Meet the Gang - The Heart by Shadderstag

Meet the Gang - The Heart

Shadderstag

Some more characters from my unnamed superhero headworld. These are a couple of the gang members.

Left is Derrek Howser, with his dog Killer Queen AKA Killer AKA Queenie. Derrek has been with the gang since he was sixteen, saved by an up-and-coming crime lord from torture, who is now his boss. He'd die for him, and has taken a literal bullet for him. Queenie is a pit bull mix that was one of dozens the gang rescued from a dog fighting ring. She's a huge suck and loves cuddles (especially with cats! Soft friends!).

Right is Ali Khalil, with his polydactyl cat Monty. Ali's been with the gang since he was sixteen as well, as a gopher. He needed the money to take care of his mother, who has vascular dementia. He also works as a warehouse worker and a cashier at Wawa. Monty is the huge Maine coon he adopted when he found that coming home to an empty apartment was depressing him.

These two are the heart of the gang. Always positive, always ready to lend a helping hand, and with more empathy than they know what to do with.

If you've got any questions, feel free to ask.

      Thank you! And yeah I'm a sucker for them, especially since so many comics make gangs into just, random bunch of thugs. I like the idea of them being actual people, yknow?

        absolutely. i have never seen an actual gang documentary that doesn't highlight how every person is someone with an entire life, reasons, wants and needs outside of the hustle and pretty much united by either location, ideology, or having an identity put upon them. and they're all trying to make ends meet making most of the same decisions we do, just a couple of them differently.

        i rarely have acquaintances related to the lifestyle, mostly through degrees of separation, and its always seen as this thing you can't get out of when you're in. but absolutely ANYONE can find themselves involved. from every walk of life.

          Yeah, for sure! I've had dealings with a few gang members in my peripheral social circles, but I plan to do plenty of research haha
