Description This is a response to BendustKas 's Beach Party Invitation! At first it was just a shitty sketch. Then a less shitty sketch. And then it had okayish lines, colors, companions, backgrounds, shading, and this is why it took me a full week to complete vs the less-than-24-hours I thought it would. XD *flails* Kaaaaaaaas I didn't wanna enter my kids until I finished this so please don't close it without meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What is this? A strange object in a river near their home... a glass bottle? And what's inside but a few rattling objects and a letter! Noctla is intrigued. Caerula is apprehensive. Pardal couldn't care less about the weird letter and all he wants is to mess around with and maybe break the shiny bottle it came in and is that a shark tooth?! Be careful Pardal, or your owlfish will snatch away your newfound treasure!!


Edit: I forgot to mention, the companions have names now <3
Cae's are Noodle the dragochick and Fluffy the squicken.
Noctla's are Sir Bean Bellyscoot the frozequin and Siesta the squicken.
Pardal's are Sparkles the owlfish and Jet the squicken.

sCREEEEEECHES You did the thing!!! Don't worry, it won't be closed until I'm done with my comic c; so that Atlantis can be a bit more impressive during the thing X'D But now that just means there's more pressure on me to figure out when I'm closing it //sweats//

I love all the expressions and all the companions that you put in oml! This must have taken so much time, I'm so proud of you :'D And the anticipation in Noctla's mood stone, agh. Pardal's excitement about the shark tooth still slays me, I swear eue Gosh all your anatomies for your kids and all their companions is A+; I especially love your dragochick and owlfish <33

I did the thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing~ Did you doubt I would?
Ahhh yis good, I need to figure out which loons I'll be applying with. Probably my main three and Staerna but I can't do Stae without Rayu my precious gay beans so I still need to figure out who I shouldn't bombard you with... I feel like applying with five is way too many XD Ooooooo what's Atlantis gonna look like?? I wanna seeeeee Wait hush no take your time I still don't even know who I'm applying wiiiiiiiiith

It was such a paaaaaaain and I don't even know why I did it *cries* None of these kids needs any more magic y did I do dis I haven't even drawn any of these companions more than once, except for Pardal's squicken, who's never seen the light of day until now XD They've also got names now, edited 'em into the description. It would've been done so much faster if I hadn't done the companions auuuuuuugh. I'm glad you read the mood stone right! I wasn't sure if anybody would get that one. And Pardal. He was such a pain in the ass for this piece! No matter what I did for at least four hours he looked like a frickin sheep. Also those scales. And the fluff. And I'm still not happy with his wings XD

Awh
Kas
Shush Shtap Too kind Those two are my favorites too I'm glad you like them 

Also, random question... are all of your loons in your Sundance pack, or are some of them separate?

Not exactly X'D The last time we talked about it, it was just a rough sketch before a barbecue that I wasn't sure you were going to finish X'D Also yes send me your kids <3 yes gay beans are great give them to me <3 TBH though five isn't too many if they're all bringing relevant things c; And applications are slowing down, so.... :'D if you look at her info card, you may get a small hint eue

LAUGHS I mean...any image with multiple characters is X'D It's usually worth it, though :') Especially if you get used to drawing the charas and then you can just fly through the drawing process! I actually have enough gift magic for Atlantis to get a meish companion, I just need to take the time to design it X'D I am SCREECHING quietly because my mom is asleep in the room above me at the frozequin's name AHHHHH. I adore <333 Heeheehee I make sure to notice to the best of my abilities all the little bits and bobs of drawings eue Including Noctla's mood stone <3 Ahhh Pardal turned out so good though! He doesn't look like a sheep X'D His scales are glorious (even though they do look like they were a pain to get through, as with any highly detailed bit X'D) and his wings convey a perfect sense of curiosity and excitement <3

I shan't stop and you can't stop me eue

A fair question that I've gotten a couple times X'D I should probably make a diagram or a map at this point X'D But no, only Atlantis, Fishhook, and Twine (and some of Roe's kids) make up the Sundance pack <: Avani lives in a woodland area, Tassos lives in a swampy marsh area, Ryse lives (currently) in a stream system in the forest, Naagindr I'm not sure of yet...and OshiBaba is a wanderer <: They kind of live everywhere lol, always on the lookout for their next meal c;

...right. It was, wasn't it? XD Well, for future reference, if I sketch something digitally, I'm prooooobably going to finish it. Though traditional sketches are likely to remain on paper, unseen, for all eternity :') *coughs* Can I send all my kids? All... eiiiiight, I think? I have eight loons, right? I will give you the gay beans but first I must actually post the second bean's new upgrades lol That... may be a small problem for me. I've spent a lot of time recently thinking about my oldest loons and what their personalities are, what things they like and dislike, but most of my newer kids are... kinds of blank pages. I've got vague ideas of personalities and plans, but nothing concrete, and definitely not a solid grasp on their likes/dislikes yet. How many applications have there been? Are you going to have any sort of hard cutoff with the numbers, or will you just keep drawing loons until you've run out or your hand falls off? XD Are they going to be a jellyfishloon?!

