Sznami Front And Back

Sz’nami Front and Back

Wooo, a new reference for Sz’nami! It’s been years. XD Another one of the Wotren gang, she’s the mom friend of the team. She ends up helping out a very important character in the series, but the details are confidential for now. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) She’s close to one of my favorites, and honestly, her mom friend moments are so relatable. 😔 At least to me. Anyways, so yeah, this is her! Was hoping to get a few more angles in before ArtFight starts, but oh well. Make sure to follow me on ArtFight if you’re interested! See you on the battlefield~~

Today's plant! I struggled with how to reinterpret my 2009 design. I still might make a separate plant based off another design I thought of for this plant, but for now... keep reading for more!

Furheartia

The namesake of the continent, Furheart Iiah. It only grows there, but some cultivation attempts have resulted in greener leaves. Flora that grow in Furheart Iiah tend to become pink or tinged pink from the mist that blows in from the surrounding water, which makes the sky and everything else appear pink as well. When the plants that grow on Furheart Iiah are cultivated in foreign soil, they tend to take on greener colors depending on the location. The leaves of the Furheartia plant are beloved for tea, especially if they are imported from their native land, where they maintain a sweet but mellow, calming flavor.

Sizapop Rizzleri

A rare Wing Alaynan plant with strange properties. The fruit it bears has a hard, clear shell that is soluble in water. Inside is a semi-sweet, fizzy liquid that will make a big splash if the fruit is dunked in hot water. Thus it is preferred to chip off chunks of the outer coating for flavoring instead of trying to dissolve the whole thing in water at once.

And today we've got some megaflora! Keep reading for more info on this big guy!

Grippanala Pathvine

One of three main types of Pathvines, they are large vines that reach all the way up to Sky Buddy World, making a bridge between the land and sky. Winged Buddys and power cloud services can usually be found here, ready to help you on you're way up. Some adventurous sorts may try to climb the vine themselves or with a group, but it's generally still recommended to go via powercloud--much more enjoyable when you can sit back and enjoy the scenery!

The Grippanala Pathvine is distinguished by the grooves all over the surface of the vine, making it the easiest of the three to climb... in theory. Some may argue that Twis-Tias are superior, but that's a story for another time.

Pathvines can be found sparsely in Wing Alayna. There are even said to be a few found growing from the sea or on remote islands.

My brain upon seeing someone else post a summary of art meme on tumblr: Hey, did you know you can post this on places other than dA? Me: :O No wai!

Anyways. XD Here you gooooo. A lot of this is linked in my tambles year in review so you can just scroll down to see most of them XD; But others are a bit more obscure. Keep reading for a full description of everything.

Honeydrop Flussom

Thought to be imported from Crescent Minoria, though it is also speculated that it is a crossbreed of a Rinrin Boubou flower for its nectar-dripping quality, or else a distant relative of the Wingilana Skyplantona for the similar quality of its nectar. Found in the Pachimori Forest, it prefers shady places, and the yellow points on it are thought to change color depending on the conditions it’s in--whether hot, dry, moist, etc--and/or to denote the ‘mood’ of the plant. Its Crescent Minoria heritage though is evident by the sheen of its stem and leaves, as well as the glowing quality the yellow bits have. It is distinct from a Crescent Minoria native flower however in that it does not produce lunar liquid, but only sweet nectar that can be boiled to create a honey-like substance, or consumed raw for a more watery but still sweet taste. Though it has been shown that exposing it to a lot of moonlight will cause the nectar to become milkier, and keep that quality until it has gone without moonlight for a good long period of time. In this way it is thought to be capable of at least blending a lunar liquid-like substance with its nectar, but as it does not seem to consume the lunar liquid like native Crescent Minoria plants do, it is thought perhaps that the need for it was bred out of it, allowing it to freely share whatever substance it creates with whoever is willing to put a container under it. During the Tea Festival, it is common to find wanderers place tea cups under it to collect its nectar to sweeten their tea. The steam from fresh tea is also thought to stimulate nectar production, but this may have more to do with condensation from the steam loosening up crystallized nectar that gathers on the surface of the antennae-like stamen. The petals are also sometimes used as temporary pillows by wanders, as they are quite soft, though usually damp. They can even be sticky from nectar that gets trapped between the petals, so washing and drying them might be the best to produce a feather-like quality.

Final flower for this challenge! Seems like my compositions have been shrinking lately. 😅 Ah well, I think my other circle composition did really well two years ago so maybe it will be well-received again? Or does this challenge just not do as well here as on Instagram? So far that's been the vibe. Ahhh... kinda makes me wish it wasn't a garbage platform... Anyways! Onto floral descriptions! Keep reading for more~

Electora Flora

Similar to the Lyta Flora, the Electora flora stores up energy from the sun and gives some of it off at night. The rest it stores in its roots, which can be harvested and used as a power source. Very few know how to do this though, as it requires some technical knowledge. Electora roots are commonly used in the Queen's Palace, as she is one of the few who know how to utilize them.

A very belated Chrimbus gift for @enjoliquej​ of two of my favorite characters of hers, Simmous and Bing! I wanted to go above and beyond this Chrimbus season and do more than just one character of hers, so, I did! And I thought, it’d be funny if these two met! So... that’s what I did! Yeah. Merry Crisis! :D

Tsuname thinks he is a mer

I forgot to post this on tumblr... This was something I did towards the end of May for “Mermay” though Tsuname isn’t exactly a mer, he’s close enough to one I guess. XD; This was an overhaul of an old picture I did for Mermay in 2016, now with new and improved art. XD;

Sz’nami Front and Back

Wooo, a new reference for Sz’nami! It’s been years. XD Another one of the Wotren gang, she’s the mom friend of the team. She ends up helping out a very important character in the series, but the details are confidential for now. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) She’s close to one of my favorites, and honestly, her mom friend moments are so relatable. 😔 At least to me. Anyways, so yeah, this is her! Was hoping to get a few more angles in before ArtFight starts, but oh well. Make sure to follow me on ArtFight if you’re interested! See you on the battlefield~~
