments outside of user and story pages as spam and thus deletable. --[[User:JonBuck|Buck]] 02:59, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

:::Nah, unsigned usually either means the user forgot to add the tildes or isn't bothering because he isn't logged in anyway. I see nothing inherently wrong with unsigned comments in general (though I do add signatures for them simply to make it easier to keep track of conversations). In this particular case, though, the commenter does seem to be a little confused about the nature of Shifti. :) [[User:Bryan|Bryan]] 03:22, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

==Inverse mermaids and idea banks==

Not sure where this belongs; it seems as though this René Magritte painting, [http://www.abcgallery.com/M/magritte/magritte57.html ''Collective Invention'' (1934)], is crying out for a story to go with it. --[[User:Trismegistus Shandy|Trismegistus Shandy]] 22:12, 4 May 2008 (EDT)

:Heh! If there's no good place to put something like this, how about we create one? I'm thinking an [[ideas and inspirations]] page (or some similar page title) where random tidbits like this could be listed. With the understanding that ideas posted there could be used freely by other authors, and that the contents of the page may be pruned or archived over time if it gets cluttered, it'd serve as a general forum-like sort of place. Joysweeper's recently been working on a personal "idea bank", as an example - see [[Joysweepers Incoherent Idea Bank]]. Though that's explicitly intended as for-Joysweeper-only. [[User:Bryan|Bryan]] 23:45, 4 May 2008 (EDT)

:: *grins* Hooray recognition! At any rate, a public idea bank doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'd still want to keep my own, if only because I've planted so much Capslove and weird excited ranting that it would kind of start taking over. My Idea Bank is just a garden of story-seeds and things that get me motivated when I'm stuck; a public one could consist of more pictures like above. Oh, and story prompts. That reminds me, I really should stick those in. --[[User:Joysweeper|Joysweeper]] 23:57, 4 May 2008 (EDT)
