#partial transformation

[winguontheweb]

The third member of this TUSverse West Coast Expansion is Riptide!! A big enemy to Puffer-Fist and the west coast in general! He's a gigantic and strong guy who, as if he needed any help, can ALSO partially transform into a shark, AND swings around an anchor, like, holy fuck, calm down dude??

You ever uh -

ever like, take yourself out at the knees with your own writing?

I mean, yeah, everyone does. At some point. Several times, I'm sure but like.

(Marco transforming just his tongue.)

Just.

I mean.

“You liked it, yoi.” Marco asserts as Izou steps away. You look over when Ace crumples to the floor to catch his breath and see Marco’s long phoenix tongue snake out from between his lips and wiggle at Izou.

Could we see later versions of some of the clones’ transformations, not long before they’re complete? No pressure though!

Like with Cody, some of these vary in pleasantness depending on just how long they take. Fives has it the worst out of this particular lot since he has to grow a lot.

Welp, needed to draw a hawk Homunculus, and there is already a character who fits that description (though specifically an Eastern Buzzard Homunculus). Probably the only Homunculus in-canon who's treated with any sympathies (which only serves to confuse the themes... and the explanation of what Homunculi even are in the series XD). Washio's design in canon was wretched when it came to his full-on hawk form. It was at the point where the maker clearly was rushing along and didn't want to bother with complex organic character designs--so Washio ended up looking like a big helicopter with robotic hawk legs and a painfully badly-proportioned hawk head/weird visor for human-like head. This rushing is probably also the reason his true hawk form was barely used, and Washio became the Homunculus character with the rare ability to partially transform between humanoid disguise and giant hawk monster. It became more like drawing a simplistic anime hoomen just with a big weapon--instead of bothering with his actual full form. Which means I have to redesign Washio's partially-shifted form too. Which is good. I do like Washio quite a bit as he is, and since he is actually slightly developed I need to do little to tweak his personality besides adding different backstory. 

And here's his partway form--not something that just any Homunculus can do. It takes quite a lot of extra energy to maintain for long periods, but he is much more agile and is less of a target without very much sacrifice in strength. Due to this, you would really only see Washio like this if he intends on getting into a massive fight (probably only with a Weapons' Alchemist... or perhaps a rogue Homunculus). There have been some minor design alterations besides him being far more of an organic being. Notably, the point where his taloned arms and wings split is much higher up his arm. While weird-as-all-get-out anatomical features are pretty ordinary for Homunculi--having fully articulated wings and clawed arms that split at the elbow, but are still individually dextrous... uh, physically didn't make sense. They now split at the shoulder and the proportions are fixed up so that it looks feasible. Still weird-as-all-get-out, but feasible for an alchemy life form. XD

Spent three days and half the nights working on this. Sleep deprived but proud! This is for an fanfic AU I came up with that I'm in the process of writing. Hope to post soon!
