Thank you for your purchase of the official So You Think You Can Draw Valkrana VHS! This VHS will aid in your journey from zero to Valkrana by providing brief references and details regarding her most notable features.
Anatomy
Skeletal
Partly skeletal. The following image should give a crude idea of which parts of her are skeletal (in red). Where skeleton meets "meat" (see: Skin below) there is no gore, only skeleton protruding from a smooth surface.
Extra Arm
An extra (skeletal) arm has been grafted to her upper back at roughly the middle of her right scapula. This arm is sometimes taken from an adult, and as such, can be either the same size or a little larger and longer than her other arms.
Wounds
Three gnarly, open claw wounds rend her head, each secured with but a few staples.
Drool
Constantly drools a thin line of lightly-colored greenish-brown digestive fluid down her chin.
Mouth
Begone, suburban fences! Not simply VVVVV teeth, Valkrana's teeth are more like shark teeth with slight space between individual teeth. Also note that her mouth is wider than normal, and her lips are pale purple.
Hair
Oily black. Messy. Unkempt. Bedhead. Cowlicks. Stray hairs. She usually keeps it in a low braid, but can't keep it neat due to her wounds. When worn down, it reaches the middle of her back.
Eye
Iris color is a pale lavender, #CB94F2. The sclera (white) of her eye is black. Eye shape: Her upper eyelid is usually a flat line.
Ears
Pointed and elongated, like those of an elf. Length is variable.
Skin
Pale white. Marrow- and cartilage-stuff mimic meat but have a cold, too-smooth texture. She has no blood, so no flushing or bruising.
Frame
Short, thin, and underdeveloped. Valkrana died, and was subsequently reanimated, at the age of 10, as a mortally ill, malnourished urchin. Image below compares the average female height (5'4") with Valkrana's height (4'2").
Expressions
Valkrana's default, most common expression is deadpan. She will show childish fascination with rare magic or skeletons. She has a temper, and doesn't hide it when it flares. When interacting with or discussing her darling, she tends to be either lovey-dovey or yandere.
Poses
Valkrana is an extremely awkward child, and it shows in her carriage and mannerisms. She isn't typically a high-energy person. Has a habit of tucking her arms to her chest when talking to her darling.
Clothing & Accessories
Full-Body Clothing Reference
These are good clothing references. Nonetheless, I've added concise details and notes below the image. A change or two should be made, such as removing the third sleeve.

• Usually worn with the top quarter unbuttoned or unzipped.
• Third Arm:
◦ Emerges from a vent in the jacket's upper back.

Alternative Outfit (Shut-In)
Valkrana wears this orange t-shirt when lounging around her home. Hair is often left to hang free rather than in a braid. Also includes slippers.
Finished Works
Please bear in mind that this gallery features pieces that, while useful references in their own right, often deviate here and there from the correct Valkrana design as detailed above. However, Nuyums' illustrations in particular are especially accurate to her design and personality. Proceed to gallery.
