First drafts for Bee!Kagami and Turtle!Luka

You have no idea how hard the Bee!Kagami was to design… I’m still not 100% satisfied with it.

I thought it would be funny if Kagami’s bee hero name was a real Japanese name just like Ryuko is. Hachimitsu means honey bee so it was perfect.

Turtle!Luka (or Terrapin as I decided to call him) was actually a surprisingly easy design. I’ll probably just tweak a couple of things here and there.

More reptile studies! They're such different shapes to birds and mammals-the head and scales are the main focus though. Good basis for dragons and other creatures

I'm at my folks' place in MO, and did some yardwork for them. The little eastern garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis) needed to be safely relocated to the woods in back of the house, and made sure to musk me thoroughly to voice their displeasure. The common box turtle (Terrapene carolina, maybe T.c. triunguis?) was taking a sunbath on top of the brush pile and was also gently moved nearby to avoid being buried in branch trimmings and weeds. It was nice to see these longtime friends while working.

Terrapins in Peckham rye park.. by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: The most common terrapin in the UK is the red-eared terrapin,Terrapins lie somewhere between turtles and tortoises. They happily live in water but also like to bask in the sun. Like turtles, they are omnivores.
