My response to my own Journal at http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2511019/
So what happens when two shapeshifters Grant (http://www.furaffinity.net/full/126685/) and Alce (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1484778/) conceive a child in what must have been an extremely drunken encounter?
An overload, that's what. Meet Roy-Grant, which incidentally is a common name in the Blackley family line, making him Roy-Grant Blackley the Fourth. Since his parents are both different ilks of shapeshifter, he cannot properly access either bloodline. He can change his shape to be sure, but it's excessively painful for him, and he can't achieve anything useful or consistent with it, so he just doesn't. He grows fine downy feathers in place of his body hair, which, while at times embarassing for him, is not really noticable from a distance of more than a few metres.
Inheriting Grant's independant attitude and sense of modesty, and Alce's appreciation for intense colors, he has grown into something of a thrill-seeker, attempting to explore every facet of his life in the most intense way possible.
I admit when the game started and I saw
Indagare 's entry, the first thought I had was "Please don't let me get paired with this character" and when the random list DID in fact pair me with
Indagare I cursed a bit and dreaded the attempt.
I am quite pleased with the results however, and ultimately I think it worked out for the best. Overcoming challenges is part of what makes us better artists and it's exactly why I love games like this in the first place.

for a foreigner
Flamboyant, fabulous and loud, his limited shapeshift abilities could be useful as visual emotional punctuation a la Plasticman.
It was a fun contest! I had a fun challenge combining traits of Kibura's character with Rito, to best balance traits from each character. Please let us know if you think of another challenge for us all to participate in!
Those jeans are pretty awesome, too. Heck, the whole outfit rocks.
Motorcycles and Extremely good looking bodies……
Thank you!
