I’m still calling it a shiny ok

@Jaredtheboi
Alternate original color scheme for her. Was too contrasty :P

So is this a shiny Kalianne or….

@Parallel Black  
That looks pretty good too. I think dulling the yellow belly would work quite a bit too. Like how I didn’t use the bright red belly that malaysian coral snakes have when I colored Kalianne :D

@Badumsquish  
Darn it. Gyazo is meant to be an easy way to share stuff like this. Hold on, let me try again…
 

 
Okay! There it is.

@Parallel Black  
The link work for me D:

@Badumsquish  
Just did a little edit after seeing your comment: https://gyazo.com/70decd6bee17dcbc4f0daa3e300db457
 
I like the grey of the hair a lot, and I took account of Kalianne’s normal blue colouring when altering her body.

@Background Pony #C61A  
Personally I don’t dislike it outside of it having too much contrast, but I think it’s unanimous that her blue coloring is better.
 
Still, I might try and reuse it for a different character.

I like this version better, honestly..

@Zebasiz  
I’m not that old :D
 
(I’m in my 30’s)

@Badumsquish  
You’re OLD?! =O

@TheBipedalVisitor  
@Blissey1  
I’m the gayest old time anyone could ever have :P

@TheBipedalVisitor  
no, he’s gay

@Badumsquish  
Wait, you’re a girl?!

@Badumsquish  
shuffles off to Wikipedia to knowledge himself…  
Thanks!! 😁

As far as I know Lamia was one specific female entity and nagas were like dieties or something that could be male or female.
 
‘Course, I don’t know too much about mythology. Usually I just ask my husband; he has this like out-of-nowhere borderline encyclopedic knowledge of it.
 
Not that it really matters either. I’ll basically do whatever I want with mythology or the show to begin with anyways.

@Badumsquish  
Mythologically, Lamia are always female and/or is a specific female figure, so yeah, if its male its more… historically? accurate to call it a naga. I can dig it.

@Keith Mowz  
To be totally honest, I 100% prefer the word “lamia” because I just think it sounds better than “Naga”, but I’m cool with either term. One comment pointed out once that (at least in one story) that lamias were the females and nagas were the males, and I actually really wish that was the case because that’s a cool idea I think.
 
@rainbowleader  
Heh, that’s pretty much the same I felt about it.
 
@Keith Mowz  
I might give it a try. I honestly do like darker color schemes and all. If anything, it gives me an excuse to make a second snakepone. Maybe one of Kalianne’s parents in a flashback or something just for kicks.

Maybe if the body was silver and the hair was black?

@Badumsquish  

 
I didn’t vote because on the one hand I like because lamia, but on the other hand, I don’t really like the color.

@Badumsquish  
To me, a lamia is anything that is lower half snake, upper half not-snake. Basically like a centaur but with snake instead of horse. Naga is just a semi-anthro snake, with the upper part being serpentine as well, and frequently with four arms (for example, these things I made up mostly for doing vore stuff with.)

I have to admit I’m genuinely surprised how many people seem to like this color scheme, or at least not mind it. I was honestly expecting this picture to get a negative score.
 
I’ll have to think about reusing it for a different character if I can fix it to be a bit less ugh.
 
@Jackalodeath  
I’ve always just used “lamia”, but I tag that and “naga” because a lot of people prefer that instead.
 
@rainbowleader  
Yep. Pretty much every OC I’ve made started out with a different color scheme (the exception being Mave). Cuddlhu was dark blue (she was supposed to look like she was made of denim, which didn’t work without the texture), Tremble was originally pink (which I ultimately reused on this one), the ghost was solid white which actually looked good until I added the transparency which made it a gross gray color so I added some blue, Coma was a dark brown with red wings, which I didn’t mind too much but I liked the light color scheme better, etc etc.

Gotta be honest; I kinda like this version too.

Wait, so this is what Kalianne looked like originally?

Huh I used to catch that species of garter snake in my backyard when I was a kid, turned out that their defense mechanism was to poop all over your hands.
