Lost with a new body (Patreon)

Monster Folk had been a bit of a problem for the most part ever since they appeared. Lacking a sense of civilization like humans, monster folk tended to roam around forests, ruins of cities, and their other natural environments. while some are docile and curious enough to approach people with friendly intentions, usually, when humans wander too far into their territories, they find themselves attacked by the overly excited monster people. 

These beautiful and often adorable monsters find it hard to control themselves when it comes to humans and delight in trying to 'convert' them, by swallowing them up in a certain way that allows the poor victim to be transformed inside their bodies. 

This young boy was no different. Having gotten himself lost in the forest, he'd narrowly escaped some other monsters, but became the victim of a naga. Soon after, he found himself slowly waking as he was released, being gently lowered to the forest floor as a long serpentine body followed.

For a while, he was confused and a little scared, but his new tail was rather stunning, so maybe it wouldn't be all bad. And he couldn't remain sitting in the forest forever, so now, the still lost and anxious boy with a brand new body began moving through the forest, wondering if he could find his way home, and if he'd even be welcome there any more. At least if all else fails, he could still be welcome here in the forest among the other monster folk.

Here are the other versions, including uncensored and backgroundless: https://sta.sh/2qtqt37jwca?edit=1

This took me ages to finish XD Clip Studio really started to get grumpy with me after doing the background and having way too many layers XD
Also damn the background and general atmosphere and colour balancing was so hard >.<

But it was fun! And I'm really happy with how this looks like omg. I hope the lining and colours did it justice too haha. Been working on it a little too long to tell. But the sketch was great!
