Description I collected a bunch of the doodles I've done of Gretta recently. I mostly wanted to play around with different colored light overlays, like the one with the cat is supposed to be in front of the fire, or the one with the hands coming out of her head is supposed to be under a spotlight. I'm kind of trying to perfect how I draw her too. It's hard to make somebody so skinny that they look almost anorexic, but without drawing any bones popping out. I can't give her hips, I can't give her a spine-line, or show her ribs or give her sharp angles on her knees or elbows.

I made some changes to the nature of her abilities too. She's still as noodly as ever, but even more so now. She has complete awareness and control of every part of her body (except her hair). Every part of her has the capability to become rubbery and super compressed, allowing her to fit through virtually any crack. Unfortunately that stiff plastic collar she wears limits her to whatever it can fit through. For some reason, she refuses to take it off except for emergencies.
The second part is her ability to form more of herself. The little spines on the back of her head (that until recently I'd been completely forgetting were even there) are actually fingers. Her clones will leap out from the back of her head whenever she allows it. The clones are almost nonphysical, possibly representations of her thoughts. They're easily destroyed, disappearing into a cloud of smoke if struck hard enough. Each clone is a different color version of Gretta, but personality wise is essentially the same. They have an almost hivemind type thing going on, with the clones knowing exactly what Gretta wants without her having to specifically tell them. Though they can act independently of her, if they get too far away they can't properly function, and then turn to smoke. Gretta tends to never make more than three or four, but she is capable of more if exerted. Too many will make her feel lightheaded (haha). She refers to them by the German words for their colors.

That cat there is Mr. Mistoffelees, belonging to Sebastian. When I turned Sebastian from a pig into a dog, I considered getting rid of Mr. M, but the irony was too good. Both Gretta an Sebastian love old Mr. M to pieces.

Aaaaaand yeah that's pretty much it on Gretta for now.

Gretta is the best. The idea of her wriggling under someone's door and getting snagged on her collar is hysterical. Your sketches of her are always fun to look at because they're so expressive.

I just might have to draw that.

I have a rule for when drawing Gretta that her teeth must always be visible, no matter what expression she's making.
