Ala is a supporting female alien character in my original Sci-Fi Romance story: Everything Under the Stars

So... shit... the scanner totally killed this drawing. Believe it or not, I colored her skin a very very pale whitish blue that refused to pick up on either one of my scanners. It still turned out good I think despite this annoying issue...

I am... extremely impressed with how this came out. From the pose.. to the lighting. I actually have some trouble drawing her face sometimes but it all worked out perfectly and she was my quickest one to get done even though I only started her sketch like.. two days ago. D:

This is pure eye candy! XD

Ala: ( Pronounced: Ah Lah (Like Nala from the Lion King but without the N )
Species Population on Station: Only one.
Age: 27 in Human years
Occupation: Bartender, waitress, overall club caretaker
Family: Muora (mate) Blood family on her homeworld.
Current address: Second Disc, Entertainment District, with Muora in his personal clubs.
Hobbies: Collecting rare and unique trinkets from other species, Music, dancing
Theme Song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvE7w3…

Bio:
    Ala is a free spirited, fun, and down to 'earth' person.
    She has the ability to sense other people's emotions and can read their aura which gives her an understanding of their personality and feelings. This makes her remarkably good at seeing people for who they really are and allows her to be more weary of people who are up to no good, or who are actually very sweet and friendly on the inside, despite their piggish behaviors (Veeno).
    She also enjoys listening to people's stories and problems which makes her a great bartender and person to go to for advice. She's a little sassy and knows how to take care of herself as long as it doesn't get physical, since she is a delicate and frail species, built more for visual attractiveness than physical strength.
      She is a slave who belongs to Muora, but like Heather, she is not treated as a slave or considered to be one by him, only through contract... which unfortunately, cannot be broken. Instead, she is Muora's mate and lover and shows her affection towards him whenever she is around him. She loves him just as much as he loves her.


    Random Facts:
    Veeno has an attraction to her, like all pretty females at the clubs, and has tried a considerable amount of times to woo her with no success, unaware that all that time she belonged to Muora. Ala simply considers Veeno a silly friend and has no attraction to him whatsoever.
    It is extremely rare to see one of Ala's species outside their space and homeworld. In fact, it is considered treason for her species to leave their homeworld.
    Ala's species are aquatic in nature and being off the homeworld, her skin can get overly dry and crack. Muora imports expensive special hydrating lotions he personally applies to her skin every evening before bed.
    Along with Veeno, Ala acts as a friend and guardian angel for Heather, always keeping a watchful eye on her.
    Her skin reflects light as a rainbow of colors that is similar to an Opal.
    Her rarity and beauty are a prime target for all kinds of scum but no one messes with Ala in fear of Muora's wrath. Those that don't know of Muora will shortly find out upon messing with her.
    I created Ala for H-Falcon and give him majority say in how she is portrayed in the story.

    Notes: If there is anything I forgot to mention or something you would like to know, just let me know and I'll see about adding it unless it is plot relevant for future chapters. Species names are still being decided so... uh.. yeah.. OTL

    He he I love the description of Muora massaging lotion every night" lol What a big adorable softy. I would totally love to see a spin off story of how Ala and Muora meet. It must be sweet and the whole treason thing makes room for drama

    Oh right picture! I love how it came out. I think my favorite thing about it is her dorsal fin. Its so delicate and translucent.

    She is so beautiful! I really like her. If she was a playable race in a game, I would ALWAYS chose her, no matter the abilities. Kinda like my Argonians.
    Man, I should re-do my fan art of her. My pic totally does not do her justice. ;_;
    So, as an aquatic race, how does she breathe underwater? Like, she can hold it for hours, or absorb through her skin, or some kind of gill organ we can't see? Or does her race not really encounter being fully submurged? Just currious.
    Man, Muora's a lucky guy. A perfect match really IMO. I really love your characters.

    Next is Tes, yes? Can't wait! If she's blond, I'm laughing my ass off just to let you know. JUST saying.

    Aww, lol, thank you so much, Murra!

    You're a goof, you did that pic of her before you even knew what she looked like so I think for what you thought, it was pretty darn good! XD

    For the aquatic thing, Falcon and I haven't gone too into it yet so I'd rather wait to go into detail until we get everything organized. But what Falcon said was correct in that even if she is aquatic, that doesn't necessarily mean that her people live underwater. Maybe they never did or only did in their species' past but evolved later on to live on land but still have their aquatic characteristics. Since I created Ala for Falcon, it will be up to him what her final details will be.

