Description

*1. Whether born what you were or afflicted, show us your first transformation, and what it was like.

"The date is September 4th, time 7:24am...Approximately forty five minutes after sunrise." She peered into the lens of her camcorder, blinking back the tears that were threatening to spill over. Her voice was hoarse and strained, trembling in her chest. Her veins were burning and her bones radiated an immense ache that was nearly blinding. Her hair was tangled and matted, sticking to her bare flesh which was damp with a cold sweat as she sat against the base of the tree, trying to steel herself to the violent shaking that was causing the camera to jostle in her hands. She took another shaky breath, closing her eyes briefly till she was certain she could hold herself together. Always brave...Even in the face of absolute emotional chaos. "I am here at the clearing where I was attacked by...I don't know. A bear? A dog? A..." She couldn't make herself say human being. She swallowed hard, the lump in her throat aching. "I thought perhaps I had discovered some new species. The eighth wonder of the world or something. Ha...I actually thought I'd found some miracle animal that could cure ailments. Instead I contracted...Rabies? I don't know!" She looked off to the side, the camera blurring as it tried to maintain focus despite her unsteady grasp on it. "I'm sick. I'm really sick, and...I don't know what to do. I can't just go to the hospital and tell them 'Oh hey, I turned into a monster last night, got any asprin?' They'd put me in the ward. I would put me in the ward. I should be in a ward, oh god..." he voice cracked and she hung her head breathing heavily to try and steady herself. "This isn't real life...This doesn't happen in the real world. This is a cheesey movie made in the 1940's. This is a holloween fable, a- A story parents tell their kids to freak them out on stormy nights when the power is out! People don't turn into giant monster dogs under full moons! ITS NOT REAL." Her heart raced violently, and she tried to quell her panic as she fumbled the camera and nearly dropped it, catching it right before it hit the ground. She steadied it out infront of her again, taking slow breaths. "Something has happened to me...I...Changed last night. Into some sort of monster. I could hear and smell everything. I was- am starving, but for meat...For raw fresh meat. More so than what I documented before, not just grocery market stuff. I wanted something living, breathing...What if I had come across a hiker? What if I did to someone what that thing did to me?" The fear in her voice was audible, and tears welled up in her green eyes once again. "I have to find out whats happening to me...If this is real...If I am now some monster out of a fairytale, then that thing that got me is too, and that means there are more...And I have to find them and get answers." She sighed, and this resolution seemed to steady her some, and she stared down at her lap for a long moment while the camera recorded her. She then looked up, her face grave and her tone grim. "My name is Nhu Doanh...And I am Curt Siodmak's Wolfman." And then the camera clicked off.

So there it is, Nhu's first transformation. At first I thought to just write out the change itself, but that seemed boring. And since Nhu documents all her findings and incidents, I thought it would be cool to instead write out her recordings of her experiences for her ranks. I'm gonna try to do this for each one, I think. Hopefully they'll get better, I know this one is sort of blah. But I must say, I'm feeling a little stupidly proud of this background. I know it isn't anything special, and that it looks kind of cheap, but it looks like a background, and that's all I can ask for really, haha. The pose was referenced mostly by me laying in front of my mirror and with some assistance from google. There is still plenty wrong with it anatomically, but I don't hate it. And I hope you all won't hate it either, lol. ENJOY!

I think this is amazing, and the writing is just fantastic and goes really well with the character, she stays in character the entire time, no changes in the way she is, which is awesome. I also think the pose is fantastic, and shows a lot of pain, and I love the coloring, not normally colors I see in lots of your art.

This is fantastic :) So don't even doubt it for a minute.
