Description It's a whale that makes Orca's look like guppy's XD. Anyways; this is Violet, a powerful Basilosaurus. I'm not exactly sure where to put her, but right now I'm thinking of having her be a member of the Mezosaurs (1: because I feel there isn't enough gender diversity in the group and 2: because it might be an interesting character dynamic to have a morally questionable character be a regular and active member as opposed to just being honorary or temporary)

I'm not sure how to handle her fins (or would it be paddles?) so I have three versions. I don't really expect anyone from DA to comment a choice out of the three (since begging for help here NEVER seems to work), but it will help getting opinions IRL and on Twitter.

EDIT
The basic way Aquatic characters are drawn was phased out so now we're left with B and C.
B) is where her arms grow from under the flippers. I personally like this one better because it gives her more or a bruiser look to her
C) is where the flippers grew with her arms, so now they're attached to the back of her forearms at the elbow. I have used this before with other aquatic animals, but I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Which one will be the winner: B or C?!

Thanks ^v^ I think B looks the best too (Though I thought I would try to get my audiences opinion first), I think it makes her look like the bruiser she's supposed to be XD.

It's a little hard to tell what her fins are like when her arms are folded like that.Β  Maybe try a different stance?

A is how fins are more traditionally handled with FC's, with them being small and attached to the elbows.
B the fins are attached to her shoulders
C Β the fins are attached to her forearms (kind of like thisΒ pyrorptrs.deviantart.com/art/I… )

Ah.

I'd go with C.Β  That way she'd have the most control over them.
