Mystique is a character from the X-Men comic book, graphic novel, cartoon and movie series. She is shown to be a shape shifter and can change into any person. Her real appearance is of blue skin with small protrusions covering around 75% of her body. Her eyes are stained yellow in both the iris and the sclera, the pupil is still black. The hair is auburn-red, it's always kept back over the head and ears and it is only neck length. Due to her natural appearance that she cannot change; some details of her body are not visible and so she does not wear any clothes in this form.
These gifs shows how her power works in the movies. It looks as if her skin works like revolving scales with the new image of what she would like to look like on the other side. I notice that it is the front part of her face that changes first. It then moves diagonally down the body and to her back. The eyes seem to change last.
I find the idea of changing appearances very interesting because I can use my photoshop skills to show progression through the metamorphosis process over a few images. This could be the change between animal and human or human to human. I can experiment with really obvious changes and subtle ones as well.
