Go here to make your Eel

It's all in Japanese but isn't hard to figure out. First tab is markings, second is colors. The button is when you're finished. But screen capping it works better.

But when you're done creating your eel, you personify it! Like what i did here. Apparently it's a kind of meme that took off on Tumblr o.o

Good god, this is supposed to look human DX
More like creepy derp chibi....A creepy derp chibi that looks like a Female Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes.
