Kemromen the lizard by Marwan

Kemromen the lizard

Marwan

Kemromen is yet another old OC of mine. I've created him ever since I was still a school student and pretty much innocent and gullible on that time. He was my original fursona -- or "scalesona", if you prefer -- long before I even heard of the furry fandom or even the very concept of an animal persona. So he pretty much predates Marwan. Well, today, he's still a fursona of mine, though not my main fursona -- that would be Marwan.

The name "Kemromen" came to be back when I was a kid, and I played with the other kids hoping that we'd play a pretend reality TV show. I told them I'd be a "cameraman", following their moves and such. Little did I know is that they're also bullies, and since they don't know English, they thought I said my name is "Kemromen". Even after I kept insisting that's not my name and my real name is really "Marwan", these kids would still make fun of me by constantly calling me "Kemromen" over and over again. x_x;;

Well, Kemromen originally didn't have a name back then. But when I recently brought this old character back, and since he was technically my original fursona before Marwan came about, I decided, hey, why not I call him Kemromen? So yeah, you can thank the bullies for this name, and now that I'm older and wiser, I decided to embrace it rather than letting it be a mark of shame.

Kemromen has undergone a major character design overhaul when I decided to bring him back again. I've worked hard to make Kemromen fit with my current "anime" cartooning style. He was originally supposed to be an anthropomorphic snake -- a python, to be exact. With legs. (Yeah, as strange as that sounds. ^_^;;) Several redesigns later, I decided to retcon his species, so now he's a lizard. His tail used to be much longer and thicker; in fact, ridiculously very long, like over three times as long as he is tall. O_o;; In his present form, I've significantly shrunk his tail to a reasonable length of 1 1/2 times as long as he is tall. Sure, Marwan's tail is proportionally longer, but considering that Kemromen is also my tallest OC, towering everyone else, Kemromen actually has the longest tail of all my OCs.

Here's a recent sketch which reflects his older design, for comparison: http://sta.sh/01tzdwuecgc4

    I like this redesign, and he definitely seems more like a lizard than a snake, since you know, snakes don't really have arms and legs. Though I guess skinks do, but their limbs are short and stubby.

      Thanks. =3 Well, yeah, of course snakes don't have arms and legs. To me, they look better without them -- even the most popular form, the naga form (especially the naga form >_<) looks out of place for me. x_x;; Retconning Kemromen's species into a lizard makes sense, considering that he already looks more like a lizard with those arms and legs.

      Plus, his tail in this redesign is exactly where it should be: as part of his spine, which makes his tail flow better with the rest of his body.
