Kylie of Culloch - Part 1 The first time I saw her, she was in the back corner of a dark and dingy inn, sitting by herself behind a small round wooden table. She was pretty, a slender little thing with long orange hair tied back in a ponytail, but she seemed strangely tall for the table as she sat hunched over, staring into a full mug of beer whose head had long-since flattened.

The place stank, and I wondered what a girl like her was doing in a place like this. I would have thought her nobility but for the ragged green tunic she wore; her face was gentle and round, and those green eyes were rare among commoners.

I really, seriously have no explanation for this. It's an unnamed cecaelia girl (half octopus) climbing... something, and looking really startled. I drew her tonight in about four hours, and I'm not really sure what the intent was. I think it was more an exploration of how to draw cecaelia tentacles in an unusual position than it was anything else.

My wife thinks she was exploring a large boat anchor when the ship suddenly started to pull it in. That's as good a guess as any, I guess

Have you ever read "The New Dinosaurs" by Dougal Dixon? It's a book (highly dated now) that looked at how life on earth might have evolved if large, non-avian dinosaurs didn't go extinct. Admittedly much of it involves Mesozoic lineages convergently evolving forms like modern species, eg. the Lank, a long-necked, flightless, herbivorous pterosaur that looks like a giraffe.

My point? One of the species entries was the Coconut Grab, an amphibious ammonite based on modern coconut crabs. Both live in tropical waters and periodically climb palm trees along the shoreline to tear open coconuts. THIS is the first thing that came to mind when I saw this, an octomaid climbing a palm tree for coconuts XD
