Description
**Edit (11/3/17)** PLEASE DO NOT: edit/trace/copy/repost/use my art/characters for roleplay or in any way.Folks, I can't stress this enough. I know Veera has become popular, but she's also become a very personal character for me. So Please, be respectful and don't take my artwork or my character designs for your own use.
Alien Character Entry for my very first OCT
I like how she turned out
and I may use her outside of the OCT. Hell I don't even know how far I'll go even if I do make it in, but I know I'll have fun. Please let me know if you see any spelling errors or the like. use the colored parts for references if you draw her... they look better >.>
Critique encouraged
On to the audition!

This is great. It's one of the coolest alien designs I've seen so far.

Aaah, this is great <3 Such a cool character, I am in envy of your design skills!

I LOVE the concepts you played with for her. I kinda want to see her interacting with a character of mine, although that OC is a bit OP'ed for most places; she's from a more hard-core planet, but she hangs out around humans a lot in various dimensions, sooooo...yeah >.>;
Blabber blah blah blaberah much?

I really think your alien Veera and my alien OC Anak would totally get along. If Anak wasn't such a misanthrope. But I bet Veera would earn her respect and they'd end up kicking ass together.
Anak's species:Β fav.me/d9gvfbp
Anak:Β fav.me/d6vzlji Β (kinda old, not quite as accurate now one:Β fav.me/d7dzhf0 )
Toridians have indigo-ish blood, too, so I think one can safely argue whatever biological mechanism that makes that work, evolved convergently in my species as well as yours. So...VALIDATED.
Toridians actually originally had 2 sets of ears, too, but over time it changed into horns. It definitely works better in your favor. Anyway, I consulted Anak, and she is currently having a weapon-gasm. She prefers snipers and assault rifles, but your plasma blades are sexy as hell. I totally love to see them tearing up the galaxy together haha.
Wonderful work, and you got a Watch from me! ALIENS!!!!!!!!

Came from Whitewings' chibi of your character. Awesome character design, and the tech stuff is super cool as well! Kudos!

Like this, great concept for a badass alien chick! Β Love that you put so much detail into her anatomy, equipment, the fact she has a quest/purpose (to defeat her planet's evil overlord) even personality!
Mind if I draw her sometime? Β Full credit given of course

Thanks! I really wanted to make her believable as a character, plus I learned a lot breaking the anatomy down.
I don't mind at all! I'd be super flattered!

Interesting choice of arm usage, and general body structure. I love how it makes Veera ~uniquely~ not Human in it's own way ^w^

I read some of your "Rise" comics, and from what I read, it looks like a good story. I recommend eventually publishing it! Veera would have to be my favorite character, because she is basically a female version of Han Solo, my favorite character in "Star Wars." The comic is loaded with very interesting characters and sweetly-advanced technology. I give it a 10!

Hey what's her skin texture? Cuz I was wondering about whether or not her head tendril was grippable. Whether it was like scaley, or like slimy amphibian or what?
π: 0 β©: 1
Her skin is like a smooth leather, slightly textured, the only difference is along the head tendril and down the back are more resilient plating (its not actually scales but its almost like if slabs of hard but flexible cartilage were just under the skin)

Very intriguing character, and one that I would look forward to facing if we both get in!

That's an awesome design. It's great how you've integrated pretty much all the features often given to aliens (weird hands/feet, extra limbs, head tail, techno body armour, etc.) and made it not only WORK, but also made it original, and kinda sexy

Thanks so much! I'm just relieved I was able to make up an interesting design with a lot of the features I personally like without making it look too cliche.

Wow, she is so cool. I like her face expressions :3

How high is Veera? I didn't find it in the reference.
π: 0 β©: 1
AH ha! I knew I had forgotten something. Veera is about 6 feet tall and around 165 lbs. I'll add that into the Reference.

Really? :3 What about it do you like?
π: 0 β©: 1
Honestly?
everything:
the colors are great, the hair and spots on look good, i love the extra arms and feet, the armor is awesome, and the head tendril balances out her look, and i like her waepons and vehicle.
I really look forward to her audition.

Typos: "Weaknesses: Reactive shietld"
"giving an almost 0 deree turn radius"
Totally digging the expressions there. Like the shading on them, too.
Do the feet have a wraparound grip like a bird?

Thanks for pointing those out! It sucks because I have to copy the text over to firefox or word to have it spell checked and then paste the edited text back into photoshop. (I know there's already a spell check feature in photoshop but it crashes my program when I try to use it 
And lol, I edited a typo with a typo in Shield.
Her feet can't grip strong as a bird, but they do have more traction on surfaces due to her claws and "thumb-toes".

I figured out what weirded me out about her head tentacle. It's the angle. XD The way it's drawn, for some reason, makes it look like it's angled toward the viewer instead of following her body's angle in the image.
But! I like her. You have me wanting to draw Valyra and my squidthing. ...And a 'taur-esque alien. Damnit, stop appealing to my sci-fi love. D:
