Description A color test redesigning the color scheme and character design of the Aries Merc. Commander Serraphm Ghaston

Origionally there wasnt too much resemblance to Serraphm and Mae - which is a bit wrong on my part: the valkries are all essentially duplicates of one another (though Serraphm is a 'false' valkrie; her base anatomy was constructed from a valkrie). As a note on the picture; it's not that much of a spoiler - but Serraphm's natural form looks fairly child like: she assumes a 'command' form that reconstructs her anotomy to be more efficient and more mature by uncompressing her naturally dense body and forming more rigid bone and muscle structure.

Hurrah for shapeshifting abominations of nature.

I also darkened her tones for hair and skin (both have a greyish/green tint to them) to enhance the unnatural look she is supposed to have.

Cool sketch style, and nice work on the progression here. It is noticeable, and you can still tell who the character is. That is what counts. Nice one.

Ahahaha Icy, the young/command versions of Serraphm reminded me of a picture you drew a while back, featuring Eve and Mae on the beach, titled "Lolikon Duo". Your perversion knows no limits, but that's one of the reasons I like you.

So, in her "natural" form, Serraphm is lolibait, is she? You really are a hentai, just like me.

OH SHI-

YAY for shapeshifting abominations of nature!!! Very nice look, and great scientific look into how she can change. I don't find many people who do that nowadays.

Disturbing obsession with hentai? W.O.W.?.... Oh, rules in Shadowlark!? Yeah, that's true too.

Coming from the rule breaker of all, yeeeaaaaah. Hmh. I can believe the hentai thing. WoW too. You know, I have an obsession with when I make a character, I have to expand on her so much, I often find myself in a writer's block. That makes the character dull to me then and poof, move on. x3

Nice idea with her real form being the younger one. I like that. The Faving begins.

Ooooh - my favorite topic power classification! (woohooooo!

Serraphm is what is called a 'skin shifter'. That is to say her powers are psionic in nature: a form of biomancy that allows her to modify her ownphysical composition. Serraphm is much more knowledgable about anatomy, zoology, and biology than she is a 'bad ass fighter'. Using a combination of creativity and knowledge she can form and alter her body into any number of forms (or combinations) so long as A: it's biologically possible, and B: she maintains a consistant mass. She really is a monster - and in full swing she usually looks like a mass of limbs, chimeric animals, and body weapons. Its kinda gross :3

So she can't change into anything very big or very small and apparently not limited to humanoid form? Interesting. Can she copy other people's appearances?

Icymasamune In reply to Artificer-Urza [2006-06-22 04:02:44 +0000 UTC]

mostly: her eyes are biometal (one of the few holdovers from her origional Valkrie body) so she can't manipulate them the way she can her 'cellular organic' bits - because of this she always has the trademark gold/silver lenses for eyes of the valkries. Soooo - as long as the eyes arnt an issue, yes she can copy someone.

Awesome redesign of Serraphm - how much more ass can she kick now? I'm betting plenty. Interesting idea to have two different "modes".

Icymasamune In reply to Tammohawk [2006-06-21 22:49:42 +0000 UTC]

The 'modes' was always a part of the concept - just hadnt really popped up in the story

The first thing I thought when I saw this picture was, "Ah! She has green skin!". XD She's cute when she's not in "command mode". -^.^-

Thats another of those things I should do a good presentation of: the Aries Arms logo (its actually two 'A's with a triangle framing an Aries sign in the middle).

Yeah, I'm becoming more and more of a fan of your work with each of these pictures I see.

Like this for instance. Her character design is simple, but enough to get you to stop and take a good look at her. I'm really diggin' the hair, man. Nice job.
