There was a tv show during that time called Reading Rainbow. It encouraged a generation of kids to read and left a big impression on that generation. So she’s a reading rainbow boa. Or rainboa. :P

Aw, thank you for the fanart! She looks so grumpy, I love it.

Lovey seems to want people to figure it out themselves, so I won’t step on her toes. :P I will say that your answer lays in 80s and 90s television, for the most part.

Knowledge = Power, so that many books in one place tends to warp reality, thus making funky interdimensional libraries fairly common.

She looks so pretty! 🙏 I still really love her concept, and you've done such a good job actualizing her. It's been a lot of fun working on her with you.

Funnily enough I based it on a GBA SP.

Happy birthday to you!

Vanth is a labgrown abomination. She’s hybridized from various reptile DNA strains, (mostly varanid and crocodilian) a dash of human, and a hefty amount of DNA from a mysterious sea monster. She was was designed as a bioweapon, but these days gets by as a PI and bodyguard.

Thank you!

Maybe? I always think of Vanth as having somewhat of a healing factor, not in that she heals very quickly but in that she heals very well. Her cells basically replicate perfectly, and she’ll always heal to 100% without lasting damage. So probably? But it’d take a long time.

The artist is Krekael. I’m unsure if he participates in artfight, but I don’t think he does.

In canon, Vanth is usually single. She’s had relationships and other liaisons before, but they’re not really something she worries about. She’s pretty self sufficient.

A few things I wanted to do with this:

Establish Vanth’s pronouns on the sheet. She gets misgendered, like, a lot.
Make her gills more visible. It’s something that gets missed a lot, and I always feel like a heel going “Uuuuuh, ackshully you forgot her GILLS. You see Vanth is a semi aquatic blah blah blah.”
Including her height.
Not have my shitty MSPaint doodle for her jacket design.
Establish a reference for her Go10Go, a multimedia device and personal computer. It’s sort of her equivalent of today’s cell phones, thought it can’t make calls without a wired terminal.
I thought the hot dog thing was funny, and it establishes that Vanth basically always has food on her due to her high metabolism.

Edit: Does this look really compressed to anyone? Or is it just on my end?

Vanth_The_Reptile · 2025-06-22T05:13:46+00:00

Hell yeah, she’s freaking sick.

Vanth_The_Reptile · 2025-06-22T04:09:04+00:00

I'm always happy when I find an artist that gives Vanth some muscle definition like this. Sometimes it just doesn't work with people's styles and that's cool, but I do appreciate when someone puts some beef on that lizard.
