* In ''Webcomic/TheSanityCircus'', an Instruman's human form resembles their instrument form. Luther (the cello) has a long brown coat with a long black division down the centre and black embellishments on the sleeves resembling string instrument sound holes. Steven (the flute) has a long silver outfit with many band and buttons for the buttons on the flute. Their WeaponOfChoice resembles their instrumental form too -- Luther has a bow cutlass, and Steven carries a shotgun. Steven's heterochromia in human form is apparently a carry-over from the damage he sustained as a flute before being brought to life.

* ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital'':
** [[http://bogleech.com/awfulhospital/jay.png Jay]], [[http://bogleech.com/awfulhospital/chip.png Chip]], and [[http://bogleech.com/awfulhospital/crash.png Crash]] are all subjected to a "Q-36 Procedure", which swaps their "cores" (essentially, their consciousnesses) between bodies; Jay is placed in Chip's body, and Chip in Crash's.[[note]]Crash's core was placed in a pocket dimension where he was neither alive nor dead, and Jay's body was left empty.[[/note]] [[http://bogleech.com/awfulhospital/coffeejoe.png Jay-as-Chip]] ('Joe') has Jay's lanky build and blue coloration, while [[http://bogleech.com/awfulhospital/computerchip2.png Chip-as-Crash]]'s computerized head retains Chip's coffee-mug head and apron.
** You can always tell which [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Slobs]] used to be instances of Fern by the fact that, no matter how severely they mutate, they'll [[https://bogleech.com/awfulhospital/youhorde.png always]] retain her iconic hairstyle. For some reason, though, that doesn't seem to be the case for Jayslobs.
* Each of the {{Mon}}s in ''Webcomic/ButImACatPerson'' has a few visual traits that stay consistent across all human and animal forms, if only for the convenience of the reader. Cybele's pink eyes, Patrick's brown-and-blond hair/fur, Reseda's sharp teeth and claws, and so on.
* Whenever Myan transforms in ''Webcomic/CatNine'', she gets to keep her magic collar, her facial markings and her eye and hair color.
* In ''Webcomic/CharbyTheVampirate'' Tony does this on purpose seeing as the yellow eyes with split slit pupils he maintains across all of his transformations are not what his eyes actually look like when he's not transforming them. His tarnkappe on the other hand will always be on him when he transforms as he can't do so without it.
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', the artist Dan Shive often draws characters transformed into animals or anthropomorphic shapes (sometimes pertaining to the storyline and sometimes not), but they always retain their original hairstyles. Often, the fur will be the same color as their hair. As for Grace, well, her use of this trope is apparently down to the strange synergy of her mixed Uryuom and Lespuko genes, which enable her to instinctively blend the most desirable features of all her available forms -- such as maintaining the expressiveness and speech-ability of a human face while in an animal-form.
* ''Webcomic/{{Evilish}}'' features a character that can change into almost anything, but will always keep triangular facial markings under his eyes.
* In ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'', when [[spoiler:the Kershaws]] undergo a {{Metamorphosis}} into birds, the feathers on their heads mimic the hairstyles they had as humans.
* ''Webcomic/TheHandbookOfHeroes'': As seen for example in [[https://www.handbookofheroes.com/archives/comic/tournament-arc-part-5-8 "Tournament Arc, Part 5/8"]], Druid can wild-shape, but she keeps her braided hair and color scheme whenever taking an animal form ([[https://www.handbookofheroes.com/archives/comic/the-outer-planes-part-8-8-whimsy or plant form]]), as well as a tell-tale green leaf on her head.
* In one of the more fantastical arcs of ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'', Thomas Milton gets turned into a camel for trying to take cursed gold out of the temple in the forest. His new form has a dark area along his snout that resembles his moustache.
* In ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'', Princess Voluptua's alien butterfly form retains her long red hair and has roughly the same silhouette as her human mask (except for the wings, of course).
* {{Inverted|Trope}} in ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFoxhound'' , where resident shapeshifter [[VideoGame/MetalGear Decoy Octopus]] creates such perfect copies of whoever he's imitating that it's impossible to tell apart. The trope comes full circle when it's revealed that his image of himself is just a trenchcoat and fedora without anybody inside them.
* ''Webcomic/LastRes0rt'' has this enforced on Alice, sort of; she can't change the color of her eyes. This would be more of an issue if her eyes hadn't already changed into the same red-pupils-in-black "Dead Eyes" that every Djinn seems to have, but among the limited cast, it's trouble enough.
* ''Webcomic/LatchkeyKingdom:'' Bridget keeps her barcode-like stripes when she shapeshifts.
* ''Webcomic/{{Maliki}}'' :
** Mnesic cristallisations physically mirror the cats they reincarnated from ; for instance, [=LadyBird=]'s clothes and hair bear the same spotted pattern as Lady's fur and both share the same yellow eyes and line mark on their cheeks, while [=ElectroCute=]'s clothes sport the same stripes as Flèche's fur and they both have large blue pupils and a lightning-like mark under their eyes.
** Fénimale can still be identified under her human form by her long red hair, her yellow and green eyes, and her plant-like green clothes.
