Ameebs 10 year redraw 2024 vs 2014.

The character himself is about 18 years old though (middle school). Somehow the name Ameba stuck so I just call him Ame now. Or Ameebs. I have done much research into Chinese names for him, but nothing has stuck. The greek root word amoibē means 'a change,' named for his more unsteady physical form.

#as always drawing plant arms is so so fun #my art #my ocs #art redraw #illustration #i have considered giving the plants names that are numbers but that also hasn't stuck #it's hard because they're man made creations.. so their name would be either committee picked or picked by an invested researcher #i just wound up going with curtains isntead of whatever was the background of the older pic #kung fu microbe -> kung fu plant. i do miss him having a nucleolus still sometimes #i heard somewhere that in china you can commission a professional namer to help come up with baby names with meanings #and i can believe it... because for many of my character names I go by root words and references
