So a few days ago, I posted my most original TF trigger I ever drew.
If you didn't see my recent post, here it is. Check it out: Shiny Green Eevee TF TG by LCA1998 

Looking back how many comments and favs I received from this comic, it got me thinking about the tf community again.
I know some of the popular artists left the community and nowadays, I start to see the same triggers, results, problems, etc. It could be the artist's art style or it could how popular the results occur (Eevee, Pikachu, Umbreon, vulpines, furries, etc). They're popular, yes, and very well known because they're cute, cool, or something we feel affiliated to. Other than the results of the tf, I'm very bothered by the triggers. Some of the most common triggers are syringes, goo, food, and magic. They can make sense in a more fictional and scientific sense and are very well known because it takes something simple and combines that to a tf-sense. 

However, the way most tf artists use the triggers turns out to be sloppy, confusing, and choppy. Sure plaster some goo on someone or curse a victim and the trigger will do it's thing but is it just me or isn't it...... lazy? I can't say that the tf community is dying but all I can say is that the tf community is starting to lose me with creativity. TBH, I don't know why coming up with a new tf trigger is that hard and considering there are tons of fun possibilities; it's possible to make tf very interesting in a different way.

Is it really that hard? 

I'll list some for you to use:
1. Texting (W"TF" )
2. T.able F.lipping 
3. Water Transferring Printing (look it up)
4. Skin Shedding (Blossom your inner OC/ being like a snake idk... )
5. Augmented Reality

It's not that hard if you think about it. (probably one of the ideas listed had already been used)

I mean, I would like to see some nice tfs but I don't like to see tf artists following popular tf artists because they gain more attention or their art styles are better. Time, effort, and a little thought is what it takes to make some of the original tfs and it's triggers.


Also, I'm canceling Change of Heart. I'm just gunna draw full body pics instead. Have fun.

Once I TF'd someone through the power of Pepsi. There is truly no limit.
Altough the needle may have been more of the cause.
