The Autograph Part 2-7

The Autograph Part 2-7

To wrap up we have the rest of the sketches for the little comic for @chrystallink, featuring her chars Clysmia, Blake, Cider, and Fahrenheit. Hailey and Dia's persona are also featured in line on the third (second here) page, and the latter a little bit on page 6 (image 5), but they're hard to see. And of course, my joke char Bob the Faceless Gaunto. XD

January: A painting study from this pinterest pic. Full image here.

February: Theoretical design WIP for Virame, a side character from Tsuname's story.

March: Image of Lily for my Knights & Lilies PowerPoint.

April: Six of the Torn Apart sisters, plus another, snoozing in a library. (The bookshelves are full of references to me and my friends' stories as well as OCs, webtoons I like, animes, and even a manga magazine.) Full image here.

May: Shiido work doodle. I put his name through google translate and wrote down his name in as many unique scripts as I could find. Bonus points to whoever can pick out the script(s) that are actually from one of my constructed languages. :3

June: Sz'nami in water form. It's a thumbnail edit of this pic from June 2021.

July: @crystallinkcreations's Penelope for ArtFight! You can find the full image in this post.

August: Waizu, the pontificating scientist-philosopher father figure to Naru and Shiido. He teaches them that evil must be destroyed from the worlds he purges. You can find his post here.

September: @a-random-cc's character, Tares, from Torn Apart! I'm sorry I never finished this. :') Full image here.

October: A little running animation I did of Paria from my story Knights & Lilies.

November: A visual representation of a certain Herr's sound perception, based on my experiences in a crowded lunch room. I have a couple extra frames where he's walking, but I decide to save those and freeze him on the frame I showed in the summary of art since the animation isn't finished. :P

December: Part of yet another animation WIP, this frame of Sz'nami. I decided to render it in the summary of art picture at the end of December to make it look even nicer. :P

Lots of WIPs and sketches this year, haha. Sometimes I really need somebody to kick me to finish things. XPP

Hariana Tuftoa

A species of Hariana found in Furheart Iiah. They are much softer than their Fulinean counterparts, who have stiffer, more petal-like bristles than their Furheartian counterparts. Because of this difference in texture, it is sometimes argued that they are in fact not a Hariana at all, but much more closely related to something like the Gloagli Lavilav, with its thin, curled stems and hanging flowers. It has thus been proposed to be renamed the Furheartian Tuftoa, but as it also has many differences from other Tuftoas growing in Furheart Iiah as well, even its second name has also been thrown into question. So it is still up for debate whether it should be classified under the Harianan or Tuftoan family, or even one closer to the Gloagli Lavilav due to their similarities.

Nomenclature aside, Hariana Tuftoa 'fur' is quite popular with Fashion Buddys, especially those who travel and need warmer coverings against the sailing winds.

Elemin Dariana on Young Pura Pathvine

A creeping, flowering vine that can be found sparsely throughout JI. Though it has a preference for dry weather, it is a tenacious vine that can thrive in just about anything. That said, grass tends to out-compete it, so it's rarely found in the wild, much less without support. It is thought to have originated on a northern Fuline Ah island or perhaps a south Reline Ah one, but it is best known for its presence on the Reline Ah continent as a domestic vine. Despite its hardy nature, it takes careful pruning and care to thrive.

The Elemin Dariana is the namesake of one of the first Flower Buddys, Elderflower, and for that reason, Elemin Darias are often called Elderflowers in Reline Ah.

In their early phases, the flower buds have a nutty, almondy flavor. When they bloom, their flavor changes to more of a sweet, faint licorice taste. The stems have a much stronger licorice taste and texture, though since the flower is rather rare, tea and candy made from parts of the plant are rarely served outside of Reline Ah.

A fully mature Pura Pathvine has yet to be discovered. There is even some question as to whether or not they are Pathvines at all or simply a different kind of megaflora, or perhaps even a dwarf species of Pathvine. Still others say that Pura Pathvines are very special, and when fully grown, connect to a dimension that has never before been discovered. Some proponents of the dwarf theory agree that Pura Pathvines have a connection to other dimensions, but instead merely act as gateposts or landmarks, growing near the gate to one, or even acting as the gate itself. Which ever theory is correct, there is still much to be discovered about Pura Pathvines. Known specimens include one in Reline Ah, featured here, and two others, one found between Furheart Iiah, Reline Ah and Batulia Songlianne out at sea, and another between the south coast of Crescent Minoria and Warminia Songlianne. As more specimens are discovered, researchers expect to have a better grasp on the nature of these Pura Pathvines.

Cloudpetal Founta

A relative of the Biminia Cloudpetal, Cloudpetal Fountas look a bit more tree-like, with large, drooping leaves like palm branches. The 'petals' of the Cloudpetal Founta are actually soft seedpods that contain still more cotton within them. The softest garments made by Fashion Buddys often use the inner cotton from Cloudpetal Founta seedpods.