What are you talking about, any drawing at all is *cries more* But I do feel like I've started drawing mildly faster since I started doing so much shit, so... I suppose it's not a horrible thing. Just a bad thing. Heh, I'm not surprised you already have enough gm, the way you've been spewing out colored, shaded, fullbody gifts left and right <3 Though if you go the way I did we may not see Atlantis' companion for a year XD Heeheeeheeeeeee and it's all thanks to yoooou, I love that name so much! Especially it being Sir, makes it so fancy and regal. Sir Bean Bellyscoot. Quite posh. He should have a tophat and a monocle. I'm especially pleased that you were able to get the mood right though! Noticing the color at all is great, but reading what the color means correctly, especially when it's not one of the obvious ones listed in the key, that's impressive <33 there's one smol detail in the drawing I put in that I don't know if it wasn't that interesting or you didn't notice it but... it's there... Believe me though, for a long while, he did. And... his scales weren't too hard this round, because I found a relatively easy way to do them (other than copy/pasting), but it was super time-consuming. But I'm glad you don't think they look like shit lol

Just WATCH me I can totally stop you!!

*coughs* The map is already on your list of things to do now, so you'll totally already be doing this! Just make sure to include all your loons. <3 Ooooh, how should you do it? Should each loon have a lil colored flag or marker you can put on the map to show their home, or maybe a lil image of their head or something? Avani seems like she'd look good in a lil woodland meadow <3 Also dunno if I've mentioned but I love how she's hunched over in the height chart like "I'm not tall I'm still a tiny beb I dunno what you're talking about" Also love how OshiBaba's only like is food and only dislike is hunger XD Life goals right there

Future reference noted XD You can send all of them lol, I have no problem with that <3 Preferably on separate comments for every one or every other so I can keep track of who's where lol. And there's no problem XD new kids are always blank pages, that's what makes them new lol. Gives you time to build them up <: I have absolutely no clue how many apps there have been though, stopped counting a while ago XD I think I'm just gonna let it keep going until I'm ready to start sketching in kids on the sketch that I haven't started yet XD Not quite c; Based on a critter that's a little more biologically advanced lol

This is true XD You have been posting a lot of things though, is very nice to see them showing up in my inbox <3 I mean to have it done at some point soon, but we'll see lol. Have apparently a lot of things to do between now and then XD I would adore seeing a cheerful Sir Bean Bellyscoot with a monocle and tophat, though XD Such a chipper wee lad ;u; I was curious and went to see her old ref :'D Saw that a mix of colours, saturation, etc. dictated different things, I'm just glad that I read it correctly lol <33 SCREECHES I can't believe I didn't see that at first??? I was so focused on Pardal and his tooth and Noctla with her moodstone and Caerula's adorable expression that I didn't notice *cries* I am a horrible human being otl He doesn't look like a sheep now, so be proud XD That means though that you're getting better at drawing his scales :'D 

I'd like to see you try eue

I will, I will XD I plan on drawing a wee flag for the Sundance kids, and teeny headshots for everyone else <: They'll go over their general areas of living <: Also thank you for noticing XD She's a tad frightening anyway, she tries to be smaller to not be too intimidating ;u; OshiBaba is a very simple loon, with very simple needs XD Although...they are willing to fulfill those needs by any means necessary eue

Hokay, will do! ...as long as da doesn't claim I'm spamming you. Watch me not be able to enter at all because da just decides to lock me out of all communication with you. *cries* But- I don't know what they could possibly briiiiiiiiiiing. Plus I felt like I had a bit more of a vague idea of my first three than I have of any of my new four (excluding Mags, I think I've got a decent grasp on her purely because I'm basing her off the personality I feel magnolia trees have XD)- they're all little more than designs, I feel. Though I guess Staerna and Rayu are doing okay, Stae more than Rayu, but Toka's essentially only a design, and while I have plans for Fenice... I don't know how I'm going to get there so there's this weird disconnect to how he is now. ...sketch you haven't started yet? You mean you've already started sketches for this thing?? I WANNA SEEEEEE Uhmmm a sea slug? Squid? Octopus?

Way too many thiiiiings, am tireeeeeeed, but you keep frickin giving me ideas you jerk. *glares pointedly at sliinks event tag* I suppose we will see! Or won't, if you never finish it lol. *coughs*  You read the key before or after seeing this picture? If you figured it out without the key, I'm shocked and amazed. O.o If you did use the key though thanks for at least looking at it, most of the time I don't expect anybody to actually bother using it. You didn't actually say what it is you've seen so I dunno if you're talking about the same thing I am XD Yaaaaaay, sheep!Pardal is no more. Or I'm just getting better at half-assing things XD

I could just stop drawing at all XD

Awwwwwww that sounds so cuuuuuute!! *coughs* Who'll get to be a part of your map other than Roe's kids? *coughs* Gah she's so cuuuuute, but holy shit she's huge! She's almost as big as Fish! And... now I wanna see a picture of OshiBaba nomming a human's hand off after they just fed them a steak or something XD

