I'm very much late on this #transformation trend, but I wanted to give it time and attention! So here's my top ten (in no particular order) TFs in this very moment! Check the replies for some brief explanations and justifications, and feel free to ask me more about em!

#TFSky #TFEveryday
A meme that says "MY TF TOP 10!" at the top, with ten blank spaces filled in by my preferences, displaying a footer of "These are the species, characters, objects that I'd most love to be!" My username is written in the name field. The ten TF subjects are all accompanied with simple, lineless doodles of their heads, with no visible mouths. The TF subjects are: Alloy, the silver tarantula girl Reef, the inflatable robot spider Invi, the lavender flower goddess Taranza, the spider character from Kirby Latias, the legendary plane-like Pokemon Bernice, the monarch butterfly girl Gembot, the maid-dressed TV head robot Dryad, the elemental of Wood from the Mana series SA-TA, the satellite-themed tutorial robot from Wonder Wickets Rotom, the plasma lightning ball Pokemon The page is decorated with little pre-built doodles of things like swirls, stars, hearts, confetti, and the like.

Thanks to @nectarbatteef.bsky.social for giving me permission to post this, as this is its character! This was a lineart commission from @alsa-frontera.bsky.social that I colored up and rendered and gave funny backgrounds and effects to. I basically spent all day on this. So, I hope you all like it!
A three-part transformation sequence of a human male into an anthro silver tarantula. In the first image, the human is holding his head with a fully transformed arm and one partially transformed one, watching the beginnings of a third arm poking out from his red coat. His brown hair is also starting to tint other colors, and a pale gray mandible grows out of his mouth. The background depicts a typical small bedroom. In the second image, the human has changed much more, five of the character's six dark blue chitinous arms now visible. Each of them is three-fingered with claws tipped a lighter blue. His hair is much more blue as well, growing and restyling itself differently, as the second mandible grows in and his eyes grow and tint, gaining larger artificial lashes. A pair of smaller eyes are starting to grow above them as well, and his nose fades into his maw, while his ears grow and march up his head. The collar of his coat has converted into the beginnings of a pinkish purple ribbon with a skull design in its center. The coat itself is more of a dress shirt now, also shifting from red to purple. A large abdomen grows out from behind him, and his yellow pants are tinting pinker and merging into a skirt, flowing upwards to reveal his changed blue chitinous legs. His shoes are evaporating, revealing two-clawed feet with light blue tips like the hands. The background resembles a blurred lesbian flag on its side. In the final image, the change is finished, and the tarantula Alloy Netson is looking towards the camera rather than at herself, one of her four eyes winking as her hands pose in playful mockery of a monster. She appears to be dancing with her bare legs as well. The background depicts a neon-lit nightclub, the character presumably having been transported there in the process of her change. The signature of the commissioner has the name scratched out and replaced with Alloy's, metatexutally reinforcing the change. Ultimately, she seems happy!

A comm I got from @ghostphasemoon.bsky.social of Invi! She thinks you're pathetic.
A picture of Invi, the flower goddess. She is standing strongly with her five leafy roots, with one leaf hand over her puffed out chest while the other appears to be goading on the viewer. Her eyes are smugly looking downwards at the viewer as well. She's depicted in a featureless light blue and white plane.

A void spooder that @ownedmirrors2.bsky.social drew for me ages ago.
A drawing of a "void spider". It resembles an average spider with a fluffy face and abdomen, the silhouette of a skull present on its abdomen's back. It has eight simple legs with one joint each, and its face has two prominent eyes with four smaller additional ones on each side arranged linearly. Besides the pale eyes and the faded skull, its entire body is a single shade of black with a pale white outline.

I don't really know the science behind how I work! Back when I was still at the factory, they used to say that I was "built different". Dunno what that means. Maybe it'll help?
As for treasure, I feel like I answered this, but really shiny things like pearls are my favorites!
fluidbias.straw.page
For Reef: If you're an inflatable, how do you handle the intense pressure of the deep ocean without popping? Also, what's your favorite treasure you've found? :D

Spooder! I pretty much only like transformation, but other kinks when combined with TF can be fine too, like micro/macro or inflation or what have you. Sorry if I'm too weird of a design!

And here's my half, a TF of their own robot character. Meant to upload this earlier but was working on some other stuff eheh. Enjoy! #tftuesday #tfeveryday #tfsky
An image of a person turning into a robot wasp modeled with the colors and aesthetic of a Commodore 64. The robot body is mainly light brown-ish gray and black, and is laid out with four legs and two arms, with green wings, eyes, and stinger. The only human parts visible are one leg, arm, and eye on the viewer's left. There is also some dark red hair seen falling and fading from the body. The piece exists in a green gradient.

Oh, it's so beautiful! I assume I have you to thank for this doodle, @cindervoidz.bsky.social ? She looks stunning~
A strawpage halfbody doodle of Invi in a sketchy, yet detailed style. She is posed facing mostly forward with one vine arm on her scarf while the other extends outwards.

I did a doodle based on official art to try and cheer myself up this morning. Any joy it brought me was ruined shortly after, but I figure I might as well share it anyway.
A drawing of a Latias from a rear angle. She has Reef's pink and purple goggles and snorkel strapped around her upper head.

She doesn't strike me as a robot or mechanical in any real nature. Kind of more like some sort of spirit or elemental or fae sort of deal, despite being representative of a human invention. By the way, do you want to talk directly about her, given the large ask focus? fluidbias.straw.page
Is Miss Inky a robot or is she something else?

