These are the Ecosystem badges for Nature Flight’s battle against Arcane this week.  Since Arcane’s territory is known for being radioactive, I based it on some of the naturally occurring radioactive minerals- Torbernite, Autunite, Uraninite, and Metatorbernite.  The website GeologyIn was really helpful for information, and for photo references of what the minerals look like so I could paint them.

A HnK OC i adopted from L.S.D on Amino

I immediately fell for their character design

And also because they wear gloves like my other HnK OC, Black Opal XD

Torbernite becomes Metatorbernite when dehydrated, and that can make them pretty cranky due to lack of water. So they need to submerge in water from time to time like Black Opal does too XD