Okay uh apparently it's only this comment I'm not allowed to reply to XD

X'D if that's the case, I'll just find you on Discord lol. Discord can't claim spam eue You've still got time to figure it out, no worries XD and you can look at what the others are bringing for inspiration <: (I love that magnolia trees have personality. perf) You seem to have a lot of things to work on and develop, design-wise XD I believe in you though, and they will all be magnificent umu)9 No I really haven't started the sketch yet though. Have to figure out how I'm going to put everything together, first XD sea slug would be correct eue

Heeheehee I claim full responsibility for jerkiness eue It will be finished, I promise XD SCREECHES oml he's a proper gentleman ;u; And on a giant canvas??? I love his little dapper pose and ugh. I cry he's so cute ;u; Also sadly I did use the key, I don't have it entirely memorized XD I knew I had read something about mixed colours on the ref though, so I thought I'd go back and see if I could piece it together <: I've been using it for the pics I've done of Noctla, the mixes are just hard to see because of the lighting adjustments lol whispers I see a map. This is true, but even getting better at half-assing things is a good thing XD

Pffft nooo, drawing is a habit. Gotta get your fix from somewhere XD

Well, if it's another YLH, it'll be anyone that wants to have their kids put into specific areas :'D There'll have to be some description of their surrounding areas though for a more accurate map :') Aww she's not that big XD About GSD size :'D That's about as big as she'll get, though <: Pfft X'D I don't need to get him sabres, but that is a tantalizing thought lol

That one? XD It hasn't even been a chain for that long!

You'll never find me, mwahahahaha!!  And... like two weeks later I still haven't applied. Whoops. Still gotta finish up Rayu and post her but now with this new event I kinda wanna do it and upgrade mah kids more before applying... hnnnnngh. That's a good idea, actually. I shoulda thought of that- though hopefully I can come up with something unique for my characters to potentially bring. I would really, truly, deeply appreciate at least one of my kids being chosen as part of your ylh... having some of my kids know your kids may be... vital to some of my future plans. If I go forward with them and if I get your blessing. Of course they do! Have you seen those things? Come the first day above fifty degrees in later winter and they immediately start putting out buds which instantly die the next day, but do they ever learn? Noooo, these things aren't bright but damn are they determined. They will put out those flowers as soon as possible even if it kills them! Which it does. Sometimes. Not that that stops them from doing the same thing next year. And they're absolutely indestructible! One in our front yard has lost about five huge branches and it's still chugging along just fine. I'm thinking of Mags being something like that- she will be your friend if it kills her, she's super hopeful and optimistic, and she's not too good at picking up on subtle hints. And I do, so much stuff to doooo hnnnnnnnnngh though I may have had a lot ideas since I vanished heeeee~ He issss good void I love this so much, he's a wonderful eeee~ And ha, I don't even consider that a giant canvas anymore because I'm usually working with 4000-5000 pixel canvases, 2000 is teeny to me XD Ah hey no don't apologize, I'm glad you used it! That's what it's there for but tbh I didn't expect to see anybody use it, so I'm really happy somebody did. Ooooooo, you have? *goes back and scrutinizes pictures* You have!! Eeee that makes me so happy Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas <333 yaaay good ...hrmph. Maybe.

Maybe you could do a stream? Just a thought?

You might do the map as a YLH? That sounds like an insane amount of work for you, especially if you'd be letting anybody and everybody because it would absolutely be everybody be part of the map. O.o And I guess she's not, but maybe it's just because she's still a loonling that she looks so huge? But I've been very carefully scrutinizing your loon height chart and... I'm a little freaked out. I thought Fish was way bigger than he is- but apparently Noctla is just barely shorter than him and Cae may well be taller if you include her antlers?? I thought he was the hugest I am shook Do it do iiiiiiiiiiiiiit

No idea why, but apparently a week and a half is an acceptable waiting period to no longer be spam...? Da is weird.

What if I do? eue Pffft it's cool I still don't have much of an idea on how to do the thing with so many loons LAUGHS. You should totally do the upgrading things c; I'm sure you could bend interesting aspects to your own design <3 Laughs it's become more Twine's decision and I'm pretty sure she's picking everyone that's applied (because everyone is bringing something special or smthg squishy like that) so uh... :') ALSO iM???? I wanna know these plans. You immediately have my blessing eoe

I have seen those things X'D there are several on campus, they're hard to miss lol. And one in my neighbor's backyard X'D Family Magnoliaceae, unlimited tepals and anthers :') And resilient as all hell. They're glorious lol. really? I had no idea X'D Laughs that's fair. We'll say that you kept it larger than some of your other pics lol. Pffft I'm sure that more than I have used it <3 And yes, of course I have X'D I pride myself in my details lol, I couldn't miss it <3 One day, I swear X'D tbh I am....fighting a mild addiction of playing Far Cry: PRIMAL rn. I love the time period :'))

Maybe lol. It'll probably depend on how well I can put different biomes together in a way that makes biological sense and looks cohesive. Also maps are...weird. I am deffos not a cartographer X'D Yeah though, I might make Fish bigger :'D I always picture them bigger in my head...perhaps I'll bring them up a bit eue shake not, smol shaker. They will do the tol

Shrugs I mean. That is a good length of time X'D
