Description I probably won't be able to submit these as often as these first couple, but wanted to start off with at least two to show!

Overworld Enemy #2: Tektite

"These spidery things jump about all over the place. Red ones move about a lot and blue ones move only a little. Tektites have little fighting power."

- The Legend of Zelda Manual

Much like Octoroks, Tektites tend to fight and travel together in groups. Using their powerful, sinewy and springy legs, Tektites can make any great leap with ease, often disorienting their attackers by rapidly jumping from surface to surface. The ends of their legs are bladed, allowing them to dig into the sides of mountains and hilltops, as well as use them like weapons. A hard, shelled carapace and underbelly protects its vital organs andΒ conceals a large, lone eye, able to repel most attacks with bladed weapons or arrows. However, these creatures aren't particularly strong or smart, and well-placed attacks to its eye or its leg-tendons well render it defeated or immobile.Β

Your versions enable me to see these things in live action and it is horrifying. Β

Awesome!
May I ask you how did you achieve that nice watercolor effect? Is it a brush you purchased or created yourself? It's really cool.
Thank you in advance Nathan

Thanks as always!

The brush is from Kyle Webster's watercolor brush packs, which can be purchased, but the price is very affordable from what I can remember! On top of that, I have a parchment texture on overlay to make the effect a bit more noticeable.

Aaah, thanks, I was wondering if it was Kyle's. I still haven't bought these magnificent brushes. Time to give them a spin!
