Hopefully I'll finally start publishing stuff again.

Been a stressful few months. Sadly not a lot of recent things ready to go yet.
Though I have been hit by a weird idea, if one I'm not sure on.
Namely this:
Soul Calibur is back, as is Ivy Valentine.
And I just have the feeling that Ivy needs to go through some changes. Yet I'm flummoxed by what they should be?
What animal could work? Full feral or not. Horse sort of seems appropriate but I'm not sold really. Maybe lizard or something? Go for a Primal Rage reference and have her channel the soul of something positively Cretaceous?
Plenty of inanimate things could work, a classic mix of tg and brazen sexual corruption perhaps... maybe something weirder and more monstrous?
I just don't know. It feels like a missed opportunity that there's so little content using her, but I'm not sure where to start.

Or maybe a shark-morph? There's lot of neat anthro takes on that to look to for inspiration.
(A friend mentioned plants too, which could work for the inanimate nicely.)
As for the sex-toy angle, there were those clock-work dolls as bonus characters in a couple soul caliburs. A lewd spin on that could easily put Ivy as something more suited for a bedroom than a battlefield.
The national animal of England is the lion, but that feels better for a fully feral (and likely tg tf at that). Horses are common still, at least as an element of English culture and nobility, which would make a suitable 'made into a beast of burden' direction.
Though the thought occures to me that a full 'sea monster' change (loch ness inspired or otherwise) could also work wonders for that direction. Thanks for the ideas. They've really been helping me here.
