The final form came before the middle.
working backward gives me an upper bound and lower bound I could use for the middle stage.
I wanna lean into the Ouroborus connection by having her eat her tail in her middle stage while her final stage grows it back as a plasma cutter.
Gives her this level of danger and intimidation but given shape and eyes you get this feeling she's a huggable little thing...also yeah, she's only 5'6" in this form.
I hope all those time drawings to Subjectively kept the fierce and cute design philosophy Jack preached about. Got one more of these to go, hope you all like her.
