About This:

* Getting better.... she's not quite "there" yet, but getting closer.
I still feel she's not plump enough. She needs wider hips. But, significantly better than the first try.
Proportios still aren't right either....
I'm starting to feel/notice her more as a colossus. Now, my vision is making more sense of her, and some  Art deco + Art Nouveau.

* Rough sketch of my Diva Nixie. This is the singing Nixie or Siren.
The main concept I have for her will involve a musical number in which she rises out of the water, like Ether Williams, but she will be singing.
I want her to be more still and in place compared to the other concepts I have, but she will definitely be doing things, like perhaps magical hand gestures. I have several in mind.
I would like her to have a vocal sound similar to Alison Moyet (Yaz/Yazoo) whom has a deep voice.
Some of her look is semi inspired by Sarah Brightman, and Cher. But, I want it to have a flavor similar to Apsara and Nagasita's work, as well as Ambrosia Tribal Glam.
And, I want it to also have some rave culture elements, which I am not telling, because I don't want to give anyone ideas before I even do it. Altho' I am also inspired by Macross Plus, this will be uniquely my own work, despite some bits of inspiration sewn together.

I will have her tail fins fan out behind, and beside her, creating interesting flare of visuals. Since this has quite a bit of detailing to it, I still kept it down to a minimum, but this will make animating it more layered and difficult.

I have quite a few ideas to play with this, design and development, but I think it will go well. Some may be modern, others classic Golden Age of Hollywood, others more ancient Chinese, or Greek/Mediterranean. I just went to the Harvard Museum in Cambridge yesterday, and saw all kinds of things to stimulate the mind, and dreams.

I do not want any part of this work to have any couples romance styles of themes. So, I want the subject matter to be deep and meaningful, inspiring, soulful, enigmatic, or perhaps a little EMO.
