Description
This is an Oc that has been eating away at my art time the last week. Started off as a few sketches to practice vortian, and developed into this.She actually is an OC i have been tossing around in my head for some time, though I am still undecided if she will serve the purpose I am thinking or not.
If it wasn't obvious from the mass of doodles, she is a bit of well.. a ball of spitfire. She serves as a inventor, primarily for explosives, what she is best known for is small robots that can be programmed to get ot a certain point before self destructing. IN other words walking bombs.
I realized half way through this that it looked like in a few images she is working on a "big daddy' from Bioshock. Completely unintentional but I found it amusing cause that is completely something she would be all over.
I never said she was a graceful bugger even with how she always balances on those little legs of hers. She consistently is tripping over things, and getting tangled in wires. A bit of clumsy gal you might say.
And yes before any gender confusion, this is a female, very flat chested, buck toothed, speaking with a lisp female.
She is a Vi'hgta class of Vortian something that I will go more into detail with when I release some of my Vortian headcanon sheets.
Also a negative trait in her but an all too true one given the society that I have in my headcanons. Little Tikah here is a bit racist towards Irkens.
But it isn't necessarily unjustified given the war and the enslavement of their species, so on so forth. Though at times this can be a bit misguided for her and she can lash out towards people who have done her no wrong merely because they are Irkens.
Generally though she is just very unfriendly, or freaks out upon meeting one.
Girly ya need to get over your issues with those green buggers.
Tikah and art belong to TheEvilTeaDrinker

It's not like me to do this, but I really want to like Tikah and it really bothers me that you described her as spastic off the bat. Anywhere outside the United States that word is extremely taboo because it's been often used as a derogatory term for people with cerebral palsy. I wasn't sure if you were aware, given it wasn't until recently someone explained to me that within the states it has less offensive uses, but it still elicits a pretty severe reaction.

No, I wasn't aware of that, but I really appreciate someone letting me know. I had never thought it'd be used in the manner you mentioned, from where I had grown up it had just been used as another descriptive kind of word. "Haha Tommy you spaz." So on so forth. Usually just used to describe someone with a lot of energy.
Thank you for telling me, how ever disheartening this comment was. I'll change it. <)

I really appreciate you getting back to me on this. I just kept seeing Tikah around and she seems like a really great character, but it was just the one thing that kept popping up. Even just a disclaimer is fine- it genuinely has a different origin in the states than it does in UK english, but not knowing that kind of creates a schism.

She reminds me of a person i talk to in science class she has chipped her front tooth and if by the way i think Tikah is talking then yes they would sound exactly the same. They both well i'm guessing Tikah has a pretty dorky personality. Then they would be pretty much the same. :T But Tikah is just ssssssso adorable ^ ^

Omg! I @$%&ing LOVE her! So cute and so different form the norm!
I love everything from her snazzy horns, goggles, and adorable little buck teeth. Her little bot companions are quite cute as well <3

Octeapi In reply to CGIgal [2014-02-02 02:15:07 +0000 UTC]
Haha! <3
That was partly the point of her, to be a bit different, not the usual 'female image' that is shown these days.
I mean, in our modern society we are just to eager to force women into these ideal body images. Which really most of the time are unhealthy.
Perky boobs, perfect features, well behaved, the image of lady.
Though unfortunately, breaking the norm gets Tikah mistaken for a boy more times then not.
Poor girlie.
All the adorable bots, you can never have too many of them.

AHAHA this is great. Wonderful character. (Admittedly until I read the description I thought she was male, but now knowing she's female all her comments about robots being cute make a lot more sense, haha.)

Octeapi In reply to JurLLu [2014-01-07 02:59:06 +0000 UTC]
Daw thanks!
Yeeeeaaa lots of people think she is a He right now though I can imagine that is because she doesn't necessarily fit the average female character. She is shaped like a board not a pear, no massive boobs or overly feminine features.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
JurLLu In reply to Octeapi [2014-01-07 18:40:42 +0000 UTC]
Haha yeah, I can relate to her a bit. I've never been mistaken for a boy because I am short and have disproportionately wide hips for my size, giving me a hint of feminine curves, but I have NO boobs, and am not overly feminine in personality or appearance. If it weren't for the hips, and if I cut my hair and stuff, I could possibly pass as a boy. A very cute/girly boy, but still...
Personally, I like girl characters that don't fit in the girl-character box. Makes things more interesting, and in a way even more realistic--too many female characters are overly...stereotypic/type-cast. I like seeing characters that aren't so cliche. And the somewhat-eccentric-inventor character type is traditionally male, so it's kinda refreshing to see a girl in that role. Adds a different dimension.

Oh trust me there shall be much more about this gal.
I always loved the beings with more than one horn, just never got around to putting them on a character of my own.
SO freaking glad I finally did.
Haha, lisps are the most adorable thing aren't they? I just mph! I love those little speaking quirks, whether its accents or lisps I just adore them!

Oh good, because I find her positively adorable.
The multitude of horns is always an interesting/cool look if done right. (And you did it right with Tikah...I love her horns)
Accents and lisps are so much fun to play with! And can be either super adorable, or extremely sexy >.> XD

For some reason everyone is calling her gender into question. <| Poor gal just can't seem to catch a break.
She just ignores all the gender rules by being quirky little bugger she is.
