Whoa... OK, relax
I never expected such an overwhelming reaction to any drawing of mine (and this is just a sketch!), so I'm quite flattered (and positively shocked, if anything like that exists). Thank you!
If you like it this much, I simply can't refuse, so do go ahead and use it! (Crediting me would be very nice, thanx)
And of course I'd like to know more about that "thing on your computer" you're planning

okay so that thing on my computer is about this girl(her hair was originaly black)who has a specal ganetik querk that makes her have a higher body temp and the abilaty to heal 10 times as fast as a normal human.and these evil guys who needed a person with that defect to use as a lab rat for eperementing. they kill her family but holds onto her sister for leverage.The experement works but she escapes and shes not sureif her sister is alive or dead.(im not sure how to write it)so shes on the run and like meets these other people she befrends.im writeing it and i think i might post it on here.(or ill just keep it to myself)the experement made her body temp rise to 115 degrees.And if she broke every bone in her body it would only take a day to heal.IM FAVING THIS BY THE WAY.

This sounds really cool and fascinating, if you ask me!
I'd love to read it if you decide to post it

I think I'll leave this sketch as it is now, and if I ever continue working on it (and maybe even finish it) I'll let you know.
I just hope you won't be disappointed by the coloured version (as it might not correspond to the image you have of your character).
By the way: the tattoo I wrote about in the description is probably going to be a lily.

That's what I was originally planning, so don't worry, I won't replace it.
This will remain a sketch and I'll upload the finished pic seperately.

Don't feel down , 'cause you think you can't draw !
You need a lot of practice , patience , endurance (don't give up !) and enthusiasm to reach a certain degree of professionalism . Genius is overrated . It might make things easier for you, but that's about all. If you work hard , you can become far better than any lazy genius ! Use your envy towards others to improve your own skills (that's what I did). It may be a struggle , but it's possible and one day people will look up to you and will try to be as good as you. They'll close the circle by going the same way you did .
This is the same for almost everything!

OK, that was a bit ... corny ... but anyway!

PS: Yes, I do LOVE all these emoticons!

Aww ... Don't hurt yourself ...

Some name-suggestions would be:
Achromia / Achromasia - other names for albinism
Axantha - axanthism: a kind of albinism in reptiles and amphibians

I got those two from Wikipedia. They might be a bit too scientific, but it's all I can think of right now ... XD

I think it's wonderful that you want to be a nurse! I wish I knew what I want to be ...

I had thought of this name:moonbeam beacause she can shoot white lasers out of her hand.But that just sounds kinda wierd and a little too spesific. And the names you supply are good but kind of hard to pronounce.other sugestions:moonlight.Diana(after the greek goddes).
I actualy like the first one .Achromia.I would remember that.But im not sure if shel be a hero or an in between like one of those "ive got powers and im not going to flaunt them." and since you are letting me use the pic.(I like the new one)you can chose out of these three options
1.Her sister was murderd and she is on the run and stops in a town where she makes some frends and she does some heroing ocasionaly.
2.Her sister isnt dead But she doesent know and she alwase heros in memory of her sis and starts showing up in the newspapers and saves a girl who takes a personal interest in her.
3.I cant think of anything else

Wow, I feel honoured to be allowed to choose the basic storyline (in a way at least)!

Well, I'd definitely go for number 3! ... Only kidding
I absolutely love the idea of "doing some heroing occasionally". Reading that, I just burst out laughing! It sounds so cool and casual.

A: What are you doing for a living?
B: Oh, nothing much. I do some heroing occasionally...

But, peaceful as I normally am, I want her sister to be alive, so how about a mix between 1) and 2)? You probably should keep the readers guessing, whether she's alive or not. The story might get more suspenseful this way.

Letting the girl (not the sister) have more than just one friend will probably be more interesting for the readers, but more stressful for you too, as it results in having to think of more different personalities (which can be a real pain in the ... donkey*).

These are my opinions, but in the end it's up to you. It is your story after all.

As for the names: Greek gods are always a good choice, I think.
They're so human! I like "Diane".

And about Moonlight:
If you want to make it less obvious, why not try a different language?

Chinese: Yueguang
Italian: Lume Di Luna
Spanish: Claro De Luna
French: Clair De Lune (Though I'd go for Claire here)
Russian: Lunnyi Svet
German: Mondschein / Mondstrahl (the second is Moonbeam)

I can't guarantee for all these word's correct spellings and meanings, as I don't speak all those languages (apart from German and French), but it sounds about right to me ...
Personally, I like Lunnyi, but it doesn't sound like a superhero name at all.
So maybe Claire De Lune is better, because it's
1) a name,
2) French for moonlight,
and 3) can be literally translated as "Claire from the moon", which indicates her uniqueness and maybe even strangeness.

I hope that helps!


*Hooray for bad puns!

Looking them up was nothing, really.
I had to look something up on a translation site anyway, and those are the languages it offered, so I simply took a look.

Now this might be a stupid question, but are you going to call her Claire or Clarie? I'm slightly confused
