Leela of House Turanga

Description

Five years ago (my God - has it been five years?) I sat down with a friend at work, the late Bobby Whittlow, and laid the groundwork for an alternate Turanga Leela who was an alien rather than a sewer mutant. Five years and at least six stories later, I wrote what I swore would be my last alternate Leela story, "Leela and the Hata Stone" www.futurama-madhouse.net/foru…  I wanted to do a really good picture of the head of Family Turanga, complete with her sharan spear and ceremonial dagger. My wife Nancy helped with the outfit, which I described to her as a simple jumper with "deerskin" boots (assuming they have some sort of deer on that planet of hers). On her left shoulder we see her family crest, and the five colors used to symbolize her family. On the right side of the page we see Leela's name in the language of her cyclops people. Her family was one of the most influential on her world until they were all wiped out in a clan war. Leela alone is left to represent her house, and can only spend a few months at a time trying to keep the old homestead running. Leela's hair is down, and she's tougher and more mature than we see on the show. She's married to Fry, and they have two children -  Phil Jr. and Sara. This Leela's life is literally torn between two worlds.

Here's an earlier picture of my OC as a baby House Turanga

I think that kiff57krocker has said pretty much everything that I'd thought of, except that I did get the "Inner Sphere" great houses from Battletech 3025 in there too (If that means nothing to you, just ignore it).
