SO I went to see Ruby Gillman last night, and I actually kinda liked it! at least for the beginning portion. I felt Ruby's design was good, but I feel like it could be better so I tried my hand at drawing my own interpretation of her design!
the reason I gave her a normal skin tone rather than keeping the blue was because if Kracken are capable of having all those powers, who's to say that they couldn't have the ability to change their skin color? octopus are able to change the color of their skin to blend in with their surroundings and escape predators, so It wouldn't be a far fetched idea for them to be able to change color
on top of that- I thought about giving her normal hair, but It wouldn't make as much sense for a squid creature to have hair. I wanted to keep in tune with the idea that they aren't really changing much when they're on land, so ruby just wears the tentacles on her head like regular hair
