"A stinging jellyfish who has mistakenly found herself deep in the underwater caverns of the underworld. Or perhaps it wasn't a mistake after all..." ---- She had first arrived in a rush of clear water and lustrous foam, neither of which was particularly fit for the place she had found herself in. It was quite dark, the few sources of light being the bioluminescent sea stars scattered amongst the floors and the jellyfish who had taken to the high ceilings, cascading in multitudes of blues, violets, and golds. It was also extremely crowded. Waves of intrepid sea creatures flowed through the caverns, some choosing to remain in their hybrid forms while others preferred the ease of gliding through the water as a marine being. Looking at the mishappen bodies of some of the hybrids and the thin trails of molten lava gushing from thin cracks in the stones, it was clear that she had died and ended up here. But surely there must have been some kind of mistake in the transfer here! She had been exceptionally good all her life. A life more than deserving of ending up anywhere but in this dark and gloomy place! Though, now that she thought about it…well… There was that one time she had accidentally wiped out an entire fish farm but was it really her fault they kept on swimming directly into her path? Or that other time when she had thrashed fearfully as a net had fallen onto her, inadvertently hitting one human in a spot that must have been especially painful given their loud wailing after the incident. Surely it couldn’t have been that bad, though? Right…? …Oh dear. Other: - absolutely fascinated by shiny trinkets - inexplicably good at astronomy (for a sea creature) - will either cry or claw your face if you try to talk to them - has definitely eaten their weight in baklava and is willing to do it again - uses their hair as a blanket when it gets too cold - daydreams instead of getting work done (and then wonders where the time went)
Extensions are for 1-2 weeks into April!! ---- Hello!! Welcome to the first design in my DTA set, “Underwater Underworld”! There will be a total of 6-8 designs based on a fusion of an underwater creature and an underworld beast! I’m very excited to be finally starting this and I hope you enjoy it too! ---- The first up in this set is a mix of a Pelagia noctiluca (jellyfish) and a classic horned demon! Space/arrows/click to see the colour palette and a version without her fancy clothing for a better hair ref!! (the circles represent colour gradients fyi!!) ---- Here’s a link to her Toyhouse profile for better graphics: https://toyhou.se/19220527.mauve-stinger Link to the image of the Pelagia noctiluca I was inspired by for this design: https://www.flickr.com/photos/22420957@N07/5774900684/ ---- General Rules: - No tracing, using bases, AI, or any form of artistic plagiarism (references are a-ok!) - Please link the entry on my profile after you remix with your entry so it’s easier for me to get to it! - If you win and have a way for me to send you a direct message on a different social account, I will send you the transparent PNG version of the character as well as an extra chibi of said character! :) - I will also transfer the ownership of the character over to you if you happen to have a Toyhouse profile. If not, no sweat! I’ll just delete the character from my personal character folder (and it will be yours lol) - That said, if you win please do not claim this art as your own! The character will be yours, but I’d appreciate it if you don’t claim my art as your own (༎ຶ⌑༎ຶ) - If you get the character, feel free to retrade/resell or change any features about the design! - Any form of media + platform is accepted – digital, traditional, etc! Just please don’t use any Gacha makers or that sort of stuff (reiterating from Rule #1 !!) - You can do more than one entry, but I’ll be mostly looking for quality over quantity when I decide a winner! Have a blast! Feel free to ask any questions I may have missed <3 \(★^∀^★)/ song: Sorrows of Strays -- HOYO-MiX
