Thanks guys.
I must say, I was quite amused when I found out today is International Day Against Homophobia. I did not know about that before MadJack posted about it on the blog, otherwise I’d have finished all of the Pride pictures by now and I’d have bulk posted them today. But I’m obviously not that organised, so you’re getting them one a day (apart from Monday, I’m going home from uni on Monday, so the CDC may be posted a bit later than usual btw).
Anyway, next up: Shift
Bio: Born as a girl, Alex Kane always felt like he was in the wrong body. He tried to live life as a girl, he liked guys so other girls wouldn’t think of him as weird but he knew it wasn’t who he was. Not having enough money for gender reassignment surgery, he became suicidal, until his mutant power to shape-shift emerged. After some practice, he managed to learn to hold a male form indefinitely, only returning to his original female form in times of great emotional stress. After figuring out his identity problem, Alex turned his attentions to the other things his powers could do. He learnt to increase his muscle mass and strength by will, giving him super strength. He found out about Pride and, at a Gay Pride march, approached them to ask if he could join. They were convinced when his skills helped them stop a violent clash with a homophobic counter march. He has now struck up a romantic relationship with Chance, but he hasn’t told his lover about his true identity, fearing it may drive him away.
Note: I did actually do a female version of Shift this time as well, like I did originally. Buuuuuuuut, I’m really not all that keen on it, so it’s not getting posted. Sorry, but I don’t really want to be posting up sub-par artwork and I wanted to get this up today. Maybe I’ll have another go at it and post it in the future, but for the moment, sorry, no female version.
