Kulurien's outfit is perfect, thank you! :D i hadn't considered using dark red, but you're absolutely right about it, it tones down the rest of her design, which lets the oranges that she already has just shine!!! I never even heard of the Igneous Iguana before but it's just perfect and really completes the look!!! :D :D
As for Marenia's design, the Eerie Cyan jewelry you used looks perfect for the spell anchor! :D and I never would have thought of the Unicorn mane, but it actually helps balance out the warm orange of her wings with the more cool tones of her primary!
But, yeah, now that it's not like, 2 in the morning anymore, i can see where the problems i was having with Marenia's design would also mean problems for your design process. thinking about it now, she's actually got like, 3 or 4 different layers of stuff going on?
1 "i'm a perfectly ordinary navigator, you should definitely hire me on your ship"
2 "okay you caught me, i'm not an ordinary navigator, i'm enhancing my skills wìth magic and/or connections to pefectly benevolent Maren clans"
3 "that was just a cover story, i'm actually a spy, using my job on your ship to pass information to other, non benevolent, Maren clans"
and 4 "i'm literally a Maren in disguise"
i was looking for something more along the lines of level 2 and/or 3 but it makes perfect sense for you jump to level 4, since even i didn't even realize there were this many layers going on until i was writing this post and had to put my vague thoughts into, you know, words that are capable of explaining things
But anyway, the stuff that did work was amazing, and even the stuff that didn't work at least helped me to realize why it didn't work, so thank you! Talking to you really helped! :D
