Obligatory Pinned Post!

Hiya! Im Cherry the space—skunk Cleaner Shrimp. I like drawing and tidy spaces! Give me all the moss on this planet—I mean! I hope you enjoy your stay and my art…

What to expect here…

Furry/Anthro/Critter adjacent art!

A mix of original characters and fan art

A lot of different anthro/furry species, I like shrimp of course, but also like drawing ducks, monkeys, weasels, mice, bunnies, deer, and more! Be warned I do appreciate bugs and will likely share bug anthros as well on this page. I mean shrimps IS bugs after all.

I plan to when I get the chance, share other art I may enjoy! My art tag will be #spaceshrimpart if you want to find it. I will reblog other art with #othersart

This post will be updated as time goes on! For now, I hope you enjoy your stay!

May have been working on some Star Fox ocs…meet Coco Palmetto! A mech mechanic that starts being trained to pilot the mechs she repairs. Shes very dedicated to what she does, and is constantly pushing herself to prove herself to her peers.

An older piece from last year I never uploaded, had the silly idea of a scene core Mantis Shrimp character since they have all those bright rainbow colours. A bit old art wise but I may redraw her again soon.

Been awhile! Missed drawing my Andross Empire Monkees, so I drew this over the last couple of days. Do plan to draw them more in the future, they are always such a treat to draw.

Got this silly doodle idea to draw my Shrimp sona Cherry drinking some boba styled tea, but instead of tapioca balls in the tea, it’s moss balls. I hope you all see the vision I did.

[sillyspaceshrimp]

Of course I had to give Meteo Crusher Pilot, aka Mateo a doodle page! Really wanted to give the impression of his holier than thou personality, he’s incredibly vain, and looks down upon others around him. But he heavily relies on them to make sure his appearance is up to his high standards. It’s hard to pull a corset tight by yourself after all! His smug demeanor and calm facade definitely slips away when he’s backed into a corner, and those who really know him know he’s got a really short temper.

[sillyspaceshrimp]

This here is Mateo, my take on the Meteo crusher pilot! He’s one of my fave takes for sure, he had to exude a vain, self important, posh vibe. Typically very calm, collected, and “above everyone else” but when pushed he absolutely snaps and crashes out, shattering his uppity exterior. He’s incredibly fun to think about, I imagine he’s nice to a lot of peoples faces but absolutely is judging and gossiping about them behind the scenes. I really wanted the vibe of his personality in his fight where his tactics tend to involve feigning that he’s more helpless than he is, master manipulator much? (Let’s be real though, he’s for sure got a pathetic side he’s hiding deep down) Appearance wise I wanted this sort of aged and tired pretty boy look. He’s incredibly vain when it comes to his appearance for sure. He wont let anyone tell him he’s past his prime.

To accompany my Granga Doodle Page I’ve done a Shogun Pilot aka Soarin doodle page! Wanted to show his self perceived protagonist vibe with this, and of course he builds Gundam model figures in his free time, NERDDDD

[sillyspaceshrimp]

And here’s my take on the Shogun pilot, who I’ve named Soarin. Info dump on him below for those interested!!

Soarin is…well he’s the cocky little freak he condemns. He 100% believes he is the star of a Gundam anime, that he is the hero and he hams that up. My take of the Shogun Pilot actually intentionally deepens his voice/makes himself sound older when in actuality he's one of the youngest bosses (in my head canons of course bwaha). He is much less serious than Granga and is a bit more of a show off, and tends to brag about his abilities/is definitely overly confident (cough cough cocky little freak). Every shot he’s in he’s hitting some cool post or trying to say something quotable that will catch on. He believes in many ways that he is the main character of an anime and nothing bad ever happens to them, right?

[sillyspaceshrimp]

I really like doing these character doodle pages, I find them a fun way to show off the story and personality of the characters I draw. Here’s one I did with my take on Granga 🐒

[sillyspaceshrimp]

Also I have been reading your tags and kicking my many shrimp feet in joy and delight by how much you’ve been enjoying my take on Oikonny. Thanks guys I really cant wait to show you more of what I’ve drawn for this franchise!

[sillyspaceshrimp]

Don’t know if my husband envisioned my fixation on Star Fox causing me to laser focus on Andross’ forces, but it did. I am quite literally monkey brained at the moment. So of course I did my own takes on the Star Fox 64 bosses starting of with Granga.

Character wise I know there isn’t much for him outside some iconic quotes…but I may have been cooking up some of my own headcanons for the guy. Read on of you are interested!

Disclaimer I feel a lot of people interpret him in their own ways, this is just my personal take and headcanon! It’s all for fun.

My personal take away from Granga and what sources say about him is that he’s incredibly devoted and loyal to Andross. That is probably the most defining trait of his character. And I ran with that, Granga is loyal and in many ways like the teachers pet to him. He admires his “Emperor” and would pretty much do anything he asks even if his own life is on the line. Personality wise I have been portraying him as the most “serious” out of the other bosses, being a stickler for the rules and critical of others levels of respect and devotion to Andross. In a lot of ways…I’ve taken a lot of inspiration from Dwight Schrute from the Office of all places for his personality….XD

In my headcanon…au? Own interpretation? Andross himself views Granga as nothing more but a pawn, a tool to use. He definitely takes advantage of his loyalty but ultimately doesn’t really “care” about him outside for what he can be used for. But he certainly puts up the front that he does. I imagine a scenario where he says the exact same speech praising his forces word for word for all the bosses and just switches out name, like an automatic Email. “ ”_____” You are the strongest in all my army and you will do great things for my empire” kind of deal. And because Granga is so loyal he eats it up. He’s so desperate for praise and approval from someone. And Andross has promised people like him a better life…why would someone as Great as Andross be lying about that?

