Hmmm. He's not freaking out about the tentacles though, which.. it feels like that's what the page is saying. =/ I mean, yeah, he's noticing the tentacles, but most of him is still too focused on The One That Got Away to really pay attention. Frustrated rage trumps weird body-warping. XD;
Possibly I should have gone with 'Haaaa!' instead.

THE EYES.
THE EARS.
THE SHADING.
THE CLAWS LASKJ;FASDF
And haha, rage first! React to the ~other~ stuff once he can start thinking clearly again.
(AND YOU CAN SEE THE SPOT-THINGS ARE COMING OUT. SORRY, I DON'T HAVE WORDS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE YEEEEEEY!)
YESSSSSSSSS <3333333
*purrrrrrrr* I kind of wanted to do nothing but transformation sequence for like, five pages, but the story wanted to keep moving so. XD;;;
ffff, yep. He's nooooot thinking clearly right now.
(<33333333333333 XD Man if this were animated there'd be this lovely sequence where his legs split and split again and then the red markings bloom like patterns of blood spatter or rose petals from waist to tip)
LOVE THE SHADING HERE. Holy wow.
It does kind of look like a tentacle-related ‘aaaa’ but I can definitely see why he’d be more bothered by rage. He has strange priorities sometimes. That looks like a painful transformation. I love the way the patterning is appearing as the tentacles grow.
Thank you! 🙂
Yeah, the transformation is definitely a quick and dirty thing – it has a lot of power behind it, but it’s pretty much brute-forcing it’s way though Beast.
I love the the movement in the second panel, how he’s fallen down and you can see him clawing at the bed or whatever it is. My first thought was kind of a squeal (I didn’t know thoughts could squeal) that I think translated roughly as pretty.
My second thought (unchivalrously enough) was that we’re kind of looking up Beast’s ‘skirt’ in that same panel. The squeal promptly turned into a giggle, sorry. I still think the page is really awesome though. And I love your description of the markings blooming like blood spatter or rose petals. That comparison seems to pretty much sum up what we’ve seen of Beast’s personality so far.
Thank you! XD I wanted to do some dramatic shots with this page, and I’m happy it worked <3
*snerk* It's true, we're getting an up-kilt shot.
