#fibonacci lore

Okay so I made rough drafts of what I was thinking for a character in my Sonic OC lineup. I in particular wanted a shark but I didn't know which shark and even after doing some concept art I'm not sure which one I like best. So I'm going to cast a wider net and get some opinions here. Since I was working by hand I took pictures at both the pencil sketch line art and colored stage. I can't put close-ups of each of the three pictures I took of the four different sharks because of tumblr's stupid image limit but I'll put the group shots below a readmore at the bottom if you want to like compare them all four together. These are definitely not the best but it gets the basic shape across and I'm thinking for each variety of shark. They also don't have any the personalization I'm going to add to the OC I just wanted the base idea done. I'll put size context in parentheses in relation to like actual Sonic characters.

Whale shark (I'm thinking about the size if not a pinch smaller than Omega)

I kind of messed up his spots that are like iconic to whale sharks but I'd make it more clear in a digital version with a bit more control over the pigmentation

Megamouth shark (A little bit bigger than Big)

I messed up the line art with the eye a little bit I think I fixed it a bit more in the colored version but yeah that's not meant to be uneven

Nurse shark (smallest of the shark options, probably about the same size as Sonic)

Goblin shark (somewhere between the height of Vector and Espio)

Which shark design?

Whale

Megamouth

Nurse

Goblin

During my world building for the Sonic fanfic stuff I decided to make a fake currency. Details about them below.

Chells are coins of various pentagonal shapes. Each denomination of Chell has a distinct shell pattern distinguishing the metal it was minted with. The metal determines the value of the Chell. On Stratum they order of value in collaboration with the metal’s weight per gram of a 3mm pure sphere. The weight to value ratio is not one to one but it lead to an easy system of the heavier the Chell the higher the value. Chells from from lowest to highest value are as follows; Cone shell pattern beryllium triangle coins worth one third of a Chell each. Limpet shell pattern aluminium square coins, worth one Chell each. Cowrie shell pattern titanium hexagon coins, worth ten Chells each. Snail shell pattern palladium octagon coins, worth one hundred Chells each. Scallop shell pattern thulium decagon coins, worth one thousand Chells each. Conch shell pattern platinum circle coins, worth ten thousand Chells each. Each value is commonly called by the shell pattern. Chells are also sometimes called ‘silvers’ as all the metals used are silver in tint, ironically silver has never been used as a coinage metal on Stratum. While being a similar color could pose a challenge Chells are easy to distinguish between from tactile characteristics such as pattern, shape, and weight.

I've lost my mind

And I haven't put in a original post for a while so here's an update on what I've been working on below

Soooo my descent into madness with Stratum (The world by my Sonic oc's are from) continues. I have been researching alllll kinds of things astronomy to zoology and typing away at the physical description of the planet for all this week and I think half of last. I just have two more 'layers' and a revision to add mountains, plains, and ice poles to the 'surface layer' (things have been renamed and I am making a glossary of my own terminology) and the world description first draft will be done💪🏽

Then I need to revise and format all the rest of what I have because you guys prompted me to write down a bunch of interesting things and none of them are organized where they should go😵‍💫

This is going to be an insanely long document, my original writing alone on the physical description is already past 3,300 words. The whole document's over 10,000 but I think some of that is things I copied and pasted to make sure I remembered what terminology I want to use for certain things so it's not all my writing yet. I would bet good money I'm going to pass 10,000 by the time I'm finished though 🫩😮‍💨

I'll be putting it up on here I think instead of in a more private setting since this will be the more finalized version and I want to get more eyes on it. Both cuz I'm proud of what I made and constructive criticism.

Tired rn but I'm going to be so glad when I have this out of my head and into a doc

Tldr, I have been cooking
