Hey, I'm looking for a freshwater Bitty that could accompany a healing moon-siren pup.

Her name is Echo, she's playful and curious about everything. She can be a bit hyper and loud, a little hard to keep up with. Her skin and her eyes and such glow bright, vibrant colors that reflect her mood, and she collects shiny objects in her lake, which can get rather cold, especially this time of year.

I'm looking more for personality that would go well with her own personality and her abilities and environment rather than specific morphs or anything, more than one is acceptable if necessary.

It might even be beneficial for her to have multiple. Echo doesn't have many friends right now, aside from one bashful lilypad puddle slime she's named lily.

You'll probably make better judgement on this than I would.

Hello! I have a few bitties here today that I think will do well with your lil siren pup!

-

First we have a Splenden!(LustTale Sans Betta fish), they are of course fresh water and the one here today goes by Carlos! He's ace and either gray or aro(he hasn’t found anyone yet) and she goes by he/she/they pronouns as well as some neo pronouse sometimes, xe mostly likes confusing others with their pronouns but she never lets it get out of hand! She is very motherly/fatherly and loves to help care for younger bitties when he can! They can swim pretty fast and is energetic enough to be able to keep up with your lil pup! She has the nightlight morph and some parts of his pattern glow softly in the dark and they're a mini, at 5 inches waist up and 11 inches total!

We also have an Ivory(UnderTale Papyrus Koi) bitty here today! She goes by she/her pronouns and currently goes by Ivy, she is very caring and just as energetic as ever! Koi bitties are on the larger size of mer bitties so keep that in mind! Though she is a mini shes still 4 feet total, and 9 inches from the waist up! She loves caring for bitties no matter their age and will basically adopt any bitty that lets her even if they're the one that’s older!

And we also have a Puddle(swap sans spino)! While they arent a mer they still love to swim and can stay underwater for awhile! The Puddle here today goes by Danny and goes by he/they pronouns! He's full of energy and on the smaller side, be's built more like a paleo-accurate spinosaurus! He's 8 inches tall at the shoulder and he usually walks on all fours(hence the size at the shoulder!) he love swimming and would be a good friend for your pup! Though not a good caretaker, he'd try his best but he's on the younger side too(barely a young adult, he was a teen just a few months ago), he doesn't have any morphs but is a pastel blue with white markings!

here's what a paleo-accurate spino looks like:

COLEOCTOBER DAY 4

The Giraffe Weevil, Trachelophorus giraffa

They spend the majority of their lives in the trees of Madagascar, and males use their funny long necks for everything from combat to attracting mates. The males will dance and wave their long necks to females, who will then evaluate if they are a worthy mate.

For the first day of the 30 Days of Weevils challenge started by @the-named-anon, I illustrated the spectacular Giraffe Weevil (Trachelophorus giraffa)!

With such a long neck, it's not hard to see why this weevil earned its namesake! Males typically have necks that are over twice the length of their female counterparts. Like others of their family (Attelabidae), their long neck is thought to assist in building nests or fighting rivals. This tiny species is endemic to Madagascar, with its conservation status listed as Near Threatened.

I call this piece “Girl’s Night”

I had been learning Blender for about a month when I made this, and really wanted to do something inspired by Louie Zong’s 3d illustrations because they are so wonderful, and this is what I came up with!

Originally there was going to be a sticker on the candle that said it was campfire scented, but it didn’t fit the vibe, so I deleted it.

I COMPLETELY FORGOT I DREW THIS

It's not much, but I was able to get SOMETHING out finally. It's been so long since I've drawn.

Practicing getting basic shapes down fast and doing quick doodles.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Aptly named, the New Zealand giraffe weevil is the longest beetle in Aotearoa. Males can reach a length of 90 mm (3.5 in), half of which is their elongated snout. These extraordinary appendages are used to battle for access to females, which have much shorter snouts.

Scrapped concepts below the read more

I think I might of deleted some- but if you cant tell I started with a pretty bad reference of the weevils face lol. Once I fixed that the design came together much fasted- always use Multiple References ough
