Description I'm back with new artwork, baby!..
Here's a character recently made up. Her name is Burrah and she's a creature called a "Catellope: half human, half caterpillar, and half worm." She has 4 arms and legs with black tips, on hands and feet, that help her to crawl and climb on things from trees, walls, and other flat objects.

Burrah lives to protect the forest from anyone that threatens to destroy her precious home. Using her satchel of magic stones she calls seeds to either battle enemies or do magic healing for plant life or other animals. She is a soft, kind catellope who is also cunning and fast when in battle.

Her "possible" origin story is that when she was little, a dangerous army called The Black Skulls came to destroy the forests cities and burn the trees with any life form in it. Burrah's family had their place go in flames and her father was out in battle doing what he could to protect his family and defeat the Black Skull soldiers. In the end, her mother managed to get her far off into the deepness of the forest and was then caught under some burning trees and lied there as she said her goodbye to Burrah as she died within the flames... After the battle ended, hours later, an old "human" man was out walking when he noticed the burned wood and trees that stood in his path. Then, he heard a crying within one of the holes of the trees and in one he found little Burrah crying for what had happened to her family. The old man turned to leave. But, little Burrah got a hold on him wanting someone to hold for the loss of her family. After seeing the sadness in this little creature's eyes, the old man decided to take her in and her trained to use magic. After years of training and living under the old man's roof, Burrah learned how to create her magia seeds and from that point on would use them to help others and fight for what she think is right.

Please, let me explain. Burrah is someone I thought for a fantasy character. Her costume was suppose to represent that of a character from a fantasy story and her ability to use magia stones are actually just that she created through magic and she lives in a fantasy world "name not determined." I know that she looks like a super hero. But, that was never really the thought I had in mind.

Hope you understand.

Sounds good, it's more like literature not just somegreatsupernaturalactionhero. Are you going to illustrate some whole story behind that?

Possibly. I had some fairy tale/fantasy story ideas I had thought up. Maybe I'll illustrate the story idea into art when I can. Maybe Burrah could be included as a part of the story's cast.
