About this image
Since the permissions for the Viconia mod seems to allow it I used the portraits as a base to create this edited version that I felt would suit an npc I'm working on (though I did message the author just to let them know in case they change their minds and want me to not share it).
Looking for any opinions to see what everyone would prefer since I plan to share it when it's eventually done.
1. Which design/color out of these would you prefer?
2. Want her to be a Demon, Alien, or something else entirely? Right now what I'm trying to do since I'm a bit indecisive is get a draft for if I make her a demon that's been sealed away and another draft where she's an alien coming from another planet and then decide. On the alien side which I'm doing first the draft has been made for the Intro, Heart Events 2/4/6/8, and some daily dialogue.
3. Should she have a tail?
4. Would you prefer fins instead if I make her an alien (she's part of a semi aquatic species inspired from Starbound's Hylotl if an alien).
5. Name? Currently thinking of Hasla for some reason, but you guys might have a better one.

Stardew has some neat Alien stuff in it's secrets so you could have fun with that if you choose for Hasla to be an Alien
Her being an alien definitely does open a lot of doors. I think I will stick with the alien idea.
It sounds like you've done the most work so far and are most inspired for the alien version, so if that's the case, I'd recommend sticking with that version. Don't feel nervous about going with your gut and making what you want to make :) A niche but well-made mod that you can tell the author has put care into will attract a lot more people than a mod that was made to appeal to too many people and has no heart
I think I will stick with the Alien idea and see how far I will take it then.
Since sharing this I have finished the draft for the 10th heart event, made some more daily dialogue, improved the saturation levels since my edit looked a bit washed out compared to the rest of the sdv art, and sloped the 3rd column's eyes to make it look a bit less rectangular on the top.

So I think the alien idea is what I'm most interested in right now ;)
Maybe I'll be up for doing a demon, tiefling, or something like that at some point in the future afterwards.
Or maybe I'll introduce other alien species that this npc mentions are also visiting this planet and hidden away in a couple other maps like in the desert.
