My old monitor didn’t let me see the hair was translucent and the tail was reddish. CLICK THE SOURCE FOR A BETTER PICTURE!

Okay, I changed it from “Tenebra” to “Tenebris”, which is Latin, and I’m now working on a full-body version of her.

I updated the dA image to make her hair longer. It’s not supposed to be too much longer than King Sombra’s, but I think it works well enough.

Eh, I dunno. I did think that, but sombra is not just a variation of somber. I picked Queen Dismal at first because dismal and somber are synonyms, but Sombra is a Spanish word meaning shadow. I wanted to pick something similar to that, and since tenebra is A) not English and B) means darkness(which is similar to shadow), I chose that. Disma is just a variation of dismal, so it doesn’t quite work the same.

I’ve thought of a potential name for her. How does “Queen Tenebra” sound? Tenebra is Italian for “darkness,” and it’s the plural form of the Latin “tenebrae,” which also means darkness. I tried finding a good word in spanish like sombra, but I couldn’t really find one that didn’t sound weird. The best one was “oscura,” which means “dark,” but “Queen Oscura” is really weird to me.

V And she’s thinner, and her head has a different shape.  
Also, now that we know his name is King Sombra and not King Somber, I have to think of a new name for the Queen. God dammit…

Holy crap, so much love. Thank you all so much! Yeah, I thought he looked pretty bad at first, but he’s grown on me. I’d like some feedback on stuff too, like how I did on the genderbending, the name, etc. I think it’d be pretty cool if Queen Dismal became the widely accepted name, but if not, oh well. Thanks again for all the comments! :D

I dunno, after seeing the intro, I’m actually kinda warming up to King Somber. He looks like he’ll be actually kinda menacing.
