Okay, first off, I totally suck at these things. Seriously. I've never been good at explaining what my ideas are, so you're probably going to be asking a lot of questions. That's fine, because I realize my explanation skills are next to none. So feel free to ping any questions back to me. XD
Secondly, his toddler form his based of my flamingo chicks. Sadly, the pink awesomeness won't be arriving until later. D: So yes, I know his toddler form is kind of bland and...colorless, but I wanted to make it realistic. *Shot.* And I didn't give specifications for some of the stuff, because I couldn't think of anything and...yes. >>;
Name: Lewis
Gender: Male
Animal: Flamingo
Parent (An OC): Lena Quinlan
Hairstyle: Short, but not overly so, extending to the base of his neck at its longest point. Extremely curly, his hair almost resembles a small afro, though not anywhere as neat as an afro usually is.
Hair color: A dull grey color, thought noticeably darker than his skin color.
Skin color: Yet again grey, though not as dark as his hair, as it is more of a soft gray, much like the little fluffs of feathers seen upon flamingo chicks.
Clothing: I’m not sure. ;-; Feel free to put him into anything you want. Or even naked, if you wish. XD
Personality: Though he may look rather dull and boring as a toddler, Lewis‘s personality is far brighter. Inherently clumsy, poor Lewis is prone to accidentally knocking things over and causing previously sturdy products to randomly break in his hands. However, this is almost normal, as all toddlers will break stuff. Most likely important stuff. Besides this, he is friendly and open towards others, though gullible at times. He enjoys attention, but not so much that he will throw a fit when others are not paying attention to him. He takes it as it comes.
Markings: Nope. <3
Eye color: Once again (do I sense a pattern here?), there is something grey about Lewis. However, unlike his hair and skin, the grey color of his eyes is not because of his flamingo DNA, but rather something that just…happened. Also unlike his hair and skin, his eyes will most likely remain this color for this rest of his life. Darker than his skin, but lighter than his hair, his eye color is something of a middle ground between the two.
Eye style: …What looks best? I don’t know. *Dumb.* D:
Pose: No idea. Giving you artistic freedom on this one.
Extra: Since Lewis’s DNA is that of a bird, it is expected for him to have wings.
Not really any specifications for these, except that at this stage, they’ll be the same color as a his skin. Grey. WHOO. 8D
And here we get to something that could be a little difficult. I’m not even sure if you’ll be able to do it, so just tell me so and you can make him normal. But along mid-shin, Lewis’s legs begins to go from skin to the scales of a bird, finally ending in the unmistakable webbed feet of flamingos. These scales and feet are *gasp!* not grey, but a light pink color. Look to the pictures I have provided as a reference.
Basically, what it is, the extreme lower part of his legs will be like the legs of a flamingo, complete with the three-toed webbed feet of the flamingo. There shouldn’t really be any change in size. I know flamingo legs are REALLY skinny, but that would just look plain weird, so don’t worry about that. I couldn’t get the image of him balancing on one foot out of my mind. I’m sorry. ;-;
