Third Eye Chakra

A spiritual, elegant Latina, Third Eye Chakra represents a chimpanzee and the color indigo. She was the last character I made a draft of from the Seven Chakras. At the time, I didn't have much of anything to mold her with, and I decided to work on Crown Chakra first.

Truth be told, it was a challenge trying to figure out how to incorporate hints to chimpanzees to her design besides the ears. This kind of kemonomimi was pretty uncommon to me. I would have added a tail, but I learned chimpanzees didn't have them either.

Reina told me that she wanted to see her "convey intuition and listening to the universe". The first thing I couldn't help thinking of was a fortune teller or a psychic, and I usually associated them with robes. As a nod to her Latina heritage, I drew her in a Spanish dress with ballet shoes and gave her an earnest countenance.

This unfortunately made her strike me as being too overly serious compared to the rest of the cast. I showed the draft to the community and told them that I would be changing the outfit to make her appear more relaxed. But Reina told me if serious is how she's gonna be, then this is how she's going to be, so I kept the design as it is.

Looking at her final design, I'm glad I nailed her colors, but I also can't help viewing her as a crow rather than a chimpanzee. The frills of her dress appear feathery and she uses a similar color I give to the crow from my gator comics. 😅
