Linh pushed her long black hair out of her face as she rushed through the plaza of shops adjacent to campus. She’d forgotten her art supplies in her residence and didn’t have time to fetch them before class started, so she hoped to find a store that sold some. As luck would have it, she found a new student supplies shop without having to stray too far from her path to class.
Inside, Linh found an abnormal, witchy theme evocative of halloween. The grinning shopkeep was dressed as a jester: her painted face, tri-pointed jester’s hat with little bells, cartoonishly oversized white gloves, and tight, long-sleeved, nylon bodysuit of sporadic colours and patterns completed her costume. It was currently April, a far cry from halloween season, so the slightly unnerving get-up sent a chill down Linh’s spine.
“Hello! What can Cherry do for you?” The jester woman asked with just a little too much enthusiasm, gesturing to herself as she said the name ‘Cherry’.
“Hi… Do you have any paintbrushes for sale?”
“Why of course!” Cherry turned to the shelves of miscellaneous items behind her, picked out a brush collection, and placed them on the counter before Linh. “I accept payment via student card, if it pleases you~”
“Sure, thanks.”

When she arrived at class, Linh found her art subject sitting naked in the center of a circle of easels: a stunningly beautiful woman with curly brown hair that fell past her shoulders and deep brown eyes you could get lost in. Linh felt her cheeks get warm at the sight of such a gorgeous lady without any clothes on.
The visual arts student took a seat at one of the easels beside her crush: a rather tall woman named Aoife with a pretty, freckled face and wavy red hair.
‘God, I’m so gay…’ Linh thought silently to herself, cursing her blushing cheeks for betraying her otherwise cool outward composure.
Soon enough, everyone was ready to begin. The professor gave a short reminder of techniques to focus on, then let the students begin.
What felt like an hour of painting passed, but only 15 minutes had elapsed if the classroom’s clock was to be believed. The budding artist was skilled, but her mind was prone to wandering and boredom. Linh would rather have been chatting up Aiofe over coffee than focusing on rigid lessons that seemingly sucked the creativity out of her art.
Looking up at the still, posing woman at the center of attention, Linh’s mind drifted to all the things she’d rather be painting. With her head in the clouds, her hands were free to stray from a rigid adherence to the reference model; her brown hair was depicted as a stylish, braided updo instead of the loose curls which existed on the model.
…Or so she thought.
When Linh glanced back to the center of the room, her attention was snapped entirely back to reality at the sight of the model rocking a braided updo precisely like the one she’d painted!
‘No… No, her hair wasn’t like this before… I’m not imagining things, am I?’
To test the waters, the awestruck artist quickly but carefully painted over the model’s bare, modest breasts to make them a few sizes larger. Linh kept a close eye on the model, and before her eyes, her subject’s breasts grew to match her painting! Not stopping there, she repeated this process again and again, watching the woman serenely sitting there, oblivious to the fact she now had boobs nearly twice as large as they were moments prior!
Curiously leaning over to peek at Aoife’s artwork in progress, Linh witnessed the paint move on the canvas of its own accord, rearranging itself to match the model’s new appearance. Looking around the room, she was met by complete normalcy; every face reflected an air of concentration as the rest of the class went about their business like nothing was out of the ordinary.
‘Alright… So what if I just…?’ Linh added more paint to her canvas around the woman’s lower half, and before she knew it, the real life version had gained wider hips, thicker thighs, and plumpier glutes.
And just as before, her peers’ portraits magically altered themselves to reflect this change without so much as a raised eyebrow.
The flames of creativity were truly stoked within her now! ‘There's so much I could do! But… Hmmm, what to choose…’
Soon enough though, her hands decided for her: first, she added a little tail tipped in a tuft of fur that soon sprouted from the model’s rear end; then, she repainted the feet to be stubbier, fit for a pachyderm; next came a stronger, beefier torso and muscular arms to match; longer, almost tube-like ears; and finally, she crafted a longer snout-like face with a giant, sleek horn protruding up from her altered nose.
Now, the subject of today’s normally-mundane art class was a stunning, anthropomorphic rhinoceros lady! What’s more, despite glaringly obvious inhuman features appearing from seemingly nowhere, nobody besides Linh herself so much as bat an eye - including the model herself!
