Description
Representin'!Okay, so I'm actually pretty happy with how this came out, especially since I get to represent the LGBT with this. (It would be nearly impossible to represent ALL the letters)
Storm (black hair) and Kina (dark-skinned) are both bisexual, Meisodd and Akalah (white-haired) are gay and lesbian respectively, and the little pink-haired cutie in the middle, Duke, is transgender.

And besides all of that, some people look "weird". I didn't do it because he's transgender. Did you notice the markings on Akalah's face? Or the fact that Kina's bangs are bright red? They all look a little "weird". I think Duke looks just fine.

Could you elaborate? Again, I think they look fine. Admittedly, I forgot to add shine to them again after I blended the colors, but they're supposed to be a greenish hazel color.
I'm sorry if I came off pissy or whatever, but if you're going to criticize, be specific, otherwise it's not helpful.

He looks like he's cross-eyed.

And either way, what if he WAS cross-eyed? It would just be a character trait :/

Just so you know, the reason it bothers me is because I'm transgender.

And also just so you know, I am, too. I'm bi-gendered, which generally falls under the transgender umbrella term.

Well like I said, none of the traits I gave any of them have to do with their sexuality or gender identity. If Duke WAS cross eyed, it would be because I decided he was born cross eyed, not because I decided that he had to look strange because he's transgender.
But just so you know, if he was cross eyed, his eyes would be a LOT more inward. Curving on the edges of his eyes.

Well, he's supposed to be looking straight ahead at something. It's difficult to make that look right. Sorry it bothers you, I guess? I don't do a front-view very often. I still don't see it, but whatever.

The reason he looks "weird" is because of his backstory. When he was struggling with his identity, he was desperate to feel womanly. He wanted to be able to at least be complacent being a girl to make his family happy. So for whatever reason, the first thought he had was to get his hair dyed pink. (His hair was naturally brunette and came down past his shoulders). However, it just made him feel stupider, so he chopped off his hair and came out to his parents that night. It didn't really work out well. Eventually, his hair color will grow out back to brown and he'll get it cut to reflect this. He also is pre-op and hasn't started testosterone yet.
