#cherry chirp

I realized I had some decent sketches I never posted in old notebooks i’m reusing! Take a mini art dump:

Cherry Chirp! He likes to swim.

Misty Streams huddling in her comfy sweatshirt

I flippin love this Kirin face. She is confounded as to why Hailstorm is oblivious to certain things, which are spoilers at the moment.

EVIL PITA!! RUN!!!

I had a whole sketch page of furry attemps and ofc my favorite is the feral one 

I don’t know who he is but he’s cute

Here's a silly question: Which of your OCs is like/would like Pepe?

The first two that come to mind are Cherry Chirp and Terri! They’re both meme trash (Terri goes for the darker humor and shitty puns and Cherry likes brainless humor and anime trash).

Electric Lime would probably join them in that as well since he’s a huge goddam nerd and also sign him up for anything that has a reptile/amphibian on it.

The first small batch of sketches/scribbles!

1. Hailstorm’s cousin, Electric Lime, and his flying lizard (Josh) saying hi to Cirrus (Hailstorm’s flying snake).

2. Simple Solution demonstrating in lab

3. High Seas, seen unusually without clothes. The poor bab often looks tired and worried/concerned.

4 & 5. Drew some continuous line sketches as warmups. A Cherry Chirp and a Nettle! (@gold-and-iron)

Forming connections between a precious cinnamon roll OC and a precious cinnamon roll character just gives you feels over both of them

It's never even crossed my mind before but I just realized that my OC's Seafoam and Cherry Chirp have a lot in common. It took me till I was looking at my OC dragons on Flight Rising to realize, "Wow, they have really similar colors" and that sparked a huge train of thought. 

Seafoam lives in either Chinatown or Japan, haven't fully decided which I want it to be yet, and she loves Asian culture and food. She works at a seafood market, which is related to her cutie mark. 

Cherry Chirp has his cutie mark in cranberry farming, which isn't all that similar, but i'll tie that in in a second. He's somewhat of an anime nerd, and loves traveling the world and seeing what there is to see.

I had already decided that Seafoam wasn't born where she is now, but she lived on the coast as a young filly which is how she found her interest. Pehaps, going off the idea that they could be siblings, maybe the two of them loved swimming from a young age, which is why Chirp's cutie mark also has to do with water? Then they moved, where they lived for awhile until Seafoam moved out, being a bit older than her brother. This would be about when Chirp found his cutie mark. Having a sister working in an Asian market and surrounded by the culture could have led to Chirp's interest in anime, and sparked his interest for traveling. I'm sure Seafoam got visits quite often. 

This...is gonna be official, ya. I like the idea more after writing it out, so...take some official backstory.
