Buckette Lavender. If you say her first name, prepare to eat Eldritch tentacles. In the FACE!

Miss Lavender here is my character for an upcoming (as in starting next week) D&D campaign being run by , set on the plane that his epic level psion, Buck Lavender, created at the end of our 30-something level game we played on Tuesdays last summer for shits and giggles. Buck had, during the course of the short campaign, impregnated 5-odd ice mephits (maids, no less)out of like 7 we rescued, and Miss Lavender here is the result of one of these pregnancies.

She's Buck's first daughter, and as such, he named her after himself, calling her Buckette (or Bucket, to her siblings). She hates her name and always has, and demands to be referred to as Miss Lavender.

Buckette is a water mephling warlock with a propensity toward her aberrant bloodline (Buck was an Elan), and a disturbing fascination with Illithids. It was only natural, then, that she became a worshipper of the Illithids' god, Ilsensine (a giant brain that lives underneath the Outlands), and her warlockery manifested in tentacle and aberration-type themes. It also was only natural that when Buck kicked his kids out of the castle he ruled from when they were old enough to adventure, she decided to conquer them and use them to exact her revenge on Buck (whose greatest fear are Illithids, rightly so being a psion and all).

Nobody does that to her. NOBODY. Needless to say, her sense of self-importance is inflated to colossal size. Also, she's neutral evil, so there you go.

She's the typical spoiled princess, who is completely sure that she is better than EVERYONE, and refuses to take shit from ANYONE. Unlike most girls with that attitude, she can back up a lot of it with her eldritch blasts.

Buckette stands only about 3' tall, and has a somewhat flat chest. These too are points of annoyance for her, and among her other goals, she at least is determined to enlarge herself, as nobody can take a conquerer seriously when they're shorter than most bar stools. If you look close there you can see her gills on the side of her neck (though she can't breathe water). Her eyes are white with green in the center, but no pupils, hence the odd outline on her iris. I wanted to make them solid white, but couldn't get it to look right. She has the aberrant feat that gives her inhuman eyes, as well as the feat that gives her flexible limbs (e-z-flo elbow!). Her skin, unlike most water mephlings, is more mollusk like, more soft and tough instead of hard and scaly. Again, more aberrant looking.

The tentacles, however, she technically won't have for two more levels yet. As then she'll be taking the feat Deepspawn. But I figured it would look cool to draw them now. Eventually she'll also go for Starspawn for wings, and become very Cthulhu-like.

I loved designing her. She was tough to come up with a look for, being the impertinent little brat she is. Basically, I thought to myself, "curls" and tentacles for her hair, and went on to dress her somewhere between a princess and an Illithid, and I really like how it turned out. She looks badass.

I tried a new linework and colouring technique this time, working large against the trace (as I did the original lines on paper in pencil) and colouring large against the trace, then doing details with the trace against the colour, then removing the trace, shrinking it to the proper size, then doing the shading and highlighting and other assorted doodads. I really liked how it came out, despite how long it took. It definitely helped up the quality. ^^

Amusing fact: When I showed the original linework to he felt bad because he thought she looked hot, what with him having played her father and all. LOL
