A commissioned image of Kim McConnor-Schwarzkopf looking at herself before and after her life shattering transformation. Neither who she was nor who she becomes are quite able to believe the appearance of the other. This piece was done by the absolutely incredible and highly recommended Fuytski who can be found here:

Here is a brief summary to hopefully get you interested!

Over millennia the human species has cemented itself as the dominant life form on planet Earth. As their appetite for technology and the comforts of modern life grew, warning signs of how they treated each other and the only world they knew to harbor life became increasingly dire.

From across a gulf of space and time beyond human understanding another civilization had taken notice. A terrible cost and a cataclysmic change would soon arrive on Earth. Brought to prevent a tragic slide that these inscrutable observers had all too often seen since their own beginning in a time that the stars themselves have forgotten.

This story begins with the Schwarzkopf family in a small town in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States of America. Learn, as this family will, how all action comes with a cost, and how every choice has consequence. Learn of the terrible upheaval that upends the lives of all. Learn as that upheaval twists members of this tight knit family into new and impossible bodies that resemble fairy tale monsters given life.

A dark tale of the dreadful results on society of first contact with aliens. Aliens, who quickly make it known that they are not pleased with humanity's choices. After painful life shattering change ripples across the world tearing untold numbers from the birthright of their species, the human race is given a choice, and a last chance.

The story has societal change, first contact, aliens, dragons, some transformations, and family bonds. Give it a read if you're looking for an entertaining story!
