there was a sanke form magic school bus???

From one of the video games on PC. Believe it was from the "Animals" Game.

Here is a clip https://youtu.be/SR0P1SV2ePc?t=1m37s

well looks like your about to be magic fat for this snake

Oh hey, you finally drew him too! Looks great ^_^

Thank you! Although the character of the snake I was aiming for isn't how I imagined him to be, but hey. Isn't that the reason for doing these Iron Artist Challenges? To get better at art? I will be drawing this snake again too!

See ya, Zack! x3

*Reaches out and grabs you to take you with me* >:3

Meeep! ^///^

"Considered adopting him myself as one of my OCs. His mammal-like tongue and teeth features and all! Even have a silly backstory ready for him. Could be a future IronArtist entry to make a reference sheet for him. I don't think whatever company that made those games would really care if I adopted him anyway."

Just to be safe, I would consider doing two things.

#1: Acknowledge that this is, technically, not a 100% OC. Maybe call it an Original Adaptation or Expansion instead.

#2: Acknowledge his original source with your backstory. Like. . . I dunno, maybe he's vegan (stay with me) and safe for human children to be around, ergo he, his pet vegan jaguar, and his pet jaguar's pet toucan can give a food chain demonstration to a dimension-hopping schoolteacher and her class with zero risk of them experiencing it themselves for the first and last time (unless they say please, in which case it only isn't for the last time).

I honestly don't think they'll care, or even notice for that matter. But still, when it comes to non-OCs, I figure we should at least try to be as respectful of others' work as we would want others to be of our work in turn.

Okay, points taken. With those points being the case, I would want to change a thing or two, but what really?

The backstory in mind is that he was an experiment gone wrong. Not only that, but he comes from a reality where there was a one in a one hundred billion of a chance of him being affected by the experiment. Said effect turning the character into the snake from another species. Explaining why he has mammal features like teeth and tongue.

Beyond that, the character wouldn't be as to family-friendly, so to say. There are a couple scenes in my mind where he's in naughty situations, that, and he's taking advantage of the fact he's a snake and can now swallow other beings whole.

Those aspects on the table, What would you recommend from there?

Well, there's nothing that says he needs to be family-friendly 100% of the time. Just when it's required of him.

Really, the source material only establishes three things beyond the setting in which he appears:
#1: He eats at a table off of a plate (implying he is at least capable of feigning being civilized).
#2: He eats a jaguar (an uncommon prey for an anaconda).
#3: His eating the jaguar (and the jaguar eating the toucan) is the subject of a rap, implying he's done it more than once.

Since the jaguar he swallows also swallows his (or her) respective prey whole, maybe you could apply the same logic there; that this cat is also one of the one-in-a-gazillion that were affected and gained snakelike features from it, and that may have influenced their decision(s) to stick together and allow themselves to be presented as a set (BTW: vibrant colors generally only appear on birds with no natural predators, ergo the toucan doesn't really belong in a traditional food chain model either). And since the implication is that it's at least happened enough for a kid to write a rap about it, there is some means by which the process repeats.

Biggest thing I would say is that, really, the source material only provides the basic core elements: The who, the where, and possibly the why; something they do for this strange dimension-hopping lady with terrible fashion sense, probably only once a year. What happens the rest of the time (and to whom), that's the subject of your art.

So, um, just a thought. Once a year or so, Honda will show off the Asimo robot, usually doing some menial task like mixing drinks or waiting tables, and then we have to listen to Fox News squealing that blue collar workers are going to be replaced, followed by a statement from Honda that: No, Asimo is NOT meant to replace blue collar workers; it's being developed to be a home health assistant, with all of the other things they program it to do only sufficing to further demonstrate the robot's versatility.

I mention that because maybe you could apply the same logic to your character(s). Maybe, instead of the cliche "experiment gone wrong" backstory, you could say he is (or they are) the product of a bio-lab, possibly one that claims to have such a detailed understanding of the genome that they claim to be able to mix and match features and create whole new species from scratch, probably with the promise of creating highly intelligent service animals, but showing off their versatility at expositions by constantly introducing these one-of-a-kind species that look to have been inspired more by humor and whimsy.

Maybe one year, after apex preds with domestic canine instincts and domestic canines with strange fur patterns started to wear thin, they upped the anti and started giving just stupidly random additional animal features to their children, and one year introduced a toucan with teeth, a jaguar with a snakelike esophagus and monkey hands, and an anaconda that can talk like a parrot.

Noice!
