It IS cute. Though I can understand the reasoning behind the tail being... I'll say "obscured." Tail or no tail, she's a wonderful microcosm of the game's story, and I love her all the same.
...It's there, dammit! Just... lowered. Beneath her dress.
I really don't want to have to throw any gif I make into another program just to have it work. Luckily I rarely make gifs anyway, so, whatever. Not the end of the world. Just a weird limitation on this site. I don't really get it.
Nope.
Nah, she's just stalking some poor schmuck.
Unlike past characters, rather than be a short sighted twit, I wanted to make an effort to learn at least a little bit of Laina before I did that illustration. I enjoyed it, and might go back and try to re-teach myself some of my other characters I still have trouble with.
Laina is a newcomer to my Starborne setting, but is herself NOT a Starborne. I'll be posting more about her in the near future, lotta sketches.
Oh, an as of yet unreleased fanfic, to my knowledge.