In general as I said hes pretty serious, can be a bit moody/grumpy but not overly bad tempered. He tends to be viewed by others around him as taking things a “bit too seriously” and “should light up a little bit” but he’s kind of oblivious to these opinions on him. His opinions on others tends to be linked on how they view Andross, and he tends to respect and admire anyone who’s more seasoned and experienced than him.

So thats my Granga take! I hope you guys enjoy, I’m a bit nervous but eager to share my own headcanons and thoughts on these characters! Much more to come, I have quite the backlog! I’m still new to a lot of the lore and doing my digging but my perspective is Star Fox as a series is really open to people coming up with their own ideas. I’m excited to see what other peoples takes on these characters are the more time I spend in this fandom! :D

[sillyspaceshrimp]

Said I was cooking up a new look for Andrew! A few new looks even, I may have ended up doing a sort of “timeline/through the years” line up of him. Really like this design much more than my first pass at him, feel I did him a lot more justice and portrayed him more in the way I wanted. A little nepo baby who’s a bit of a brat, but ultimately is desperate to prove himself and get the approval from his Uncle that probably never comes, and in time gets a bit humbled. What will happen next for him? Suppose we will see in future…

[sillyspaceshrimp]

Hoo boy! So I want to be real…I drew Star Wolf first, haha, hehe even. A few notes on these designs and the thought that went into them!

Wolf himself, I used a lot of different references across the games, collected for me by my husband (thank you dear) and tried to do a combo of everything with my own flair! I gave him a stupid mullet, because I’m cringe and free, made him a bit scrappy and battle scarred, wanted to give him a bit of a punk edge so spikes and what not. Is it a big extra? Maybe. But I feel extra is kind of the whole of Star Wolf’s thing.

Leon! Probably one of my faves from the group haha. I really wanted to give him a hunched over slimy guy vibe. Gave him more markings because I thought it would be fun, and I really like the pops of colour across his design. Believe I was referencing a “panther chameleon” for that funnily enough.

Pigma I mayyy have had a lot of fun with. I actually based him off my fave breed of pig, an Oxford Sandy and Black, that have this really unique look to them, brown with black spots! I also gave him the tattoo based off the logo on his ship in Star Fox Assault. I wanted him exuding massive scum bag energy. You may find in future this is kind of one of my faves types of character to draw XD

Andrew I’m considering a first pass to be honest. I like his design here but I have been reworking his design and developing it a bit more. Vibe here was make him look sort of scrappy and spotty with really pathetic facial hair. Trying realllly hard to look like Uncle Andross but failing. The more I look at his outfit it feels a bit random, I think I was trying to combine stuff across different designs but also make it my own thing? But again, first pass, we can always return to the drawing board. I really honestly like his character so expect more of him in future. Expect a lot of monkey in the future actually…

Panther…aughhh I will be real he’s probably the one that does the least for me. I want to like him! I do!!! And I get why people would. But I struggle a bit with his character. And his design is probably the one that I struggled with, I wanted to add a “flair” to him to make him my own and what came to me is pretty boy silver Fabio hair. It’s maybe a bit cheesy but I suppose that’s the vibe I was going for?

So yeah thats my take on Star Wolf! Again this was my first pass at these characters, and I will potentially change them a bit going forward. But I’ve enjoyed working on this piece and I’m so excited to share more!!! Also note that they aren't probably accurate height wise here either and even then never expect height accuracy with him its often just “whatever the vibe is at any time” xD

[sillyspaceshrimp]

My husband mayyy have got me fixating on Star Fox…just maybe. Still need to be brave and play the game (at the moment I’ve watched him play them all) but I love the world (or should I say space?) its set in. I love that its got elements of cosmic space horror to a degree as well. Really good stuff. And what a cast of characters! Both him and I have been having a go at designing our own takes on all the characters. I actually started with Star Wolf since I’m quite fond of bad guys/villains, but it makes sense to share the heroes first, so here is my take on Fox and his team! I took elements across different versions of the characters from different games, but also tried to add my own personal flair and style to them. Compared to my takes on Star Wolf I don’t think they stray too far from their original appearances? I may revisit the designs but for now I’m pretty happy with them!

Def expect a lot more Star Fox related art. Def expect my own headcanons and interpretations. Im just here to have fun XD

(I may have set up a star fox side account for infodumping that I might share later heheh)

Enter Cherry the Cleaner shrimp, a tropical shrimp that for some strange reason is able to hang out with freshwater shrimp…could it be that she’s actually an alien from outer space? Nah…of course not.

My main sona! Cherry is definitely a cleaner shrimp with a few quirks. She hates messes and disorganized spaces, and is seen often tidying up, especially after others. She loves to draw and uses her Neocaridina shrimp buddies as her muses. She can be seen as a bit dramatic and goofy but is very adored by the little shrimp around her.
