A Halulu Change
12 years ago
Thinking about some Halulu changes, I've had her for a few years now and I'm thinking about freshening her up and changing her story a bit to suit her personality. Before I had her as a South Pacific islander, but I think I'm gonna change it, feel free to comment and post suggestions to each of these possible change points, let me know what you think!
Change 1) Removal of head fin: its kind of a pointless thing that, I know she's had it for ever but I dont think it seems to fit anymore. Smooth head, and the fin will either be relocated to her back, or gone entirely.
Change 2) Backstory, I'm thinking of making her now a former Soviet Union citizen from one of the Aleutian islands closer to Russia, or from the nothern Russian/Siberian coast. Possibly a military back ground, I imagine her in a grey camo tube top, grey camo speedo, like, this half length military jacket that doesnt go down past her tits and doesnt close over them, and maybe a black with red band soviet naval cap.
Change 3) Possible conversion to five toed feet and five fingered hands. I love two toed feet, I do, but all my characters now are two toed feet, and there is something to be said about giant, massive, five toed feet with well groomed nails. I dunno about this one, its a fairly major change, but most of the times she's been drawn, with the exception of
modemredpill and
madturtle the two toed feet never come out right, and its kind of always disappointing.
Any other suggested changes? Lemme know!

FA+

Also can always consider the saurian three toed style.
I vote for moving the headfin down to her back, likely between her shoulder blades; it's the most physiologically logical place to go:) on her head if she turns her head to look at something underwater it makes her whole body move to one side.
As for the history; how would this effect her sister? Rusiia or siberia could work, as could norway(dear heaven, her in viking gear would be terrifying), although looking at how it might change the rest of her family history could be interesting.
The two fingered hands is up to you; it was inspired by characters I helped get into the public light, apparently, so at the same time I find them an interesting choice while also physiologically a bit impractical.
well, my thoughts are not so much on particality, as we can't measure that, but the ability to say, hold a cup or use a baseball bat would be challenging, I think, for lack of ability to exert even pressure; for examples, I cite the "short Circuit" movie series
And I agree, fin on the back, not to mane Hir look more "normal" but I think its better than on the head.. and that goes for sharks too!
2: Sounds good
3: Your call
Above all else, make sure whatever you choose is OK by you and not -just- a popular vote. :)
