I got bored. So it was a round through the GIMP machine for Tasha.

Also, I came up with a bit of a backstory to explain why Tasha looks like a walking art show.
First of all, if you didn't know, Tasha is a character that exists within Rynk's side of the whole "Rynk+Avelyn looking for eachother" story line. Her excuse-for-catgirls race that exists within their homeworld, Alathzenek, are called Mariens. Mariens live primarily on a group of tropical islands that their people named "Kakao." Among the islands and the divisions within them, the Mariens organize themselves within tribes and clans, and though usually get along with one another, each tribe has its own methods of doing things, traditions, politics, and seperate culture (though all the tribes' cultures are derivitive of the same basis.) It should be noted that the Marien race produces a low percentage (nearly 1/15 or so) of male offspring, so males are usually kept and stay at home where it's safer, while the females handle the usual male stereotypes as hunters and tribe leaders. Because of the lack of males, it was also not uncommon and generally accepted for a Marien to couple with an "outsider" of another race--such partnerships would only produce a child of the same race as the mother.

ANYWAYS, within each tribe, "Families" (literally the same thing) make up smaller factions within them. Each Marien family within a single tribe has its own specific duty such as either being tailors, fishermen, traders, hunters, messengers, etc. Tasha was born into a family of hunters, with her father being a human "outsider" that was sailing around charting new lands not yet offically recorded on the world's maps. The red triangle-shaped marks and circles are her tribe's symbols for 'hunters', supposedly resembling either small pools and tracks of animal blood and bloody claws or fangs. The more experienced the huntress was, the more red "fangs" she would have painted into her skin.
As for all the black marks, most of them--save for the one around her right thigh, which was the signature of her allignment with her specific tribe--are there simply for show or sentimental purpose. Tasha had a close friend on the island who was particularly skilled and enjoyed printing the tattoos on others, and often allowed her to practice and essentially "doodle" on her.

Also, just as a neat little note, I purposely made it somewhat ironic that Tasha has one of her huntress prints in the same place that Rynk has his scar because she was one of the main reasons he got that scar in the first place.

Hmm...

Something along the lines of "Dai Ten Ku", most likely.

Ya, that was REALLY hard to find out.


Seiche, da tenko vestron siconcha rekrov.

:P I love being able to speak in ways very few others know. And for the record, that wa snot a language only I know. You just have to find the right source. But it's not an official language, so Nikki likely won't know it.

All you did was take your previous drawing of her and color it... Or painted it, is what it looks like.

Paint > color

... That was the POINT, CC. to color a previously made picture.

Her hair looks like one of those crazy sea animals that look like rubber and cling to rocks. the skin looks good, though.

Thanks guys.

But um... CC, I've BEEN just coloring the drawings that I've ALREADY drawn. Where were you like, all this year? I'm not going to draw her AGAIN just to color it when I've already drawn her once, and can color the picture I've already finished. I barely know how to even reply to your statement, because I don't have a freakin' clue as to what you're trying to say by it.

Please clear this up for me >.>

edit!-
And btw,
I didn't color it.
I didn't paint it.
It's called Photoshop.
