SPECIAL IMAGE RELEASE - BEAST '97 (Patreon)

Creating this rendition of Professor McCoy was a fun challenge; getting the fur to fit right on the muscular body took a lot of work, but I'm very happy with how it turned out!

I hope you've enjoyed these renders while I've been developing the sets for the next story. 

I will have a TEST render from the new story for you all soon and pages of the comic to follow!

Thank you again for all your support of me and my art!

While working at a nuclear power plant, Norton McCoy was exposed to massive amounts of radiation that affected his genes. As a result, Norton's son, Henry "Hank" McCoy, was born a mutant who showed signs of being different from birth with his unusually large hands and feet. As a youth, Hank's freakish appearance was the subject of much ridicule from his classmates, earning him the nickname "Beast." 

A brilliant student, Hank completed his doctoral studies under Xavier's tutelage. He finally graduated from the Xavier School to take a position at the Brand Corporation as a genetic researcher under Doctor Carl Maddicks. During one of his experiments, Hank discovered the hormonal extract that causes genetic mutation and went to inform Maddicks of his findings. However, Maddicks secretly plotted to steal top-secret government documents, and Hank took it upon himself to stop Maddicks. In order to disguise his appearance, Hank took the extract and underwent radical physical changes that enhanced his agility and strength, as well as causing him to grow fangs, pointed ears, and fur all over his body. When he stayed too long in this state, Hank found he could not return to his original form. He was now a beast in fact as well as in name. At first, he tried to hide his mutation with a latex mask and gloves but later learned to accept his new appearance.
