Final Flower For This Challenge! Seems Like My Compositions Have Been Shrinking Lately. Ah Well, I Think

Final flower for this challenge! Seems like my compositions have been shrinking lately. 😅 Ah well, I think my other circle composition did really well two years ago so maybe it will be well-received again? Or does this challenge just not do as well here as on Instagram? So far that's been the vibe. Ahhh... kinda makes me wish it wasn't a garbage platform... Anyways! Onto floral descriptions! Keep reading for more~

Electora Flora

Similar to the Lyta Flora, the Electora flora stores up energy from the sun and gives some of it off at night. The rest it stores in its roots, which can be harvested and used as a power source. Very few know how to do this though, as it requires some technical knowledge. Electora roots are commonly used in the Queen's Palace, as she is one of the few who know how to utilize them.

My last attack for the year! A 17-page comic of when Nola and Bryden met. :)

Bryden is @a-random-cc's char! Nola is mine. They're from a story called Guardians that's sort of been in limbo for a while now, but when she drew Nola for me it sparked this comic. Originally I'd planned to finish it, but I had way too many other attacks I also wanted to get done, and I knew this would take up a lot of time. Oh well!

Edit: I forgot the translation XD Most of it is in English but I started it out in Japanese because that's just what I do when I'm thinking I guess.

Page 1: That's weird. I'm sure I've passed that stump before...

Page 2: Geez, where is this?

Page 5: Ow ow ow ow...

(The emoji is "🙃 - Someone to share their suffering with." Since it's just a box on my end I thought I'd make that clear. XD; )

Honeydrop Flussom

Thought to be imported from Crescent Minoria, though it is also speculated that it is a crossbreed of a Rinrin Boubou flower for its nectar-dripping quality, or else a distant relative of the Wingilana Skyplantona for the similar quality of its nectar. Found in the Pachimori Forest, it prefers shady places, and the yellow points on it are thought to change color depending on the conditions it’s in--whether hot, dry, moist, etc--and/or to denote the ‘mood’ of the plant. Its Crescent Minoria heritage though is evident by the sheen of its stem and leaves, as well as the glowing quality the yellow bits have. It is distinct from a Crescent Minoria native flower however in that it does not produce lunar liquid, but only sweet nectar that can be boiled to create a honey-like substance, or consumed raw for a more watery but still sweet taste. Though it has been shown that exposing it to a lot of moonlight will cause the nectar to become milkier, and keep that quality until it has gone without moonlight for a good long period of time. In this way it is thought to be capable of at least blending a lunar liquid-like substance with its nectar, but as it does not seem to consume the lunar liquid like native Crescent Minoria plants do, it is thought perhaps that the need for it was bred out of it, allowing it to freely share whatever substance it creates with whoever is willing to put a container under it. During the Tea Festival, it is common to find wanderers place tea cups under it to collect its nectar to sweeten their tea. The steam from fresh tea is also thought to stimulate nectar production, but this may have more to do with condensation from the steam loosening up crystallized nectar that gathers on the surface of the antennae-like stamen. The petals are also sometimes used as temporary pillows by wanders, as they are quite soft, though usually damp. They can even be sticky from nectar that gets trapped between the petals, so washing and drying them might be the best to produce a feather-like quality.

What? A Kaze post out of season? It sure is!

I'm trying to drag myself out of this art hole and maybe actually. produce art that's showable. Instead of throwing lines on a page and then forgetting about them for 8 months. I'm gonna go to Lightbox this year and I want to try and throw together a portfolio. All I know is I want to start throwing myself at this art thing again to see if I can't like... find a way to sustain myself with art??¿¿?? I'd kind of given up after the pandemic hit but after a bad day at work a few months back I finally decided I want to work towards quitting. So... yeah. I'm trying to put more effort into art lately.

Anyways! This is Waizu. He adopts Naru in the story. He destroys planets for science and convinces Naru he's doing it for a good cause. Is he though? Well... he thinks it is.

Sz’nami Front and Back

Wooo, a new reference for Sz’nami! It’s been years. XD Another one of the Wotren gang, she’s the mom friend of the team. She ends up helping out a very important character in the series, but the details are confidential for now. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) She’s close to one of my favorites, and honestly, her mom friend moments are so relatable. 😔 At least to me. Anyways, so yeah, this is her! Was hoping to get a few more angles in before ArtFight starts, but oh well. Make sure to follow me on ArtFight if you’re interested! See you on the battlefield~~
