About a month ago, I hosted a poll regarding my summer species projects. With only a few votes more, elbaites won over onyxes. I'm honestly still surprised by the large number of people who voted back then
Anyway, all the text has been written (only waiting for a proofreader) and art is coming along pretty well too! In fact, I have enough art content it's worth posting, so that's what I'm doing today
Firstly, I have some fully rendered designs

This is Thorn. She's emo and I love her dearly

This is a random sketch design I made while practicing drawing chubby post-corrupted fellas. It's criminally adorable. Probably worth putting into an adopt or something

Now have some wiki sneak peeks!

Here are some WIP animations showcasing elbaite abilities. I'm not an animator, but I'm quite proud how the explosion looks

And that's all! The species will definitely be posted before the summer ends. If I remain motivated, it might be in the next week or two

This is so cool !!! I love that you added animation
Thank you, glad to hear that!!!
I sometimes find it hard to visualize certain descriptions from words only, hence why I'm putting a lot of effort into avoiding this problem in my work
Plus, I think it makes the species a bit more memorable
The genuinely defective ones struggling to exist at all:
LMAO, so true!!
Luckily most of them don't suffer from all the defects in existence
