Description Preferred Weapons: Fists, baseball bat
Occupation: street fighter, art store associate
Status: Loyal to Irken Empire

Sanavava is a civilian of the Irken Empire, living in a large city safe from invasion, terrorist attacks, and high crime rates. It has forward-thinking architecture, advanced technology, and lots of high-collar inhabitants.

And she's bored out of her mind in it. As someone with an adventurous nature, she grew up exploring the city. She knew everything about it by age 19. Her father, the Enforcer (police) chief of the entire city's division, believes the city is still a lovely and perpetually interesting place, thank you very much, and why can't you just be happy living here? Why do you feel a need to go off-planet and galavant across the galaxy? Well it's not happening, young lady, because of your condition.

Ah yes, that darn medical condition. The one Sanavava has been blessed with in particular is difficult to diagnose...Some form of extreme asthma, the doctors think. Sana experiences nausea and dizzy spells seemingly at random. On bad days, she'll black out. On good days, she won't experience any ill effects at all.

Despite the condition, she took up boxing and street-scrapping, out of an innate teenage desire for action and rebelliousness against her overly-stern police chief of a father. Different medications and treatments have yielded no permanent fixes for her condition, which frustrates her to no end. If she could just handle it, she's positive her father would let her off-planet. In preparation for her eventual journey, whether that will be a planned trip, or an escape, she earns some extra money with a part time job at an eccentric art shop (and art in general is already eccentric to the irken race). At this store, she has an outlet for frustration and creativity, and it gives her a good balance from her other part-time (unofficial) occupation, underground boxing and betting.

Maybe some day she'll get off Irk and explore the galaxy...but in the meantime she can paint flaming skulls and birds wearing barbed wire.

Despite feeling stuck, she does like her city. She loves meeting new people, and overall has a good-natured, tomboyish attitude. She is just as comfortable with braggadocio rappers and DJs as she is with the nice old lady who runs the bakery down the street.

Likes: Meeting new people, competitions, smoothies, sports, fair players, boxing, new experiences, almond ice cream, sunny days, art.
Dislikes: Cheaters, old/boring people, living forever in one place, going to her Dad's boring meetings, taking medicine, doctor's offices, 'hoity-toity' people, rainy days.

I was just thinking about when the bio references would be added to or updated, and then boom, this and the two updates! What kind of psychic nonsense is this xD


Anyway, I love her new outfit! Cowls are always great, and I like how her belt and pockets (?) have orange highlights, it's a nice touch ;v;b

Hah, what coincidence vwv

And thank you! Yeah hoods are sort of hard to draw on those giant heads but they can look neat..decided to try it out with Sana here. Everybody likes some nice, angsty hoods.

She looks very nice and I cannot help but feel bad that she is trapped becuase of her medical allergy. Though she's certainly very cool and hopefully someday she will be able to explore the galaxy.

Ah, Sana's ref is so gorgeous! *0* And it's really nice to see how she's evolved as a character and learn more about her. Hopefully she'll achieve her dreams of exploration one day. ^^

Zerna In reply to Fairydust07 [2017-07-13 00:12:13 +0000 UTC]

eyy thank you Yeah she's definitely developed a lot from when I first made her, so many years ago...

someday!

Gvozdi [2017-07-10 23:02:29 +0000 UTC]

It is cool to see how much she has evolved from her original incarnation
And while I'm still very nostalgic of that Sana, mostly because of our old RPs, I will admit that ultimately her latest rendition is superior
Even the design grew on me as more appropriate

Also her eyes look really pretty in this :v

Also the shading on her head was a very nice touch
Kind of curious how you achieved such an effect actually

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Zerna In reply to Gvozdi [2017-07-18 07:34:14 +0000 UTC]

yeah lots of development. She ended up fitting a good-natured street brawler much better than the insomniac, angsty, shank-obsessed character I originally designed her as.

And eyyyy thanks.

All the shading was done with the help of the Lasso tool in photoshop. It takes longer than other methods, but it's a nice technique.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Gvozdi In reply to Zerna [2017-07-18 13:49:50 +0000 UTC]

I almost forgot she always had a shank in the original design, I remember that was something you kind of omitted pretty quickly

Ah, should have known
The lasso is pretty popular for that usage :v

Zerna In reply to Gvozdi [2017-07-18 20:49:46 +0000 UTC]

yeahhh it wasn't an idea that was sticking.

And for good reason; it's super handy.

Gvozdi In reply to Zerna [2017-07-20 19:30:31 +0000 UTC]

I think Strelok was the only character I made and wrote the same as they were originally intended
I occasionally change up their morals and opinions, but more as character development, than anything else

I always see art tutorials basically expressing love for it
The results it makes are always great when applied properly

Zerna In reply to Gvozdi [2017-07-20 22:31:33 +0000 UTC]

Aww~! Look at that. Sanavava finally has a proper ref sheet. It's been a long time coming but given the amazing artwork you post on a regular basis, one can see where the waiting came from. either way though, its nice to see this one up.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Zerna In reply to Jay-punk13 [2017-07-13 00:12:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeah took long enough xDD then again she has gone through some big changes, so.

thanks!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Jay-punk13 In reply to Zerna [2017-07-13 04:06:33 +0000 UTC]

I noticed that. The first image I remember of Sanavava had her screaming "shank!" and with a longer coat-like outfit so, yeah. She's gone through some changes but that's part of the fun of having a oc; playing around with them until you find the right personality and behavior quirks. I've had characters myself where I originally wanted them to act one way but than by the end of it all, their completely different but are better because more often than not they end up a fully multi leveled character. 

Sorry to ramble but, I just adore characters with lots of love and thought put into them.

You remember that?? XD dang that was a long time ago. I'm impressed.

True! It's great how characters change and adapt, almost on their own, really.

Jay-punk13 In reply to Zerna [2017-07-14 20:52:22 +0000 UTC]

Oh, yeah I remember that! I actually have a pretty good memory when it comes to things like that, no clue why. Oh! And just so you know, thanks to seeing so many of these biorefernces I've decided to make up some of my own now that my style has improved. I must thank you for that.

Pfft! I swear, sometimes I seriously think characters have a mind of their own. And I have so many of them its almost daunting. XD

and eyyy good job! Biorefs are super handy in general, so kudos on making them. Glad to be an inspiration for them!
THEY DO, THEY ABSOLUTELY FRIGGIN DO, I SWEAR.

Thanks! I've already gotten nine of them constructed so, things are going well! One of the benefits to being a traditional artist is that I can get images done quickly.
