Artist's Comments

"..because shape-shifting HURTS, you fool!"

I don't know where this came from - just a random doodle I suppose.


Blackjack carries two magic rings: the Ring of Illusion and the Ring of Change. The former simply makes him appear human through a glamour spell, the latter actually changes his form.
Black' prefers not to use either, but sometimes his usual appearance can prove 'inconvenient'.

He doesn't like to use the Ring of Change, firstly because he doesn't like being removed even further from his dracoform than he already is, and secondly because the pain of having spikes sticking out through yer skin, muscles tearing and reforming and a pair of bloody great wings and a tail ripping out of your back etc etc tends to render one overcome with pain and therefore vulnerable.


There were more pictures to the sequence, but I didn't like them so you're only getting these four :P There also was going to be more blood... but I couldn't be bothered with it.

Very nice, I like it a lot! :) I've always felt that transoformation would be painful, especially from human to dragon/demon things. Yet no one made it so, that I saw, and it seemed all natural and just "pop"

Freakin right it hurts. Heheh. I love shapechange sequences! And the wings in the last panel are killing me with their pointy goodness + awesome pose.

Transformation isn't just a few magic words and then 'poof' the change is done in a puff of smoke.
You certainly convey his reaction well.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup
