Hello everyone,
I'm a quiet lurker, but I thought it was time to meet some like-minded folks :>
My name is Moxie, and I'm a Sea Monster :D You can also address me as ShyKaiju/Shy, though I prefer Moxie IRL.
I've always been a fish, spending my hot summer days in pools and lakes. Water has always been my happy place, and it just melts whatever stress I have. The dolphin kick was a natural gait for me, while my head swam in imaginary scenarios of tails and things. I draw a lot of my inspiration more from reptiles than fish. Alligators, Turtles, marine reptiles, aquatic ancients (Cthulhu) and kaijus like Godzilla, Pacific Rim esc. I don't quite remember where I found out about mermaid tails, but I've been hooked every since. My mer-sona/Sea monstersona? design is inspired by red belly piranhas, bettas and godzilla. ...Oh my, I'll have to post an image when i'm done totally fleshing it out :>
On Dry land, I'm a Special Effect Artist/Creature Fabricator, and my obsession with swim-able tails was pushed even further when the studio I worked for had to make one for a indie film. It didn't have to be swim-able, but I took a lot of pointers from this forum. I don't have any photos of it sadly, NDA and all.
I, however, want to start making custom tails!
I'm currently in the process of laying scales for my personal molds, and I get so stoked about being able to fulfill a fantasy of mine. I'm a fat and nerdy girl, shy at first but I'm pretty strongly opinionated on social issues/personal values. I'm non-religious, but I keep a very open mind and love seeing people happy with their faith! I am very animal centric, owning two pitbulls and two Axolotls. My boyfriend and I want to open up a reptile rescue in the future! I'm a born and raised Texan living in the DFW area.
I'm super excited to come out of hiding and I really hope to make some lovely friends :>
WELP I think that's enough about me~ :D
