Just A Stained Glass Window And a Caption.
It shows some paws depicted in a stained glass window, but nothing to indicate transformation. I'm not sure if being the Trope Namer makes that okay or not, so I'm asking here.

There is no Planet B
- on Arachne.
- on Beauty and Beast
- Not voting on Two face from either the film or the comics.
Hi
to 24...might be good for a page example or Image Links, but the "before" pic isn't distinct enough to me, plus I agree with ![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
.

I like the Harvey Dent one; Arachne is a bit too abstract.
I believe in Harvey Dent.
Edit: And if Shade's Form is going on the poll, to that too.

Oooh, I like #29. +1. I think it's better than TDK, but I'm not going to downvote that one.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I also approve of @29.

Hi
Here's the Shade's Form at 350. It's alright, but I dunno that I like it enough to favor it over TDK Dent...remaining neutral for now.

Oh, I really, really like that one.
No, the other one.
@33 is also good for me. Notice that the blue-hued form is the beast one.

on Shade's Form.
Conceptually Frameworked
I'd like to give a to Shade's form because it shows the process in action.
It may help that it's nicely over the top.

Hi
I was going to call this one, but I took another look at the trope page, and once again I think we've got a situation of voting for a pic that fits the title but not the trope.
Why? The key sentence seems to be "this character loses their extreme good looks and becomes ugly as sin," which is what we were assuming all along, wasn't it?
In uffish thought
The "as a sin" bit is what we missed. Well, and that it's about beauty to ugly more than beauty to literal animal furry beast. The leading crowner option character is getting cursed and turning to a beast, but that being as a lesson or punishment is not shown.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
I don't even see why it needs to be 'as a sin'. That seems needlessly specific. Sometimes it happens in fairy tales just because someone was jealous or something. I don't see why that shouldn't count. The original YKTTW didn't mention that as being a part of the trope, either.

Trans Siberian Anarchestra (it/they)
The non-punishment transformation is called... Baleful Polymorph, I think?
The transformation is supposed to reflect or instigate a moral or personal transformation of some sort.
I'd have suggested Joining the Winning Team if it weren't already in use on Lovecraftian Superpower.

The Revolution Will Not Be Tropeable
Okay, just to be on the safe side, how about this? It's from
Punisher War Zone, it's a before and after of the co-villain Jigsaw. 
But this trope is specifically about beauty to beast. I think the nature of this trope is fiction is about the contrast of someone who is considered beautiful being turned into something ugly. Sometimes it's a Break the Haughty, sometimes it's a Princess in Rags-type thing (not literally, but sort of the same idea, with more drastic measures), sometimes it's by nature (the story of Melusine), sometimes it's by accident. Those don't seem like separate tropes to me, but they're being excluded because of one single unnecessary clause. Baleful Polymorph just consists of any person turned into...well, anything.
That doesn't seem any more of an improvement. It doesn't capture to "punishment" side of things either.

This reminds me that someone should probably check for misuse when this is all said and done.
