    Those feet-hands are unlikely: All of the weight is on the thumb and fingertips and they don't look that strong. Kathandra(?)'s hand-feet in Aeon Flux were more realistic as I recall.

    @rek: And why add a tail that doesn't obviously serve a purpose? She's upright so she doesn't need help balancing.

    @rek:
    Sithandra in the live-action movie, Scafandra in "A Last Time for Everything" from the full-length episodes. Neither version had extra knees, but I think the animated version might have been fully double-jointed.

    there are two Fundamental Principles in VFX:

    1 ) if it looks right it is right.

    2 ) you can have only two (2) of the following:

    - fast

    - cheap

    - good


    currently we're doing cheap and good, although all things considered we're working pretty fast.

    Wow, that sort of thing creates monsters? I would have thought it could only be good for humanity to go tinkering with forces they were never meant to understand.
