#007 - #008 - #009 - The tails of the Squirtle line are made of sea foam, storing air for long dives. They prefer staying at shores and spraying water on random passersby for amusement.

Sponsored by @la-bruja. Design process under read more.

So for this line I had three main goals: 1. Add some more aquatic turtle anatomy on the line. 2. Make their shells based on sea shells, so that i can introduce the blastoise cannons as the shells openings, almost like a siphon. 3. the very popular "put that fur back into the blastoise.

So for my studies i started with studying both a turtle with flippers and one without, and then applying those on my squirtles to see which one worked best. To avoid overlap with the titouga line, I decided to go with the snaked neck turtle as inspiration, but i brought some of the pig nosed turtle's nose to the line because its cute

The tails turning into some sea foam-y subsance and the fur ending up looking more like gills came later, to tie down random parts of the design into a more water related theme, instead of it just being a water type because its a blue turtle. also it storing oxygen is a reference to turtles breathing outta their ass btw. they do that

The rest just came from me enjoying drawing turtles and making it as accurate as i could without losing the whimsy

I got a cousin that’s moving from the country to a metropolis for work. He’s been doing research on ‘street smarts’. Stuff like ‘pay attention once it gets dark’ and ‘don’t take CD’s from people’. Do you have anything about big cities that’s a bit more…‘hush-hush’ that he might need to keep in mind?

Depends on where he's going! If he's going to a coastal city, please remind him:

Last night in Nebraska's largest city, Omaha, 3 term Republican mayor Jean Stothert was up for re-election, in the final days of her re-election campaign she went all in on transphobia, with a TV add accusing her Democratic opponent, John Ewing, "Ewing stands with radicals who want to allow boys in girls’ sports,”

Ewing and the Democrats fought back

and last night?

Congratulations to Omaha on its first black mayor, and remember calling Republicans bathroom creepers remains undefeated.
