Toco Toucan in gouache
Been really on a creative kick recently and grabbing inspiration from a lot of new sources, it’s been a long time since I made something that felt fun and original but I am actually really proud of how this guy turned out. It’s always an amazing feeling to come out on the other side of a project and be able to recognize my progress and how far I’ve come in not only my execution but understanding of art.
Might make another one of these guys but might take another entirely different route, who knows!!

hey wait a minute
so it's the start of AvA part 7 and Chosen and Dark are talking, right?
and the former has this vision of terrible things happening if they don't stop the latter, right here and now.
they see the ViraBots descending on the last remnants of stick kind with Dark as their leader (or Lord if you will. ha ha)
and i, trusting viewer, took their assessment as reliable*.
we JUST saw Dark getting uncomfortably violent in earlier scenes after all
but
however
notwithstanding
unless Chosen has demonstrable prophetic powers (like how Orange has** in the past seen things currently happening (horizontally-prophetic let's call it: seeing faraway in the current time) (there's probably a better word for this but let's move on)), how did they know this was definitely what Dark was leading up to?
** ⬆ examples of Orange horizontally-prophesizing in AvM episode 11, SkyBlock (unconfirmed but referenced as, "uh? well maybe??? maybe i didn't think about it yet-" (abridged quote from AvG react video))
(op will die /j /extremely pos if this is used again in AvA 11 (HAH they'd both be episode 11 (op just giggled maniacally)))
Dark doesn't even have his control bracelets on.
because Chosen didn't know about them yet.
because this is not a prophetic vision.
Chosen is just that... reactive.
what was it.
@compressedrage (hi o/ ) had a good wording let me find it.
yeah i guess it was reactionary
the ONLY time we've seen them stop to think things through is actually just a terrified anxiety breakdown while they stand there, frozen, imagining the worst, until they snap out of it JUST in time to impact their reality.
but with no time left for debate. reasoning. they assumed Dark was beyond reasoning from the moment he showed off what his device could do............. because they were beyond reasoning out of fear.

Daily fish fact #692
Wrasses!
Several species of wrasse, including the blackspot tuskfish, California sheephead, yellowhead wrasse, and the orange-dotted tuskfish, have been found to use rocks as tools! These fish will repeatedly smash a hard-shelled invertebrate against a rock, cracking it open and eating the soft insides. Pictured above is the orange-dotted tuskfish!
