Description Was going to wait to put this up into the first comic with her was finished, but I caved in.

Name: Skallen Jiv Citalil; Skally for short
Gender: Female
Species: *name pending*
General info:
The owner of Casino Solaris, she can be a bit eccentric and has an odd/flashy taste in fashion. Her usually cheery, carefree nature hides a serious businesswoman. Win or lose, she rather enjoys the thrill of taking risky gambles. She is also know for being quite generous in rewarding those who help her or do her favors.

Skally rarely shows her darker side. This usually surfaces only when confronting cheaters and cons trying to rip her and her establishment off. One of her favorite methods of dealing with cheaters is to have them held out high over the surface of the moon that the casino orbits and dropping them, unless they repent.
At times, Skally can fall prey to the allure of gambling and/or get a bit too greedy. She is not too friendly when it comes to mob types either, which has garanteed her more than a few enemies.
Her biggest weakness in her eyes is her fear of the dark which is a primal throwback found in much of her people.

The Casino itself is a large structure floating above the surface of the moon of her home planet. Besides the impressive gameroom, it boasts hotel/spa accomidations, restaurants, and entertainment.

Skelly's race is repto-mammilian. Skin tones range from the lighter blues to the darkest purples. [eyes are always the same color] They have evolved a high tolerance to UV radiation and can see into the normal and UV light spectrum. The race is known for worshipping their sun as the personification of a lifegiving diety. This is why the casino has an overabundant amount of solar themes and symbolism built into even its own design. The race also has a collective fear of the dark, sparked by the disappearenc eof the sun and the fact that incredibly dangerous predators come out at night to roam the planet. They are also suseptible to cold temperatures.

that's all i've got for now. XD;

Skally, casino solaris > mine

Hmm, the humble beginnings of Skally and the Soltics ^^ I'm so happy how this exploded into such a big thing.

Wow this is actually pretty interesting... the details of the casino itself and the fact that even for an "advanced" race, they still have things like primal fears and rituals... means we aren't so different XD

The culture's past and present are inseparably intertwined. Every day mundane routines may be things that have gone unchanged since their culture and language first developed.

Oh my, it is good to see more of her. This character is slowly making her way into my favorites. Your coloring as always is superb and your posing really brings out the character. Her expression is very interesting along with the pose given, I find it somewhat attractive in several different definitions of the word.

I am impressed by all the information included within the information on the character's species. You have indeed created something that will forever stay in my head and intrigue me.

Abide, and prosper.

Great race and back up story I too have to point out what half-dude and invader-sideos said, the realistic way you described Skally and her race. You've made it easier for people to "connect" to her. All in all, awesome job man 8D

Nice design on her clothing, very tech-circus and whatnot, tis epicness. Also, top hats are always a 1d4 on coolness.
Also, nice to see how you listed a religion and their weakness rather than "THEY HAVE ULTRAVISION AND CAN BREATH FIRE AND ARE MUCH STRONGER THAN HUMANS BLA BLA" like most peeps do when making an alien race.

A nicely rounded charicter with good art, YOU SIR ARE A GENTLEMAN OF ARTESTRY.

Thank you, good sir. Just trying to be ever so slightly realistic with the race.

Half-dude [2009-01-07 00:38:59 +0000 UTC]

First thing that comes to mind, I'd be interested to see what she looks like realistically and not in IZ form. Ok scratch the airlock thing I said in the other comment. That moon thing... I don't get it XD, is this station still within the moon's gravity? If so then it'd make sense to me.

I like the reference to mobs, it'd be interested to see some alien mobs Irken or not.

I like the scientific data you have, explaining why her race is afraid of the dark, what they worship, that sort of thing. ^^

Mech-Maker In reply to Half-dude [2009-01-07 00:48:55 +0000 UTC]

I'll start some sketches of a more realistic form soon. ^^

The casino is still within both the moon's gravity and atmosphere XD. Think Cloud City from Star Wars.

figured the mob agle would add some good danger and drama in time.

Thanks, man. ^^
