A Meeting with the High Priestess

Wanted to do something spooky, and sci-fi and out of the box for me. Was really struggling with the guy at the bottom because I could not gather good reference for him, but I'm satisfied with the final result.

Meerkit

Animal: Meerkat Sweet: Kit-Kat Level 5 Pinata

And now to explore the Dessert Desert some more.

I actually had no plan to work on this guy. I started working on him maybe a year ago but couldn't find the look I liked for him so his file was abandoned. Until, for whatever reason, last night I opened it up and just pumped him out.

Salmonem

Animal: Salmon Sweet: M&Ms Level 3 Pinata

Another fish to inhabit the wild, to-be-named lake region.

Also if this were a theoretical 3rd game, the Fizzlybear's requirements would need to adjust.

Minkies

Animal: Mink Sweet: Twinkies Level 5 Pinata Sour Ability: Curls up on your garden floor and causes snow to melt, and grass to singe away, leaving large patches of dirt Sweet Ability: Guides pinatas off the wrong terrain or some other temperature related ability for a new game feature?

Now that I've finally dipped my toes into Pinarctic species, I've decided to stick around for a bit.

Hazbin Hotel Self Insert

Getting back to these self inserts is pushing me through my artist's block.

Also, I was really analyzing the color palette for this show, and its weird. Basically all the main characters (the ones based in hell at least) follow a very specific, limited color palette of heavy reds and pinks, yellows and a splash of purple. But the background characters follow no such rule and are basically anything. So it made it hard to decide what to do about my green sweater because green is virtually non-existent in the main character palette. Settled for a brownish yellow for it, but its strange how these rules work in the show.

Heed of Winter

In a wintery mood (despite being in Los Angeles) so I thought I'd apply it.

I actually started out feeling really lost and hating this, but I forced myself to finish, and I'm glad I did!
