Okay, so here's the last Monster High OC from my "Wave two" series (which started with Raven). She's Octamina, the Daughter of Octaman (not to be confused with the character from F-Zero know as Octoman), which was written by Harry Essex, who also wrote Creature From the Black Lagoon (Octaman can't even hold a candle to that classic BTW. It's B Movie goodness though).

Anyway, Octamina comes from a large family living in and by the radioactive waters near a small Spanish fishing village. She usually spends her summers traveling abroad (either swimming herself or by boat), to different countries (and/or worlds), making new friends, trying new foods, and getting her grubby mits on various ales, tonics, meads, and wines. She even enrolled at Monster High in hopes of making more friends as well as leaning some new things.

Octamina has a crush on Kurt Thulhu, but won't act on it because she is aware that Riana West also has a crush on him. She sees Riana as a good friend...as well as someone who, if provoked, would probably capture family members and experiment on them for personal amusement.

I plan to make Octamina a NeverRealms OC, albeit a different origin.


Name: Octamina
Daughter of Octaman
Age: 17
Killer Style: I don't see myself as being "fashionable" since my family has a tendency to wear whatever washes up on shore; second hand stuff with a bit of nautical-themed jewelry. Some might say my style is a bit tacky, but personally I like it.
Freaky Flaw: oh that's easy. I have compound eyes (even though one can't really tell by looking). Even though I'm 17, I still haven't gotten used to it yet so it makes thing confusing (walking into things not withstanding at times. How do those killer bees do it?). I'm hoping it can be corrected once I'm a full adult. Quintuple vision sucks!
Favorite color: I love all colours, thank you.
Favorite food: Mollusks and Ale! Or Sushi and Buckfast. It's a tie!
Favorite Activity: Traveling around the worlds and making new friends along the way.
Pet Peeve: Pessimists. No matters what, they always bring me down. Also, I wish Grim Lynn would stop asking me about "Attack of the Octopus People." I honestly don't know what he's talking about.
Favorite School Subject: Oh, I think Oceanography is the best!
Least Favorite School Subject: I don't feel that there's any such thing as a least favourite school subject.
Pet: La Gata is my Octopussy. She's so cute! <3

Mentor: Lagoona Blue

Do you mean the rhyming part? It's was inspired by some of the original taglines from "Octaman".

I LOVE it! Do Swamp Thing and Toxic Avenger get daughters, too? Great work, as usual. I love that you give these descriptive backgrounds. It shows your passion for what you do and makes us able to appreciate it all the more.

Not sure about Swamp Thing (it's a good idea though) but =Candy2021 has Oxford Junko, the Son of the Toxic Avenger. Anyway, thank you. I like putting a lot of thought into my fan character, but I still don't take them as seriously as my original character (which I guess Octamina would count as one since she's in my original story as well, just older and with a different origin).

I love her, I have a similar "tentacle-hair" character (though modelled in the Aah! Real Monsters! Universe). Tentacle-hair potential for awesomeness is great

HotaruThodt In reply to deaddoll00 [2012-02-04 21:59:50 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, and tentacles hair character are awesome. I'm actually thinking of having Octamina here cross over and become a NeverRealms OC.

What a lovely sea creature I love the contrast between her skin tone and her "hair", as well as her nail polish & makeup, that shade of green seriously rocks! Great work, as usual

HotaruThodt In reply to LadyMadCat [2012-02-01 18:58:57 +0000 UTC]

Heehee. It took forever to come up with a decent colour scheme for her. I wanted her to be colourful and a bit radioactive looking. I do love that shade of green thanks.

LadyMadCat In reply to HotaruThodt [2012-02-01 19:45:49 +0000 UTC]

YW I really like looking at all those vibrant colors! Probably because everything is so dull and colorless in RL during the wintertime, LOL.

HotaruThodt In reply to LadyMadCat [2012-02-07 17:00:03 +0000 UTC]

Yeah this is true. People get weirded out when I paint rainbow-y things, but I really do enjoy colours. ^.^;
My drawing teacher noticed I had a tendency to use a lot of heavy blacks and reds in my traditional art. I was like "but...but...you hasn't seen my digital stuff! T_T"

LadyMadCat In reply to HotaruThodt [2012-02-07 19:20:06 +0000 UTC]

Blacks and reds always work, whether it's art, clothing or makeup
A lot depends on the medium as well, different vibrant colors are much easier to recreate using the computer.

Exactly. I mean I like experimenting when I work, so I should be allowed to without getting weird looks. People who bitch better watch it before I post more Rainbow Brite fanart.

HotaruThodt In reply to LadyMadCat [2012-02-08 19:36:27 +0000 UTC]

lolz. Well Rainbow brite was the 80s so she's nostalgia for me. I drew an adult version of her a couple of years ago and people got freaked out because I made something bright and colouring.
