Creating alien-like characters is something I'm really passionate about. There's something so intriguing about playing with unconventional skin tones like greens and oranges—it adds a whole new dimension to character design. When I started working on this particular character, I couldn't wait to get her out of my head and onto paper.
One of the aspects of this character that I'm especially proud of is her ears. I wanted them to be a focal point, almost like earrings in their own right, adorned with piercings throughout. They give her a unique and otherworldly appearance that I find really appealing.
In terms of inspiration, I drew from a blend of Cyberpunk and Star Trek aesthetics to create her look. I love the edgy, futuristic vibe of Cyberpunk combined with the adventurous spirit of Star Trek, and I wanted to capture that in her design.
The writing on her inner arm is a detail that I included to add an extra layer of intrigue to her character. It's a saying or phrase that held significance for me at the time, though I'll admit I've misplaced the exact meaning behind it. But rest assured, once I track it down, I'll update this description accordingly.
Overall, creating characters like her is not only fun but also a way for me to explore different themes and ideas. She represents a blend of my interests and influences, and I hope others find her as captivating as I do.
