SHIFTER LAUNCH DAY!!! We have officially launched our Kickstarter to bring Shifter to life!!! If you can, would love folks to share and support a comic created by two trans pinoy guys that want to see ourselves in superhero comics.

Our creator will be at @prismcomics.bsky.social Q-Con to amplify trans voices within creative spaces alongside other trans and nonbinary creatives like @tillybridges.bsky.social @taramavery.bsky.social! Hope to see you y’all there!

New logo for the brand!!!! We got some fun things cooking up for a Kickstarter launch next week!!!

Grateful that @artiodaktyl.bsky.social was onboard with experimenting with the color palette and to push the looks of this even more! Even did a color blindness test to see if the colors would translate well.

Welcome to #TransTuesday! This week things are gonna get uncomfortable. Literally. Strap in (a ha, it is to laugh) because we’re talking about: TUCKING AND BINDING. Cis folks, this one includes activities you can do right in your own home! www.tillystranstuesdays.com/2024/08/10/t...

More snippets of the action! Dude never saw it coming.

From sketch to inking, @artiodaktyl.bsky.social is killing it with really carrying out the grit I wanted when portraying Shifter!

When coming up with a signature for the Tambal, I gave @artiodaktyl.bsky.social two sketches of butterfly with eyes for wings. I felt it was a fitting symbol for the Tambal as they strive to gracefully to see and known all without being detected.

The location setting for Shifter’s story will mostly take place within the city of Chicago (a place I grew up around). A lot of the places are reference to actually location folks might be familiar with. Can you guess what place I’m referencing here?

Hi #PortfolioDay! I’m Arthur, a queer illustrator from the Philippines with past experience in TTRPGs and comics. Currently open for freelance opportunities and would love to work on some sci-fi/fantasy cards and covers 🗡️⚡️ 🎨 artiodaktyl.carrd.co [ #art | #ocsky ]

The reason behind the back design for his suit stems from the term “Egg”, which refers to a person who is trans but hasn't yet realized or accepted their identity. I felt wings often symbolized birth and growth for trans folks, adding to the phoenix theme.

🏳️‍⚧️Happy TDOV!!! Go read the book I was in that’s full of literally nothing but trans and NB stories!!! 🏳️‍⚧️

Shifter is an assassin that uses a lot of tech and gadgets he’s created. His mask can read infrared signatures, as well as give him night vision when needed. You can see the finished pages debut at SDCC with @diwatakomiks.bsky.social as a part of New Icons!

This isn’t a joke! This is another more final version of Shifter’s costume that @artiodaktyl.bsky.social masterfully put together when working with @diwatakomiks.bsky.social

This is something Shifter would do

Early stages of Shifter’s design by @artiodaktyl.bsky.social When asked what Shifter looks like, I wanted someone that looked like an average Filipino man. Someone you could easily bump into on the streets and not know they were a vigilante that kicked butt. This became an alt fit though

Have the opportunity to panel alongside amazing queer creator, with the lovely @taramavery.bsky.social moderating! If you’re at Wondercon next week, we hope to see you there!
