**WORK-IN-PROGRESS** Werebear (FtM TG)

Still need to do some further staging and tweaking, but it’s getting there.  The preview thumbnail pic is from a version that’s much further along than the version I’m posting.  The posted version above just shows the basic transformation.

The Story (current version):

A woman becomes stranded in a remote part of the wilderness while hiking.  After exhausting her food and water supplies, she doesn’t think she’ll survive. But she unwittingly stumbles across the spirit of a long-dead grizzly who still roams his former hunting grounds.  The old bear takes pity on her and decides to merge his essence to hers so that she can live and he can hunt again through her.

Alternate version (still haven't decided which to use):

The woman instead comes across the dead carcass of a recently deceased grizzly whose spirit is confused and roaming around the immediate vicinity.  Sensing a living thing nearby, it attaches to her body believing it to be its own. She transforms.

The props and final animation will match whichever version I do.  The second is a bit more complex and would take longer.
