Description I got the go-ahead!
This is the art I did for the cover of my university's literary journal, for the theme Unnatural Selection. It's a bit old now but I'm still really happy with how it came out! 
I didn't really have any specific inspiration for it - this image kind of just came into my mind, so I drew it!

I'm not sure whether to put mature content on it or not, it's a bit disturbing I know. If you think I should put the filter on, please let me know!

Thank you for your input on the mature content thing! And yeah, I didn't really have any kind of backstory in my head when I designed her but she probably is some kind of genetically modified human And thank you so much for your kind words! ^^

You are welcome, for the feedback. She reminded me a bit of a character; that you would get in the tv series Dark Angel. They originally started out with genetically modified soldiers, who had super strength. But, in the second season, there was all sorts of different creatures, who were part human mixed with animal or fish DNA. So, she could be something similar in a story!

Enjoy your day!

I will, you too!

Yes, it had a very cool story. Sadly though, it only ran for two seasons; and then I think it got cancelled in America. So, I never saw anymore, here in the UK. But, basically it stars the lovely Jessica Alba, who is a genetically modified soldier, who was previously used by the government, to be the ultimate soldier. But, the government treated them badly, so a few of them escaped into the world. She meet this guy, who is like a rebel, who reports all the corrupt goings on in the world, under a secret identity. And, she basically helps him, with certain missions, but also has to escape the government army, who is constantly trying to recapture her. The second season is about them overthrowing the organisation and releasing a lot more genetically modified people into the world. But, this time, some have DNA, which is mixed with other animals. Max herself is mixed human DNA with Cat DNA, but she looks totally human, to look at her. Except, at times she gets a bit sexually on heat, due to her Cat DNA, which causes her a few problems. I fully recommend it though. It is an old series, but you can still get it on DVD. And, you never know. Some people might have posted a few episodes on the internet, such as YouTube.

Enjoy your day!

I think this is one of my favorite drawings that you've ever made, hands down! Not only is the concept super unique, but the lighting, the shading, the choice of colors...I cannot even fathom how amazing this is. My favorite thing about it has to be the scales, the heart and the pop of color it brings, and her gaze, its haunting, I love it (=✪ᆽ✪= )! I know this is old, but it still looks fantastic!

Oh you are welcome. Hey do you mind me calling you kitten sometimes for I just want to check for I was thinking to myself what to say then it dawned on me if I can’t think of to call her kitten maybe it would be a good idea to check with you instead of just saying “kitten” or “my dear friend” so I just want to check.

Arasteia In reply to Eros-Valentine [2017-11-07 04:49:11 +0000 UTC]

Of course my dear friend I always self diagnose myself and this was one thing that I was diagnosing to see Hell I know why I like to call you kitten though I didn’t know if you liked it though I am guess you are fine with my dear kitten hahahaha get it combing both.

Eros-Valentine In reply to Arasteia [2017-11-07 20:29:20 +0000 UTC]

Good girl but why no kitten I am curious now I liked calling you “kitten” because you are younger than me and I am guessing you are smaller than me 6’4 I don’t want to convert it so you can. Though last time I checked it was close to 2 meters I believe ehh. Nah I like you as a friend so I don’t want to lose you by doing stuff you don’t like.

Ehhh don’t be sorry in this world we got to say what makes us uncomfortable I mean it is not like you telling me that I am Microaggressiong you or something beyond stupid you are just saying it makes you uncomfortable so dont be sorry. If we ever become besties haha I can’t believe I said that but I’d say if we become best friends we have to walk down the road of honesty so thank you for being honest.
