After drawing Arthur Grandstone in a live performance setting for the Cyber Purge-inspired "Mutagian World" series, I chose to depict the next character in a more mundane situation: chatting at a nightclub bar. It ended up being a two-for-one deal, as I cast Logan Lightfoot as her conversation partner, thus bringing an actual Cyber Purge character into the series.
Well, technically, it's a three-in-one deal, because there needed to be a DJ in this nightclub, and it couldn't just be anyone! You'll be seeing this fellow in the next image in this series!

In a world where anyone can shapeshift into any form of their choosing within size limits, high-end fashion can be uniquely challenging. While the ability to convert fabric to and from mutagia allows clothes to be generated tailor-made around customers in whichever designs they like, custom-made outfits for specific clients must take care to compliment or highlight the client's form rather than distract from or compete with it. Kathryn Maika knows this well, knowing that the most successful designs on the runway are those where the model's form and their clothing work together in harmony.
When taking breaks from the demands of her trade, Kathryn goes to nightclubs in an outfit designed to look pretty on the dance floor, with fabrics that radiate in the venue's lighting. While this works, the real purpose is to socialize with the market for her ready-to-wear designs, a reminder of who ultimately keeps fashion designers like her in business.
Logan Lightfoot
Logan Lightfoot (he/she/they)
The nightlife is as old as the invention of electric lighting, and in the mutagian world, it is colorful wherever you go. Among the most popular such venues are nightclubs, small-scale places for social gathering and entertainment including bars, dancing and music. Strict regulations and licensing ensure that whatever is offered to attendees is offered to the maximum standard of safety to let attendees enjoy themselves to the fullest without fear.
It is the nightlife where Logan Lightfoot thrives. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, they tend the bar at Cosmic Shore, a beachfront dance club. On Saturdays, they dance on stage at the Galactic Delight downtown. And even on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, when they are on break, they visit adult venues on and offline. No matter where they go and what they do, Logan is at their best socializing with people from all walks of life, learning about them and helping them with their needs. After all, variety is the spice of life.
