THE COAST IS NEAR

The technically-SFW blog for the-coast-is-near. If my art or characters seem familiar then you probably know me as someone else. Hi! Expect TF stuffs but hopefully nothing above an R-15 rating.

Remember, the Rito are big fellas, so if you're planning on doing a mask-transformation into one, make sure your clothes are already large and loose enough for your new form.

Inspired by this pic by @tinypigdraws which in turn was inspired by this pic by Reysyu02.

Featuring the "modern dragon knight" getup.

The lineart, and an edited portrait for socials, because I really like how the lines and expression came out.

Well! Today marks 10 years since I publicly posted my first-ever TF art: TFing my self-insert into a shiny Feraligatr. I decided to remake that pic to show how far I've come since then.

Sincere thanks to everyone who's been following me for so long, who's encouraged me to keep going with this.

Werepterosaur concept (2020)

I stand by the weird choice of em keeping their human ears. Werecreatures are good when they keep uncanny human features

Commission for fiorina on bluesky of Yannis, a were-yautja, and his yautja form Ya'an. This was a fun concept (apparently inspired by JT and Jagged-Tooth, which I think is really neat haha)

boring regular guys who have nothing interesting going on with them at all can also be tfd and have various things happen to them

How do you feel about like, Ratman but horror instead of silly

I mean the funny thing is I already sort of think of Ratman in a horror sense GUKJFDNFD At the end of the day, despite how goofy silly I end up making him (because I love my goofy silly men), he still is ultimately a monster with monstrous tendencies.

Old art alert, but these pics in particular come to mind with the "Ratman isn't always angry when he's violent, sometimes he just plain will not understand the issue with enacting violence onto people unceremoniously with little to no remorse."

I think another aspect of why I tend to think of Ratman with a horror lens is the quite literal body horror that his transformations (90% of the time) put Tim through.

He also encompasses two of Tim's fears in the most literal sense possible.

So I just personally have never NOT thought of Ratman with a horror skew, despite maybe not emphasizing it a ton. He encompasses a lot of things as he's developed over the years (a coping mechanism, growth, self-love, a literal manic pixie dream girl boy for Tim, etc.), but the horror aspect is still in full swing with him, at least in my mind!

He contains multitudes!

If you mean fully horror with no nuances, I'd personally find it kind of boring. I'm not particularly interested in like. Creature feature movies, where there's just a mindless, rampaging monster, and I don't think I'd be a fan of that for Ratman especially, considering him having a semblance of personality is a HUGE facet of what I like about him!

I’ve never drawn a proper [Tim] to [Ratman] transformation sequence, so I decided to take a crack at it! It gets real gross! But he’s okay!!

Also bonus “stuck halfway” sketch too because I love that kind of monster-y, janked up body stuff! ù_ú)
