I remember catching these guys while playing Animal Crossing. Like all the fish in the game they are a real species, very handsome too. My new drawing is available… https://theweeowlart.etsy.com/listing/1695833074

You get a Barred Knifejaw

Oplegnathus fasciatus

ah... your secret technique... in normal circumstances, such a bullet would have no effect on me, but you certainly knew that, my rival... and so, cleverly, you accelerated it with a gun

Creature 15

Striped beakfish

Native to the north western Pacific Ocean, these fish eat mostly crabs and other hard shelled creatures. The beak-like mouth is for crunching through their prey’s tough shells.

Sorry Ariel, I'm selling this fucker to Nook for 5,000 bells.

cannot truly describe the feeling that just came over me upon seeing this but the best estimation is a simultaneous need to laugh hysterically and also fucking die

(6/6) Mikaze Ai's Private Story [Utapri Live Emotion]

Ch 1: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 6 with Ai)

-Shining Agency's Hallway- Ai: Oh… you, good timing. Would you look at this. Haruka: Mikaze-senpai, hello. …Is that a schedule? Ai: Yeah, are you free on this day? I was thinking that I'd like to go to an aquarium together with you. Haruka: Aquarium…? Ai: That's right. Can you? Though if you have plan we can just reschedule on another day. Haruka: Oh no, that's okay. It's just, I was wondering why aquarium all of a sudden. Ai: Oh, I haven't explained it properly huh. Just now I got two tickets to an aquarium from someone at work. Ai: We're probably going to be involved again in the future, so I thought it'd be good if I go and use it to mantain a good relationship with them. Haruka: (So that's what it is… But still, is it really okay to go together with me…?) Ai: …It's perfectly okay for you to go with me. What were you thinking just now were all over your face y'know. Haruka: Ehh!? Ai: The way you didn't even realize it yourself is also quite interesting. As expected, you're the perfect person for my observation. Ai: My hobby is observing people after all. Plus while we're in aquarium, I can also study sea creatures at the same time. Ai: That means, there's no one much more suitable other than you. Well then, I'm looking forward on that day. Haruka: O-okay! Likewise, I'm in your care…!

Ch 2: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 11 with Ai)

-Aquarium- Haruka: Wow…there are so many cute fish swimming around. Ai: This one is barred knifejaw. That one is Suzuki*. It's interesting that the aquarium itself was made into a diorama. - Ai: …Good, we're done by 5 minutes. Looks like things are going well just as planned. Let's go check out the next tank. Haruka: Okay, you really went and made such a detailed plan are you, Senpai. Ai: Of course. Time is limited after all so we have to be as efficient as we can. Ai: I've also factored in when we're going to take a break, but if you ever feel tired tell me quickly okay. I'll have to adjust the schedule after all. Haruka: Thank you for your consideration… Ah, Mikaze-senpai, look! (choices) <An otter, how cute!> Haruka: An otter, look how cute they are! Ai: Small-clawed otters to be exact. Although they might look like that they can be quite fierce. They have strong teeth and can chew through shellfish and crustaceans. Ai: Oh, looks like they're going to feed them. The angle right there is quite bad and you might not see them clearly so why don't you come closer here. <That one is a seal, right?> Haruka: That one is a seal, right? Fufu, look at how elegant they swim. Ai: Unfortunately you're wrong. Although they both belong in the same taxonomical suborder of pinnipeds and look pretty similar, that one is a sea lion. Ai: Look, unlike seal that one had a flappy ears… wait. If you keep bowing your head down like that you're going to bump into the glass y'know. (back to story) Haruka: (Wah, Mikaze-senpai suddenly put his hand on my shoulder…) Ai: Your body temperature suddenly rising up. Your cheeks also look flushed. What's wrong? Haruka: Eh!? N-no, it's nothing. Ai: You can't fool my eyes. I told you before that I'm also going to be observing you, didn't I? Ai: Right now I want to know how your feelings and what exactly are you thinking right now.

*: I was wondering what to call this one, but I'm just going for the way they call them in JP. Its basically Japanese sea bass fish.

Ch 3: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 21 with Ai)

