WAHHH the shark park is so cool!! I loved the half and half character design, havent seen a cat/fish idea before. Id love to know more about her, especially since shes got such an interesting design + color palette as well! ugh and the jewelry...it does her so very well and gives off such regal vibe!!
Thank you! She was actualy the first design that I dared to go asymmetrical on. I think it really worked for this particular design. I need to write more of the character's backstories and information in the toyhou.se descriptions but I am silly and think "no I know what it is"
In summary, Bastet and Artemis were captured as young catsharks (somewhere in or along Africa but not south Africa because the shark eating orcas live there) due toe Bastet's struggle to survive (physical deformities) and Artemis' strange colouration. The two were subjects of interest for scientists and were studied like regular creatures. Their early exposure to humans gave them a greater comprehension of human concepts and other things they wouldn't normally come across in the ocean. Bastet helps young Artemis stage an escape from the facility (since she's more physically capable), but stays behind herself (she knows she'd hold her sister back). Bastet is only freed once she has proven herself sentient (of human intelligence) to live 'regularly' among people. Artemis doesn't know this and believes she is still captured, and hopes to set her free too/see her again. While these characters are still motivated by their emotions and desires, they tend to be more calculated about it to minimize risk. (Can't meet your sibling after all if you're not around)
Thank you for your comments and interests in my little guys <3
Ngl, first thing that came to mind was cow-catshark lol.
But in all seriousness, she's a beauty! Looks so elegant and serene. And kinda giving Chibese vibes—mostly from the 'hairstyle'
Akso, she based off Espeon as well? Cool! Does that mean she has any powers?
The piebald cats low-key high-key are just cow cats. I own one and I love his so much. I saw a photo of a piebald nurse shark and it looked like cookies and cream ice cream <3
I'm glad you think so! I tried to base her jewelry and accessories on those made by ancient Greek people, but I also wanted her to compliment her sister design bastet. For the facial fins I've been fighting for my life to give them all different/unique shapes for varied character silhouettes. I'm glad that it was able to convey that factor :)
She doesn't have any powers per say but both her and her sister and rather intelligent (above average for their species)