‘Now we’re talking! But there’s still something missing… Aha!’
The last touch Linh put on her painting was to give the rhino woman a large, pregnant belly! Once she confirmed the model had changed to reflect her portrait, she gave a subtle chef’s kiss.
With her portrait of the model completed (she painted much quicker than most of her classmates), Linh got the idea to add another person to her painting: Aoife. As she began adding the base layer of paint on the canvas, she saw Aoife stand up out of the corner of her eye, then turned her attention to watch her walk up next to the model.
The artists all continued to paint, but the professor spoke up. “Aren’t you forgetting something?” She tugged on the collar of her shirt as she looked at Aoife.
“Oh yeah, sorry.” Aoife relied, then casually began to strip out of her clothes right in front of the whole class! As if it were the most natural thing in the world, she tossed aside her outfit once she was completely naked and stood behind the original model in a pose of her own.
Linh was stunned. Not only could she change the appearances of those around her, she could also influence their behaviours! Peeking to her right, she watched as the paint on Aoife’s canvas faded from existence as if it were never there to begin with. Shifting to her left, Linh observed the other student beside her adding Aoife into her painting, and she presumed the rest of the class were all doing so as well.
Quickly altering the base layer of her painting, Linh made her tall, thin love interest curvier and larger in the stomach - and right on cue, Aoife’s hips widened, her tiddies swelled from little bumps to hefty D-cups, and her belly bulged to that of a late stage pregnancy.
‘Alright, now let’s see…’ Unable to decide on just one animalistic influence, Linh chose to reshape Aoife in the image of both a shark and a cow.
Firstly, the magic-fueled artist painted a sharp dorsal fin on Aoife’s back and pectoral fins along her forearms. The real Aoife moaned quietly as fins pushed out from her body to precisely match what Linh had added. Then came the long, powerful shark tail, which she painted to essentially be an extension of her torso. Aiofe moaned more audibly this time, as her spine lengthened and a fierce predator’s tail formed from her rear end. And just for an extra little touch, Linh painted sharp, shark tooth-like claws to Aoife’s fingertips - which of course sprouted on the living Aiofe as well.
“Alright class, we’ll pick this up tomorrow. It’s alright to leave your paintings here.” The professor announced, and the class quickly began to pack up and leave.
But Linh was having too much fun to stop now!
Next, Aoife was painted with a soft little udder, adorable little cow hooves instead of feet, and cute little cow horns. But once her transformation finished, both she and the original model turned to the sole other person in the room and sultrily beckoned her to join them.
Linh obliged the pair of pretty anthro women, but as soon as she joined them, she noticed her body undressing of seemingly its own accord. ‘Wh-why am I doing this? I… I’m supposed to be naked, of course. Silly me.’ Then, her legs nearly gave way beneath her; looking down, she saw her thickening thighs were fusing together and her lower legs were merging into a long, flat tail! ‘H-huh!? What happened to my-!? My… Legs? I… I’ve never had legs, what am I thinking?’
The sound of a brush sweeping over canvas prompted her to look back at where she’d been sitting: there, she found her new paint brushes floating in the air, painting of their own volition!
‘N-no! You’re my brushes! I-! I p-paint… I… I model for… paintings… right?’ Linh held her head, but instead of running her fingers through hair, she felt a series of writhing, slimy tentacle-like appendages growing from her instead! ‘Whuh!? I… My hair! My… My… Nnng, so hard to th-think…’
In actuality, Linh’s lower body had congealed into a long, eel-like tail, and her hair was rapidly being replaced by dozens of eels! Before she could properly fathom her changes, Linh had already become an eely gorgon! The final thing to change was her belly gaining size and shape, fit for a soon-to-be mother gorgon.
‘I… I’m… human… Humans… The humans are going to paint me, right? I’m not… human… am I?’

A week later, a few students were putting up some missing person posters around campus and the nearby shops: each poster featured photos of Linh, Aoife, and the original model in their human forms.
But as the students passed an odd little shop with halloween vibes, little did they know that there was a mischievous jester placing a used set of paintbrushes and a beautiful portrait of an anthro rhino, gorgon, and cow-shark back on her shelf…
