(Contest entree for ivy comb)

“Sometimes the sweets things in the world are the most dangerous. Just because she’s silent, doesn’t mean she’s deadly. And the mysteries of the universe can’t be unlocked unless you have the key.”


Notes: In the fandom, I try to find a species that is unusual to standout. And aquatics are very rare, so I found the chambered Nautilus for its unique style and patterns.

I decided give her sonic headphones to hear underwater. Hydro heated pads for her to travel underwater (like an underwater jet pack). Even bioluminescence to see in deep parts of the seas. With her mouth once being tentacles that mirage into a mouth and tongue by evolution.

Being an evolution of the chambered Nautilus, millions upon millions of years into the future. Looking upon what ancient race of man had left behind.


Reference: On the left is her standard ref, and the other is her bioluminescence from her cape and headphone “ears”. It’s hard to me to choose one prompt, so I picked all three into one character.