    Heh heh, I'm glad you like the characters so much. It's a joy to know others like them as much as Falcon and myself. n_n

    And yup, Tes is next. Today actually. I wanted to reply to your comment before I posted her since you mentioned the blond thing! Heh heh heh I'm curious why you'd be highly amused if she is blond? XD

    Just because her people are/were Aquatic doesn't mean she needs to/breathes water. But I'm not going to get too much into that right now. Perhaps it might come up at some point...

    I am wondering how people will feel about Muora and Ala when they see a picture of them together. I don't think people realise the... differences. Heh. We shall see I guess. In time...

    MurraMyrrh In reply to H-Falcon [2011-04-17 17:45:44 +0000 UTC]

    I guess that is true. I just overthink stuff is all.

    In my mind, I think they look really sweet together. It's hard to explain, but I think they are perfect together. Like Peanutbutter and Pancakes. You don't THINK they go together, but they really do. I personally cannot wait for a couple picture of them.

    H-Falcon In reply to MurraMyrrh [2011-04-17 20:44:26 +0000 UTC]

    lol.. Breathes water? Somehow I forgot to put a "IN" in there... now it just looks silly...

    But yeah, I am waiting to see what people will say when they see a couple picture. I just don't think they have a good idea of Muora's size and the differences. Even though it is explained in the story... I can't blame people completely because they haven't seen much of Muora to really get an idea.

    We shall see...

    what I appreciate most about this character is that she looks the most 'alien' and also, doesn't need to have mammaries to prove her gender. I also dig that permanent sorta-smile expression she has.

    ...really, I will say.. We gotta love Ala

    I really like the way she is portrayed. With the centre lights, neck position and Perasma song, Ala actually can gain a strange, vigorous and strong perfomance sense for such delicate being, like she could be narrating a story passed long, long ago.


    I loved this one..

    Extremely impressed does not cut it. How the friggen heck did you managed to get the fabric to look so etherial?! I mean showing diaphanous clothing is extremely difficult, but the folds and creases still show - it's amazing. I'm still struggling to find words for Ala. I don't think a human dictionary would cover it adequetly.

    Nope.

    I am surprised some people haven't said something... asked something... or taken notice... you know her clothing right? How it looks so beautiful in itself? Well... it is transparent right? Heh...

    Lostkavi In reply to H-Falcon [2011-04-18 15:01:04 +0000 UTC]

    Lol. I took noticed. I just atributed it to either of a combination of cultural preference or her 'slave' status. At any rate, diaphanous garments were rather popular in the upper classes from anchient greece clear up to the middle ages, so it's not too bizzare. I frankly didn't bat an eyelid at finding it on an alien space station. After all, Neelix himself said the clothing fad was somewhat select in galactic culture.

    I don't know what else to say without being blatantly obvious. But I wanted you to find out without me stating it. All I can say at this point is look at her clothing... look at the things I said... see that I used a icon which should imply something... and.. yeah...

    I really don't know what else to say if you don't figure this out...

    Highly amusing: I was thinking to myself her skin looked like an opal and there you have it in the paragraph! I love the way the light shines through her "veil".

    You were writing, "people who are up to no good, or who are actually very sweet and friendly on the inside, despite their piggish behaviors (Veeno)" and just before I read his name, I was nodding and saying, "Veeno!!"

    This is so pretty!

    Once again, you have blown me away! Definite fave. I love how she shimmers with the rainbow colors on her pale skin. I really feel like I could outstretch my hand and brush her skin with my fingers and I'd expect to feel her. That's quite impressive.

    In my mind, I always pronounced her name as ("A"-"Lah") instead of ("Ah"-"Lah") so I'm happy you put in the pronunciation.

    What is that trinket on her upper arm? Is that because she is a slave? Or is that just some type of fashion trinket?

    I'd love for you to tell us more about her backstory like how she got captured and sold to Mouro.

    And this may seem weird, but for some reason, I've always imagined her to have a defined chest with breasts instead of having a chest where the breasts are not so prominent as there would be in a human.

    Again you already know how I feel about this. But I'm going to say here how awesome this is. How frigging fantastic this whole picture looks. How the colors and the shading and the lighting is just so damn awesome.


    That is not even mentioning how awesome Ala looks!

    She looks so Exotic and Beautiful. Her colors, her skin, just so awesome. Her outfit design and the color of it and the way the transparencies are is just so wonderful. Her Beautiful eyes and the smooth lines, and just so much more. This whole picture to me is just pure win. Pure fucking win. Pure Awesomeness!
    (I did say this was Awesome right? )

    I could go on and on... I love this picture. But I'll stop and let others comment on it's Magnificence and beauty.
