What in the Hell did DeviantArt do to the damned site layout?
Oh well, no use in complaining. Here be the Dark Princess Na'amah (who briefly appeared in an RP I think in 2007 as one of the Azerate, a group of demons who will go Voltron on your ass) and her design was inspired by the "Lady Bats" from Castlevania: Circle of the Moon . I kind of want to try and submit this to the Horror Groups, but I don't think her happy expression nor her bubble gum pink hair will exactly fly (pun not intended). Her facial structure was supposed to be based on that of actress Melissa Archer, but...it didn't work out as well as I had hoped due to not being able to go into much detail in her face since this a full body picture and all that..and had to be scanned in three separate pieces.
And now it's time for...Wiki-Fu!
"Naamah or Na'amah (Hebrew: נעמה, meaning pleasant) is a figure in Jewish mysticism. She is a succubus and fallen angel, and is generally regarded as an aspect or relation of Lilith. Naamah is said to have engaged, like Lilith, in intercourse with Adam. According to tradition, was created directly by God, as Eve or Lilith. Naamah and Lilith lived in the Red Sea coast where they were expelled by God. Naamah appearance is similar to Lilith, but Lilith being more sensual, young and beautiful and as one that corrupted the fallen angels and their leader Semyaza. The mythology attributes the power of being guilty of causing the epilepsy to children.
Naamah appears in the Zohar as one of the four angels of prostitution, the mates of the demon Samael, the mother of the demon Asmodai and one of the Queens of hell, she rule over the eastern quarter (Damascus). Her fellow succubi are Lilith, Eisheth Zenunim, and Agrat Bat Mahlat. She is generally identified with the daughter of Lamech. This Naamah is a counterpart to the one who appears in Genesis, and she is regarded, like her mortal counterpart, as a patron of divination and music.
In Gnostic Kabbalah, she is called Nahemah and is the qliphah corresponding to the sephirah Malkuth. The meaning of her name is argued among Hebrew scholars; it refers either to her virtuous nature ("pleasing" to God (YHVH)) or to a penchant for idolatry (singing "pleasant" songs to pagan idols). She is regarded as the inventor of divination.
The name Naamah must not to be confused with Lamech's daughter Naamah, sister of Tubal Cain, a descendant of Cain.(Genesis 4:22) She may or may not also be the wife of Noah or his son Ham."
So, yeah. I'm not sure what to do with her. I see her being partnered with her Goetian sister Bathin (image pending) as part of Gaibon and Slogra-like team wear Na'amah lifts Bathin into the air (via her feets since she lacks normal arms) and throws Bathin down on enemies.
Annnnnd, I'm not sure exactly what to do with Na'amah here just yet. Hell, I'm not even sure if I want to keep the old "Azerate" concept. I do like her design though...and let's ignore them anatomy flaws, m'kay?

This is a wonderful design I wonder whether it's hard to live with wings instead of hands (well, all in all, maybe it's not difficult to such a powerful creature
).

Well, she can't pick things up with her hands or actually dress herself, but being a Princess of Hell, she has servants to do that for her. That and she can use her feet if she needs to write something or lift her sister into the air and drop her on enemies.

Thank you very much. At first I was just going to have her floating with the sigil behind her, but the balance looks off so I grabbed some bat stocks and played with lighting.

LadyMadCat [2010-09-18 20:23:20 +0000 UTC]
I'm loving the shiny shades of blue here Especially the "sigil" effects in the background.
She's an innovative looking character. I like it how her leotard covers her torso entirely in the front but it's suggested to be very skimpy in the back Nice detailing on her wings too, and her unusual hair color really stands out.

HotaruThodt In reply to LadyMadCat [2010-09-18 20:45:36 +0000 UTC]
Thank you. I'm actually debating on what the back will look like. At the time, I wanted something that wouldn't be very skimpy and cover her lady's business while giving her arm-wings full function (since wearing a normal bra would be out of the question given the membrane of her wings).

ScarecrowCenobite [2010-09-18 09:44:21 +0000 UTC]
There's a sort of surreal quality to this. Usually with this sort of character they have human-style arms and then massive wings in addition... this makes her seem more other wordly, more unique and different which I like. As someone said, those wings wouldn't support her in a real world, but the otherwordly nature sort of works with that, she seems off-beat ina good way. Creepy yet pretty.

Yeah, Her arms came out a bit too thin, but it does work, doesn't it. The Lady Bats appeared to have tiny arms so I just went with that. Thanks.

she looks more like a Disney's Gargoyles fan character ^.^;;
her arms seem much to small, it makes the picture feel wrong somehow O.O; not sure, there's an awkwardness but It's hard to pinpoint ... hmm.
she needs bigger wings.

lolz. I realize she's looked like a Gargoyle when I started laying out the flats.
And yeaaaaah. The arms is one of those anatomy flaws I was hoping people would ignore. I didn't notice it until after I inked and no amount of PhotoShopping could fix it. Oh well, hollow bones helps her fly a bit.
