Description
Naturally, in case you didn't know, most laima/naga characters are stereotypically cast as dangerous, voracious creatures that will eat just about anything or anyone - at least online. This is partly the reason why I decided to create Laura, to break from the mould and show a more sensitive lamia. Least of all one who'd rather love humans than devour 'em.But then by pure curiosity, I discovered ~Kaiman123 's character Kaiten and browsing through his bio, he's really had me gripped as a truly fleshed-out and sympathetic naga - a MALE one, even, which is quite a rarity!
So naturally, this is basically what came out of an afternoon's worth of doodles. And it took the best part of this evening to create two semi-perfect lineless deviations.
So....yeah

Awwwh. She is very cute! In over bearing sort of way. I understand your qualms about nagas. They are often portrayed as too voracious.
Alot of mythological monster girls are. Though I personally have the opposite problem! Alto of my OCs are not voracious enough! XD And humans take too much advantage of it. So I guess you can't win either way.

Th' pleasure was all mine, believe me. I'll have to properly check out more of Kai when I can, least of all to help inspire more ideas for Laura

Well, being with Laura like this is like getting caught in quicksand; the more you struggle the deeper you'll sink in X3
But she's lovely, very protective of anyone she likes or cares about.
Thanks most kindly

Well it's nice to see a naga that isn't a mindless people eater, very sweet.

Here, here. She's even delicate with her prey (rabbits) to ensure of a "happy meal" each time

LOL, lamia hugs - best way to go, prey or not X3

lol, It's cool. Like mistaking an Alligator for a Crocodile or a Raven for a Crow - easy to make

well you can tell the difference very easily actually! alligators only have their top row of teeth showing when they close their mouths and crocodiles have both bottom and top showing with their mouth closed and ravens are often twice the size of crows with a much thicker beak and wings.
I got way to technical didn't I? XD

They look pretty sweet together, it has to be said. Interesting to see a male take on this creature as well. Ace job on the lineless look here, as well as the soft colours.

Nice pair of snake folks! Laura looks especially cute this time! And one can totally relate to her sudden burst of tenderness about finding someone she could relate to... ahh...
Poor Kaiten. I assume he's setting his cervical vertebrae right after the Great Hug.
The lineless style looks very good! Plus the abstract geometric forms as a background are really cool!

Thank ya so much! It's been a while since I've tried lineless works, and this one took ages to get right - notably for Kai's scale markings to look perfect
