CRUISTACEAN

TYPE: NAUTICAL

LIKES: Shiny things, exploring

DISLIKES: Cramped spaces, staying indoors

Cruistacean are very friendly and get along well with other creatures. They will offer help crossing rivers, or even sea, to those that need it. They do not have fear in meeting new people, but they are more hesitant when being approached.

They can accelerate surprisingly fast, whether on land or in water. Watch out for jets of water and their pincers!

i forgot to share some of the new monsters and designs. i want to challenge myself into sticking with 4 colors (including black and white!), so these might not be the "true" colors of the monsters. interpret the colors however you want :)

Jelvysprite and Cruistacean have arrived, representing Electric and Aquatic monsters!

Poltegoat+Luscangel

Micelium+Powketroo

Dracumulus+Canaroc

Toxifarce+Suncrower

any feedback is appreciated! more information about them below the cut

Jelvysprites are based off of jellyfish (specifically the bloodybelly cone jelly and these types of lightning:

(x) (pixies aren’t in the picture, but they inspired the “eyes” for the first two stages)

cruistacean are based off of the blue swimmer crab, with the first stage and last stage being a paper boat and a motorboat respectively.

both of them are stages of the life of sea creatures!

Design Changes

Neither of these have had many design changes because they haven’t existed for so long. other sketches of jelvysprite-3 are on the main image, and the other two were drawn only once before:

cruistacean also hasnt changed much, the first drawing i did of them was this:

Foils

Jelvysprite: first set of foils are based off of the genderfluid flag, and the second is cruistacean’s palette, and the third set are supposed to be electric colors- bright yellow, blue, green, and magenta. i hope its not too eye-strainy ;^^

Cruistacean: first set is based off of the aroace flag, second set is jelvysprite’s palette, and the third are just supposed to be water-y colors.

Pixel Art

I tried doing something that emulates Pokemon’s box sprites, and I think I like them more, so i will be doing sprites like that instead of front facing ones. I will eventually make them for Poltegoat, Luscangel, Micelium, Powketroo, Dracumulus, and Canaroc, though i dont know when

here are their heights:

Jelvysprite:

1'3" / 38 cm 2'0" / 61 cm 3'11" / 119 cm (this only goes up to it’s head, not the halo or puffy shoulders)

Cruistacean:

0'6" / 15 cm 1'6" / 45 cm 3'6" / 106 cm (this does not include the horn or “seat)