-Aquarium- Ai: Can you tell me properly. What exactly is the reason your temperature suddenly rising up? Haruka: A-Anyway… Mikaze-senpai, you're all knowledgeable when it comes to sea creatures aren't you! Ai: …Isn't it normal to do a background research first for your study? I've already gathered all of the data of the creatures here. Ai: The ones in the tank over there are a moon jellyfish, japanese sea nettle, and the one with a blue color was called color jellyfish. Haruka: Wow, their colors are all beautiful… Ai: Other than blue, there are also other color jellyfish with different colors too, such as red, white, and even green. They tends to change their body colors depending on their environment. Ai: …They're just like you, whose expressions tends to change all the time. You're so flustered just a while ago, and yet now you're smiling. Haruka: I'm pretty restless, huh… it's so embarrassing. Ai: Look, it changed once again. As expected you are really worth to analyze. Ai: Come on, let's go to the next one. I'll be going to observing another reaction of yours closely when we see another tank. - Haruka: …Looks like the next one is the exit. Thank you for inviting me out, I had a lot of fun today! Ai: Mission accomplished, and it also perfectly matched with the schedule too. But, I wonder why, somehow I feel a bit unsatisfied. Ai: I want you to go out with me once again, is that okay? When I'm with you, it feels like I can collect all kinds of interesting data. Haruka: If I could be of help, then gladly. Ai: Thank you. I'll make sure to gather all of your information perfectly next time.

Ch 4: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 31 with Ai)

-Ai's Room- Ai: Welcome. You can come inside. Haruka: Thank you. Pardon my intrusion. Ai: It may not be that necessary, but I'll explain it to you just in case. This is actually my workplace. I guess you could say it can also be my home too. Ai: Whenever I receive a request to provide a song, I do everything here all by myself, from composition to arrangement. Ai: That one is a control room, while over there is a recording booth. I've also prepared a meeting place on that corner. Ai: I think I have all the facilities and equipment that I need here for music production. Haruka: Everything here are all so authentic…! Ai: Having things that's easy to use will increase work efficiency after all. For example, that computer you're looking at right now. Ai: The normal one was quite inconvenient to me, so I use a supercomputer with an OS that I developed by myself. Haruka: (Not only just singing and writing song, he's also good with technology… As expected, Mikaze-senpai is really amazing.) - Ai: I think that's pretty much it. I hope it can be of help for your work. Haruka: Yes, I learned so much from it! Ai: Well, I'm glad to hear that. Now then, can you sit over here. We're going to start our work now. Haruka: Eh, what work? Ai: What's with that look on your face. Since you came all the way here, you could at the very least help me out.

Ch 5: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 41 with Ai)

-Ai's Room- Ai: Let's organize the data first. Can you put all of the music that's similar to this BGM to a reference folder? I'd like to use it on my next job. Haruka: I-I got it. Um… this one, right. And then, this one too…? Ai: Can you work with your hands rather than with your mouth? At this rate, you'll never get it done. Haruka: O-okay…! - Ai: Looks like we're done. Good work. Here's a coffee. Haruka: Thank you so much. Wow… it smells so good. Ai: Sugar and milk are self-service. You could at least add that by yourself. Haruka: Yes, thank you! Well then, time to drink. (choices) <It has a gentle taste...> Haruka: It has a very gentle taste… Ai: Hmm, I'm glad you enjoy that. But… a gentle taste, huh. Ai: Even though it was quite an abstract comment, why do somehow it actually sounds delicious just now. <I feel cheered up now!> Haruka: It's as if my tired mind and body seems to be delighted by it. I feel somewhat cheered up now! Ai: You're exaggerating a lot. A cup of coffee doesn't have that much of a recovery effect y'know. Ai: But from the looks of it, it might be true in a way. Strangely enough, I could also tell that it was really delicious just by your comment. Ai: Sometimes you tends to say things that are beyond my expectation. But well, I guess it might be helpful as a reference on how to express how you feels. (back to story) Ai: The choice of words can change how a song resonates within someone's heart, and it can also broaden the scope of the lyrics too. I guess there's no harm in knowing more about it. Haruka: Mikaze-senpai really love music huh. Ai: Well, I guess you could say that. My dream is to deliver music to as many people as possible after all.

Ch 6: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 51 with Ai)

-Ai's Room- Ai: When I first started as an idol, I thought it's fine if I just let people listen to my song. Ai: I guess you could call it as a sense of duty. Because I thought that singing was the only thing that I have to do. Haruka: Mikaze-senpai… Ai: But right now I can't be satisfied with just that. I want to put all of my feelings into the lyrics and my voice, and I hope that it would reach to the hearts of the people who listen to them. Ai: To me, music is what made me connected with everyone. I want to make a lot of people smile just with my song. Haruka: …I feel the same way too. Haruka: I want everyone who listen to my song to smile. That's what came to my mind while I write a song. Ai: Are you saying that we're actually similar? How mysterious, somehow that words made me happy. Haruka: Me too! Thank you for letting me hear your story. Haruka: I feel like I learned something important from Mikaze-senpai's sincere passion for music. Ai: It's not like I told you that to teach you. Though not that I mind about it. Ai: When I'm with you, I find myself experiencing things that I didn't expect to happen.. …Looks like I need to find out the cause of it. Ai: I'll be calling you to my work once again, so will you come with me to verify it? Haruka: If you're okay with me, then it'd be my pleasure. Seeing Mikaze-senpai, I feel like I want to learn more too. Ai: I'm glad we're both mutually benefit from it. I guess it's not a bad idea to think about what we should do next.

