If I could change one thing about Danimarion's pics... I would just make them bigger. <3
Also, this pic comes with a question: half-snakes/half-women, what do we call them, "nagas" or "lamias"? I originally used "naga", but now I think that would be better suited for monsters that are more snake than human. What do you guys think?

I think most people would probably search "naga," so I'd go with that.

Come to think of it, I've seen "naga" used for both half-women/half-snakes and half-men/half-snakes, but I've only seen "lamia" used for half-women/half-snakes. So, "naga" would probably save us trouble. We'll go with that.

I think they should be named lamias, but, it's the Mods decision, not mine.

I just realized that the blue-haired girl's leg is all kinds of messed-up. Oh well, I still like this pic.

in my guide of monsters Naga's are the male snakemen while Lamia's are the female counter part.

"The short answer is that a lamia is from the Greek mythology while a naga is from the Hindu mythology.
There are deeper differences however. E.g. the Naga are often described as shapechangers while Lamia are part human, part snake."

So, in short, either-or works. I'd say just throw up an alias, and then let people tag whichever.

Also, the nipples kind of appear to be mismade as well. Not that the artist is that great at nipples in general, but eh.

It just seems to me that the areola is double-layered. Kind of like there is an areola outside of the area it is supposed to be in, because of the pink colouring reaching a bit further than the lineart suggests.
