Okay, this pic has kinda a funny story. See, in art, we've been doing five-minute life sketches of this plastic skeleton, and it's so straight and stiff and...yuck. I can never get it done right. So, sick of hard things, I wanted something fluid. And what's more fluid than water? Well, maybe a Lombax (as C-Puff pointed out, Lombax and cats are classified as living liquids rather than animals). I've been playing too much Lengend of Zelda: the Wind Waker lately, too. That's what's up with the water's looks. Also, Vel can't hoverboard for beans (because she's a chicken and doesn't want to fall and hurt herself), but she can waterboard like nobody's bussiness. Water's soft and doesn't hurt when you hit it. The lighting's funny; her eyes aren't that blue. They've got more green in them. I like the swimsuit, though. Almost like mine. Well, actually, it's greener than mine, and the cut is different, but I like it. I also like the effect of wind in her ears and hair. Her tail is funny, but it's livable.
