On alternate characters.

General
Again, I'd like to thank everybody for their input on my 'character' journal. There was a lot more replies than I ever expected, and a lot of very well thought-out and insightful comments for me to mull over.
The short of it is, I won't be giving up Sky, nor 'demoting' him. I've been him for so long, it's difficult to imagine myself as anything BUT him. He does need an overhaul though, to better reflect current times, and attitudes. I will also introduce several 'secondary' personas that tie directly into my settings.
It's little known that I do, in fact, have a couple settings (well, settingish) locales that all my characters all participate in. I've never had an opportunity to explore these, and I had a fun project idea to do once my current financial crisis is resolved, and all comissions are complete.
As I said, these personas will be very setting specific in most cases.
So far, I've begun narrowing down interesting species I might enjoy exploring. The settings themselves will remain vague until I'm ready for my project.
As of right now, I'm looking into these for potential character material:
1. DINOSAUR (leaning towards Allosaurus, but hardosaurs, pteradactyl, and several others have crossed my mind.)
2. MARINE (Marine mammals, mollusks, and picine species. Stingray and especially Barracuda have been wedged into my imagination.)
Just thought you'd all like an update. :)

FA+

1. DINOSAUR: pteradactyl since they are the rarest type on FA
2. MARINE: Baracuda does sound like it would make a interesting anthro.
Gets my vote :D
Also, Pterodactyl seems a bit too similar to a wyvern, doesn't it? :S Or maybe that's why it's perfect for you. :>
I will gladly offer any and all help I can, especially with marine mammals:) I was actually pondering a dahl's porpoise or hourglass phin for you hon, sicne it's similar to sky's coloration:)
I'm still contemplating dolphin, or perhaps orca. But I really love how unusual varracuda ans stingray are. :)
maybe a little:P
*nods* go with what feels right:) you already know my vote(especially with kirsten, murr!) but both of those are fun and unusual as well:)
