Problem:

The oil spillage is a bit much coming from what looks like one's crotch. It looks more like biological effluence than leaking oil. So, imagine it tinted brown and characters such as these:

Full Metal Diaper
A Steaming Punk
Lady Di Areeyah
Montezuma's Revenger

Well, I could go on.


Suggestion:

Lessen the amount that spills and to make the hips and elbows the emanation points for the oil drips.

I agree with the "oil" draining from the crotch issue. Albeit I do love the "oil" draining from the crotch... for I did make a few (more than 3, less than 10) toons that played upon that "undesirable" effect. he he he... uh-hem.

Purely suggestive:
The Victorian Aura would be neat if it could remain more visible instead of "ripple fading". Maybe a subtle "pulse" effect from, say, 10-15% opacity increasing to 30-40%. Hell, even a combat aura only version that stays on with no fade. I just really love the aura... and get sad when it fades away...
