Melon frenzy (species wip + art dump)

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 Puffer. She's complicated... She'll also get a post-corruption form soon

This darling still needs a name. Og design sketch was made by Almond milk

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
