Drew this meme after reading Crystal Age by @shimamom & Beyond the Quartz Walls by rfpetals (dunno if they have a Tumblr) on Namicomi. It was based on this old meme I saw floating around on the internet (Also, dunno the original source of that one).

Addendum: Extractors like Berthierine are definitely not gonna be favored very well by Gems (Houseki no Kuni & Crystal Age) & Promises (Beyond the Quartz Walls). Because they’re known to steal souls, they’d most likely be considered traitors (Gems from Hnk would conclude they work for the Lunarians | Gems from CA would think they’re sacrificing other Gems to save their own hide from Sinners | Promises would think they’re Sirens masquerading as other Promises)

REALLY down to the wire with this one. But (as of posting) it’s not midnight in Hawaii yet!

Prompt was “Golem” (so my mind went GOLEM> STATUE> TIKI> WOOD CARVINGS >WOODEN CARVED MASKS > OGREPON)

Which is perfect because this is an Ogrepon Divergent Evo.

OGREPOM (like palm) is only currently found in Alola. Her mask bares markings on the forehead, which match the colors of the 4 Tapus. Perhaps they are linked somehow? 🤔

(TBH this one was really special for me, having grown up on Oahu for 13 yrs. I love the Alola region games, since they remind me so much of home. And I can’t wait until Gamefreak revisits them one day)

Keen eyes will spot a lot of the things that went into this design. From striking a hula dance pose, to her hair/arms being the leaves of a taro plant. In her hair is a flower from Comfey’s lei. She has orbs resembling a kukui nut lei. She not only has grass skirt, but even has Kupe’e (ankle leis) incorporated into her design.

Her guardian mask is based around tiki statues. With a Mahiole (Hawaiian feather helmet) and Ikaika warrior helmet, inspired looks towards the upper half.

Hope y’all like her. Mahalo. Back tomorrow with another one.

When your character does mitosis These are some variations of my character Banana that were born out of my lack of design consistency. I've named each one after a type of banana, but with no specific criteria at all. Are they separate characters or just variations of the same character? idk All of these little freaks smell like bananas and feed on honey and fruits. My main design inspiration here is the bee Tetragonisca Angutula, but there're also tamarin, dinosaur and cat features in the mix.

Happy 89th birthday to the amazing Dr. Jane Goodall, born #OTD (3 Apr 1934). Here’s a display about her childhood nature club with a cool drawing, from the 2020 Becoming Jane exhbition at the National Geographic Museum in DC:

Bonus: here too is a photo of the display with Jane’s doctoral thesis. That’s a hand-typed copy with photos hand-pasted in…just some perspective for everyone currently working on their thesis/dissertation with the benefit of a computer. 😉
