Two things:

First of all, learning languages. Who knew it could be so much fun? And why the hell didn't I take one earlier? I mean, there's doing something for credit, and there's doing something because you enjoy it. If I knew this was going to fall into the latter category, I would've done it earlier :O

Second, Vampire Squid. I kid you not. I can't help but think the image looks more like a dragon than a squid, but maybe that's just me.

To quote the masses, OMGWTFBBQ.

Edit: Mentioned the Vampire Squid thing to Jeva. Had an interesting talk that ended with a challenge.

Long story short, I need a name and/or concept for a possibly squid-themed villain(ess?) for a magical girl parody. Oh, and Kalimari/variation thereon is taken. Icka, don't kill me.

Edit 2: Thoughts so far:
Villain(ess?) will be Cephalopod themed, as this includes octopi, squid, cuttlefish, and other such creatures. Octopi will play a major roll, since they are obviously the squid's natural rival.
Love interest will be a Masked Kiwi of some sort. He will probably have weapons/abilities based on plants and birds.
Still have some details to work out on the Magical Girl In Question. Thinking at the moment of calling her alter-ego 'Mari'. Have trouble? Call Mari!
Also, Icka? The 'me' has been extended to 'us'.

Edit 3: *scraps any idea she might have had of even pretending to disguise names/identities and enter RSoM with/sell somewhere/what-have-you and opens up to a free-for-all*

Edit 4: *also abandons the notion of keeping the comic under PG-13-equivalent*

Edit 5: Preliminary sketch of Maho Shoujo Ika (for lack of a better name). More than a few artistic liberties have been taken, as all I've had to work off of image-wise were the few remaining self-portraits Icka had up and one blurry photograph.

Hopefully you can read my handwriting, which explains the basics of suggested powers (to the right of Magical Girl Icka) and description of the costume (above, below, and to the left). To the right of the Squid Wand are directions for... finding it, I suppose. Also included are the three things (besides New Zelanders) that I remember Kiwis being from Girl Scout Camp way back when. Did an online search to double-check the fern, but I'm still a little doubtful about it.

Hopefully I'll be able to come up with a front-view sketch sometime in the future. As well as things like other characters, and the evil villain(ess)'s Vampiric Squid minions that drain energy from unsuspecting prey (possibly otaku?). Still working on things.

Also, this is far more than just two things now.

Edit 6: ( Transcription of notes for those who can't read 'em )

Icka?

Please to not be killing us.