** In [[https://maliki.com/en/strips/the-french-fry/ this strip]], Fénimale and Maliki are transformed into pigeons, which still sport the same hair as they did before. Fénimale's loincloth also morphs into a collar with a similar pattern.
* In ''Webcomic/MurphysLaw'', Tinder is a green dragon who takes a humanoid form, but he still has green hair, fangs and stunted wings, looking like a half-dragon. This is pointed out as unusual since a dragon's polymorph power is usually perfect, but Tinder is quite young and sucks at changing shape.
* ''Webcomic/{{Nimona}}'': Nimona the shapeshifter is a redhead, and thus about all her alternate forms have red or pink tones. She actually {{exploit|edTrope}}s it once by using a rat painted pink as a diversion.
* Also seen in ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', where shapeshifters keep their overall color scheme.
** Like with [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0353.html Leeky Windstaff]] the druid using Wild Shape to turn into a bear. His skin color become the brown fur of the bear, except for the underbelly which is the same tan as his robe, his grey bread and hair reflect over the claws and fangs, and even the green of his holy symbol ends up as the bear's eye color.
** Vaarsuvius the wizard, whether they [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0638.html shapechange voluntarily]] or are victim of a ''[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0176.html baleful polymorph]]'', keep a pink and/or violet scheme, matching their hair and [[MagicalSensoryEffect magical aura]].
** As for Sabine the succubus, when she takes [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0057.html various]] [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0356.html human]] forms, she tends to retain her black hair and dusky skin tone (as well as showing [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] from time to time).
** Bloodfeast the Extreme-inator is an ''Allosaurus''; when turned into a lizard by BalefulPolymorph, he's still stocky and with the same brown-and-red stripes.
** When Durkon [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0932.html turns into a bat]] as [[spoiler:a vampire]], he's a bald, bearded bat.
* The Aces (animals turned human) in ''Webcomic/{{Pandect}}'' have morphic resonance with their animal forms and frequently increase the effect with their clothing and hairstyle.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Runewriters}}'', whenever Sev shapeshifts his new form tends to have greenish skin or fur to match his hair.
* In ''Webcomic/TheSanityCircus'', an Instruman's human form resembles their instrument form. Luther (the cello) has a long brown coat with a long black division down the centre and black embellishments on the sleeves resembling string instrument sound holes. Steven (the flute) has a long silver outfit with many band and buttons for the buttons on the flute. Their WeaponOfChoice resembles their instrumental form too -- Luther has a bow cutlass, and Steven carries a shotgun. Steven's heterochromia in human form is apparently a carry-over from the damage he sustained as a flute before being brought to life.
* In ''Webcomic/SatanAndMe'', Satan and the Archangel Zadkiel both shapeshift fairly regularly. They both keep their eyes and eyebrows no matter what their form looks like, and Zadkiel always has a lip piercing.
* In ''Webcomic/TheSelfishBeastAndTheSelflessMaiden'', the Maiden is transformed into a dragon with red scales, the same colour as her hair when she was a human.
* Danny, the title character in ''Webcomic/{{Shifter}}'', has eyes and a mouth that appear on whatever form he takes, identical to the eyes and mouth on his human face.
* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': A character seen in spirit-bird form retains the haircut they had as a human.
* Khut of ''Webcomic/StarTrip'' can change into any creature they can imagine, but they always have a horn in the middle of their head.
* ''Webcomic/WildeLife'':
** [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Cliff]] is a ginger teenager who can turn into a red wolf.[[note]][[Literature/CliffordTheBigRedDog Get it?]][[/note]] Seems to be common among the wolf-based [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent animal people]] whom we see. Cliff also has SupernaturalGoldEyes that look more like a wolf's than an average human's.
** Raven is capable of HumanShifting as well as human-to-animal, but each form looks basically the same, just with different ages and genders. He also has black hair, presumably to match his raven form.
* The students in ''Webcomic/WizardSchool'' [[http://www.meetmyminion.com/?p=1423 keep their glasses when shapeshifting]] to play Transmogritus.
* An unusual variation in ''Webcomic/TheWotch'': there's a RunningGag that every time Jason is [[GenderBender turned into a girl]], he [[http://www.thewotch.com/?epDate=2006-12-25 gets red hair]] (unless the spellcaster specifically wishes otherwise), even though his normal form has blond hair. For him, even [[http://www.thewotch.com/?epDate=2003-09-10 transformations unrelated]] [[http://www.thewotch.com/?epDate=2005-03-25 to gender-swapping]] tend to produce forms based on that redheaded female form rather than his normal form.
* In ''Webcomic/YokokasQuest'', Copycat can copy the appearance, [[PowerCopying abilities, and languages]] of another person, but always retains his purple eyes. Mao has [[GlamourFailure used this to identify him and distinguish him]] from who he's previously copied.
* [[http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga&illust_id=29801005 Genome-Heritor]] in ''Webcomic/YuGiOhCardGameGustoFanComic''. When he shapeshifts into another [[Anime/YuGiOhZexal number]], he always wears the mask.