return of the whatever the fuck this is, combining mermay with rarepair week and also drawing a continuation to old mermaid zine art

[ID: an underwater scene featuring sea creature versions of xue yang, wen chao and jiang cheng. they are on the sea floor, converging around a large rock. xue yang is happily showing off an iridescent makeshift blade to a dazzled wen chao and unimpressed jiang cheng, who are on the other side of the rock and a bit tangled up. xue yang's mermaid tail is based mostly off a barred knifejaw, whereas jiang cheng's belongs to a purple eel. wen chao is a red squid-like creature with a squid for a hat, complete with dorky eyes. one of his tendrils is reaching out to xue yang. a few sea critters like jellyfish swim around them, and a little crab and sea star rest on the sand. the foreground has swaying algae. bubbles rise around the three as sunlight streams down through the water. /end ID]

TELL ME ABOUT THE OCS NEEEEEEOOOOWW!!!!!!!!

I've got a whole oc splatband!! half of them dont have names yet, and there's no official band name either...but i do have their personalities down pretty well :D

The barred knifejaw on the left is named Kris and he's very sweet, but he's often assumed to be a crook or just a jerk based on appearance. He's the band's guitarist.

The long spined urchin is the real jerk. they'll call you slurs and dox you on twitter. Also like the urchins in game you can order gear from them and such. They are the band's drummer.

The viperfish in the middle is the band's outgoing singer!! She's very invested in keeping the heavy rock vibes in the crew's music, and she's a certified H2Whoa HATER.

The Inkling is much shyer than the rest of the group, often relying on the rest to take most of the spotlight. She greatly enjoys heavy metal despite playing the synth.

Lastly is Anko the anglerfish. She's very bubbly and romantic, and originally a denizen of the deep! She has poor luck with men and can't figure out why. Anko is the band's bassist.

I never did end up catching a red dragonfly btw, I have moved on to the next month now.

I did however catch a coelacanth and achieve perfect town status. So that's at least something.

I've been trying to catch a red dragonfly in my wild world town for four hours now

It's the only bug i still need to catch in the current month

I think this karma for that one time I was at a friend's house in 3rd or 4th grade and we were playing wild world together. She saw a red dragonfly and said "Don't catch that, I still need that one for the museum!" And like the asshole that i was as a kid, I caught it.

The barred knifejaw, also called the striped beakfish, is a lovely fish with a distinctive striped pattern. It is reportedly also a very curious fish in that it has been known to approach swimmers to greet them. My drawing of them is available here… https://theweeowlart.etsy.com/listing/1695833074

Happy birthday to my two little trouble makers!!

Taking a trip backwards in time to give these two "Birthday Boy" cards since I skipped over this design for their first birthday celebration.

Birthday boy card asset from @thoselethalarts. I traced the fish from a stock image and stylized it to be a pen sketch. The other surrounding images are stock.

More details/ramblings under the cut.

I just wanted to ramble about choices I made for these drawings without it cluttering up the main post lol. I had a lot of fun drawing these two and enjoyed the challenge trying to somewhat mimic the Twst style. I took a lot of notes and studied all of the Birthday Boy cards before getting started to make sure the ones I would draw felt authentic-ish. I noticed in Jade and Floyd's designs, the colors of their rosettes were inverted, and I figured that would work out well for Jett and Micah since their hair colors are inverted, as well.

Jett- He has a geode lapel pin to represent his love of stones/rocks since he collects them as a hobby. The crab to the upper left represents his favorite food; the rocks to the lower left again represent his intrigue with them, and the striped beakfish/barred knifejaw to the lower right represents the fish he resembles in his mermaid form. I wanted to used a drawing to resemble Jett's Unique Magic that allows him to get away with steal (almost) anything, but I couldn't really find any stock images I liked that would represent that well.

Micah- Her lapel pin isn't visible because of her hair, but it would have been a cassette tape to represent her love of music, especially getting to listen to them on cassettes. As with Jett, the striped beakfish/barred knifejaw to the upper left represents the fish she resembles in her mermaid form; the stack of pancakes in the lower left represent her favorite food; and the hand with the puppet represents her talent of puppetry. The puppet is also meant to subtly symbolize her tendency to lie; Pinocchio's nose is sometimes used to symbolize lies, but I didn't want to fully reference Pinocchio since she's not particularly inspired by that Disney franchise. So, I settled on using puppetry in general to symbolize her lying nature. And since Micah's Unique Magic allows her to convince others that her lies are the truth, the puppet is also a bit of a nod to her UM. I had considered using a stock sketch of a cassette tape instead to represent her love of music, but I couldn't find one that I really liked and wanted to use.
