Todays Flower! Finally Caught Up To One A Day. Of Course, That Wont Last Probably With Monday Morning

Today’s flower! Finally caught up to one a day. Of course, that won’t last probably with Monday morning right around the corner, but, it’s good to be caught up if only temporarily. :)

Luna Cirrala

The leaves of the flower are more like growths from the stem than actual leaves, but they serve a similar purpose. Like many other Crescent Minoria flowers, the Luna Cirrala gathers energy from the moon and transforms it into liquid, which it stores in the bowl formed by its petals. When there is excess lunar liquid, the flower shuts to prevent waste, and opens again when the flower is not as full anymore. The lunar liquid of Crescent Minoria flowers is a coveted substance, though it is known to have strange effects on Buddys, particularly in tea. Though usually, the substance needs to be mixed or diluted if consumed, since it has an unpleasant taste in higher concentrations. At most though, the effects of consuming lunar liquid mostly include wanting to lay in the moonlight and absorb its lunar rays, and the effect is usually short-lived. Diluted, it may be known to cause dreams about Crescent Minoria or simply a longing for moonlight.

(The emoji is "🙃 - Someone to share their suffering with." Since it's just a box on my end I thought I'd make that clear. XD; )

Sorry for the lack of updates! I really wanted to get caught up, and I finally have! But I can only post 10 images at a time so I'm gonna post 'em in two chunks anyway. Keep reading for floral info! Also, I really wish I had time for editing this year... They'd look so much better with a little touchup, but I just don't have time for the big-scale editing I did last year. :x I did end up touching up a few of them but there's still so many things I'd like to fix.. Oh well. Anyways, onto floral info!

Thinia Windseed

A thin, watery flower that prefers the wetter climate of Laykia Layna to its northern counterpart, Buddy World (sometimes referred to as Amica Layna or Amicania since the 'World' part can be misleading), but sometimes has been known to pop up there as well during the rainy season. Despite the flower's frail appearance, it is quite hardy, even seeming to prefer windier climates to help spread its seeds far and wide. It is sometimes cultivated as a houseplant as well for its hardiness, and has been known to come in many colors in its domestic variety. There are not many uses known for the flower aside from house decoration.

Berabera Bush

Though natively found in Furheart Iiah and usually grown in continental Wing Alayna, it has been found that Berabera Bushes also grow quite well on cloud ground, strangely enough. Cultivating them there has sometimes led to them taking on a whiter, wispier appearance, but they are also found in their usual coloration as well. Beraberas are beloved for their tart, sweet taste, and a lovely addition to tea, either mixed with leaves or eaten separately. Lovers of fruity teas will especially love Berabera tea.

Cottonlar

Thought to be a relative of their sylvan cousins Flufftuffs, Cottonlars are often seen being grown in cloud ground in Sky Buddy World. The cotton-like substance they grow is beloved for making pillows, and is known to produce fluffy threads when consumed by Fashion Buddys. The whole plant is rather soft to the touch, with the fruits of course being the softest.

Many-headed Laria

A fleshy, fiddlehead-like plant thought to be a relative of the Stafflant and others in the Lar family. They have a vegetable-like taste when consumed, and are often a part of many a sylvan diet. The can be found in Pachimori and the Great Buddy Forest.

Samiana

A relative of the Veriana, the Samiana can be found in Wing Alayna, both in Pachimori, the Great Buddy Forest, and even the plains. Efforts are still ongoing to cultivate the plant, as it seems to prefer wild soil, but is desirable as a houseplant.

Cloudlar

The aerial relative of the Lonlar, the Clouldlar is a soft plant that produces smooth, silky threads when consumed by Fashion Buddys. It is a cultivar of the Lar family that only grows in Sky Buddy World and/or in cloud ground.

Surfing Klaudee

A rare flower that seems to float on its own, drifting about on the sky on small tufts of cloud ground. Sometimes, it is known to use up all of the nutrients in its patch of cloud ground and fall through it, but usually finds another bit to latch onto. There is some question as to whether the flower is a living being, as it seems quite... active, at times.

Wing Alaynia

The namesake of the continent of Wing Alayna, Wing Alaynias are only found in white on its titular continent. Though they do grow on Furheart Iiah and Warminia Songlianne, the ones on the latter grow green, and the former, pinkish. Wing Alaynan Wing Alaynias are known for having the strange, but not unwelcome property of filling one with hope when it is stared at for a moment. Even in the depths of despair, it is said to be a ray of hope for all who stay to gaze a moment at it.

Lyta Flora

These nocturnal flowers are known to glow a warm, brilliant glow at night. Even after picked, the glow can last for a long time, especially if left in the sun during the day. They have the strange property of being able to store sunlight to give off as a glow during the night, and somehow manage to retain this property even if they are not rooted to the ground.

Misinia Curloa

A tall, sylvan flower that can be found growing in the Great Buddy Forest. It is also found on Furheart Iiah and Warminia Songlianne as well. It is a highly-favored flower for tea, as each part of the flower can be used in it. Together, they make a soft, sweet tea. The curly stamen-like bits are especially sweet and melt in hot water, making them useful as a sweetener in other capacities as well, like being or to sweeten other teas.

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~~

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.

What? A Kaze post out of season? It sure is!

I'm trying to drag myself out of this art hole and maybe actually. produce art that's showable. Instead of throwing lines on a page and then forgetting about them for 8 months. I'm gonna go to Lightbox this year and I want to try and throw together a portfolio. All I know is I want to start throwing myself at this art thing again to see if I can't like... find a way to sustain myself with art??¿¿?? I'd kind of given up after the pandemic hit but after a bad day at work a few months back I finally decided I want to work towards quitting. So... yeah. I'm trying to put more effort into art lately.

Anyways! This is Waizu. He adopts Naru in the story. He destroys planets for science and convinces Naru he's doing it for a good cause. Is he though? Well... he thinks it is.