Hornet time! I haven't drawn her since Silksong was initially announced on that fateful Valentine's Day so long ago. But today is a time to celebrate and so here she is at long last, being maybe a tiny bit dynamic? I hope you all enjoy the piece! :3
A drawing of Hornet from Hollow Knight and Silksong. Her angular, horseshoe-like face faces to the viewer's right while her simple black legs are mid-jump in the opposite direction. Her red dress barely billows, and the arm on the viewer's left is extended outwards to grasp her long, sewing needle-like blade. The background depicts a filtered version of a grassy, mossy area in Pharloom.

She lives in a different, much more futuristic time than us, but her next year would probably be focused on keeping her partner and herself from being too in debt and finding time to relax and enjoy themselves instead of working so hard.

For Notte: What do you have in plans for 2026?

It's a rainbow bandana so maybe she's gay I dunno. Out of universe it's probably just because of painting-like vibes. I was not provided with any reasoning when the character was given to me. I'd like to try and figure stuff out but it's difficult for me and I'm not motivated for it at the moment.
What's the in-universe reason on why Miss Inky has a bandanna? Zoomed in shot of Miss Inky depicting said bandana.

Kirby Air Riders looks pretty good.

toyhou.se/34574235.jai... The character page in question! I've also attached the original art, cause it's super cool too.
Jailbreak, the Operating System Mimic. His head is a computer monitor with glowing white pupilless eyes and a jagged flowing mouth that spreads from end to end. It connects to a computer tower with a CD slot and a green power button, and the monitor also has two wirey arms extending from it, one of which ends in a mouse and the other in a USB hub. His legs are also wires that end in plugs, with two toes that resemble their prongs, though longer and sharper.

When signing up for a computer literacy class ends up with you learning first-hand how they work through their own perspective. Or something like that.

This is a TF of a new friend's OC, Jailbreak the Operating System Mimic! He has some truly creative character designs and I couldn't help myself.
An image of a human male person turning into Jailbreak, the Operating System Mimic. The left half of his head, and part of his left arm and left leg along with his rear end have been left unchanged. His head has curly hair, and the entirety of the head transitions into the artificial computer monitor head of Jailbreak in a diagonal manner rightwards. It's a simple gray monitor with a black screen and a large glowing white pupil-less eye to contrast his normal sized eye. The monitor's mouth also extends across the entire length of it. Underneath the monitor is a neck that doubles as a stand arm and fulfills the purpose of the entire upper body. The left arm sticking out from it has a hand fully transformed to resemble a computer mouse, with four fingers, one of which is still human, one is half-way into changed, and the other two are fully changed into black rubbery extensions. His right arm comes directly out of the monitor, looking like a wire that connects into a USB hub, with four fingers of its own that take the form of the USBs plugged into it. The thumb is yellow, while the other three are red, green, and blue. The stand connects to the computer proper, which is rectangular in nature, with a large glowing green power button and a slot for compact disks with blue buttons underneath. Coming out of the tower is a fully changed right leg, which resembles a wire connected to a gray brick. The "toes" of the feet are prongs for a plug, a bit sharper than the average one. His left foot is also changed into a plug, though the rest of the leg is still unchanged. The character in transition is depicted inside of an abstraction of a computer lab, and is entirely surrounded in a blue glow with jagged, glitch-like extensions jutting off of said glow.

Gosh, probably my favorites are the super shiny and super round pearls I find sometimes! Gold coins are great, but pearls are just sooooooooo round. And I'm round too, kinda, so I feel a kinship with them! Heehee. fluidbias.straw.page
To Reef: In your adventures, what was your most favorite treasure you came across?
August 14, 2025 at 6:14 PM
fluidbias.bsky.social
No, not really! My imagination is pretty limited in those kinds of ways, so I never thought of what my characters would sound like, or even tried to equate their voices to those that may or may not already exist in popular media. If any of you have any ideas, then let me know! fluidbias.straw.page
Do you have voice claims for your characters?
August 14, 2025 at 5:25 PM
fluidbias.bsky.social
Down the line yes I'll be adding more of my characters. I only wanted the essentials up there for 2025 to try and focus the art in a particular way, but it ended up just only being Reef, which while cool, I do hope I get more variety in the future! Nepós, Citrine, and my character adopts will join!
Do you have plans at adding more of your characters onto ArtFight for SF2026 or also update the profiles of your characters on toyhouse?
August 14, 2025 at 3:33 PM

I'm terrible at making my own characters talk to each other, but off the cuff... they would probably both be curious about the other, considering they are strange, inorganic forms of life, but in much different ways. They might be able to bond over that kind of connection. fluidbias.straw.page
If Miss Inky and Notte ever got into an interaction with each other, how would it play out?
August 12, 2025 at 7:41 PM
fluidbias.bsky.social
There are a lot of Gen 5 Pokémon that I love dearly. Eelektross, Chandelure, Reuniclus, Scolipede... it's hard, but I think my favorite is a tie between Leavanny and Lilligant. Leavanny especially I think has untapped potential that only a few artists have been able to harness. fluidbias.straw.page
Out of all of the Unova mons, who's your favorite?
August 12, 2025 at 4:38 PM
fluidbias.bsky.social
I've played all the Pokémon. Every main series game, yes. A good healthy amount of spinoffs, yes. I'm forever trapped in their lure. My favorite latest mon is Terapagos, thus explaining Nepós! Though, I tend to try to avoid Pokémon for TF purposes mostly cause it's too common.
fluidbias.straw.page
Have you played any Pokemon?
August 12, 2025 at 2:24 PM
fluidbias.bsky.social
Do you realize what you've just done? Calling Invi a "weed" is going to invoke some serious, terrible divine retribution in your future! Don't be surprised if everything just starts going wrong! Also like, the rest of us are artificial and I'm pretty sure Bernice wouldn't suffer from it... oh well!
This is not a question, but a pesticide trap, completely against weeds and insects!

That would be an intense vroom! Cirka is excited and terrified both of the prospect of being so fast. Maybe with the right rider for control it'd be less scary?
