Description

Once again re-hashing the same ol' model sheet that I've been using. So sue me, this is what we call lack of time >_>; But when I do model sheets for my main characters, I'll be doing different poses and stuff, but not for these race characters X3 So deal.

Anyways this is my new character, Magnolia, a fish-like creature that is part of the race, Calanthra. The Calanthra race has been created by PE, the Private Exchange, and is exclusive ONLY to members of PE. This race was created due to inspiration from one of our PE members, *showkaizer :3 who has created his own Cilessian race ^.^ *that mos of us all know and love* So yar! Go fishy goodness!!

Magnolia, and the entire Calanthra race, are named after flowers *of course*. Sort of like flora-fish people. They also, as a main race trait, have bioluminescent markings on their bodies, so the pink colored markings on Magnolia actually glow.
I don't have much info on Magnolia yet, but here are some tid bits on her so far :3

Magnolia is an Albino fish. She was born with pure white skin and blood red eyes. Due to her defect she is also completely blind, hence why she wears her hair over her eyes. This idea was given to me by seeing this image done by =dreamworldstudio . So I decided to just completely cover her eyes to represent her blindness ^.^d
Magnolia is going to be a 'seer' of sorts, more of a mystic then an actual fighter type. But she does have a psychic weapon, the Dolch'a *daggers*, just incase combant is in order. The blade of the daggers are made of psychic energy so when they are not in use only the hilts can be seen. Her other senses are heightend since she's been blind all her life, so she's developed keen senses to help her survive and thrive. Her eyes are blood red and frog-like as well, but it's rare for anyone to every really see them.
Magnolia loves water and she usually spends her time in the water then on the land. Hence why her outfit is so skimpy...since a lot of clothes would slow one down trying to swim thru the water. As well, Magnolia's tail is like that of an eel, which helps her speed thru the water.

I don't have any more information yet, but I'll have a great long bio for Magnolia soon in the furure ^_^ soo keep your eyes open.

Ack! I didn't get to finish my comment~! -weeps- That was a total mistake on my part....x.x;

But I was saying, it's a mix of fish and flora...which is really unique...and I wish I was a part of the Private Exchange so I could make a character out of that race...-le sigh- Oh well!!

Sorry again for the extra comment. XD

Same with this l like about Lime. Character depelopment is fun. I love it despite its the same model, I'm really thinking of doing the same with a base for my characters. I wish I could draw that good and photoshop stuff like that. Artists like Sayda are too good. I'm in love with all their work they do. Jeese I hope I can get that good one day. I admire all your work, just awesomeness!

Sayda In reply to oneofthefallen [2005-02-06 01:13:48 +0000 UTC]

Mmmm, getting an artist alley table near each other is going to be hard to do this year since table placements are random unless you are buying a full table with someone else. And unfortunatly I'm already going in as a studio group with *One-Vox and * ScarletHawk , so we wouldn't beable to get a table together as a group But who knows how it will go, I'm sure we'll see each other there anyways :3

I forgot to ask you something... I wonder if you use some kind of "base" for your character sheets (or for your other stuff)...
Thank you to show me a great gallery like that

Sayda In reply to DarKalimHero [2005-02-06 01:10:49 +0000 UTC]

She a fish girl, so yes, they are fish fins ^__^d As for the 'base' I have been using one recently for characters I have been designing for other peoples alien races. They are all based off of the model sheet I did for my own original character, Sayda/Chaos. But when I start working more on my other characters that arn't race characters, I'll be using different poses and such for them ^_^
But well, I'm glad you liked my art so much ^___^ I feel loved ^.^d
