I really want to see you draw shellington with the Vegimals aka his kids and everyone's first reactions to the Vegimals!

Note: Peso isn’t here because this all takes place before he joined

When the Vegimals first hatched, Shellington was astonished by these fascinating creatures.

And then reality set in

How was he going to tell the rest of the crew?

On top of this now he had to take care of these little guys. Give them names, feed them, ect.

Welcome to parenthood Shellington

He was nervous about the crew getting scared, or worse wanting the Vegimals to be released back into the ocean, so he kept his care for them a secret. (Although he wasn’t particularly subtle)

Soon Captain Barnacles noticed how sluggish and overworked Shellington had become and decided to check on him, only to be met with a small little creature thrusted into his arms by Shellington.

The lab was in total chaos and Shellington wasn’t looking too well.

Even with a very brief explanation from Shellington, the Captain could see how exhausted he was. And the Vegimals didn’t seem dangerous, just a bit of a handful.

So he made the decision to brief in the other Octonauts.

They were all shocked by the Vegimals, and had so many questions.

But Captain Barnacles made it very clear the main priority was to help Shellington. Luckily, Inkling found a few baby books in his big library.

They all joined Shellington in the lab bringing fish biscuit formula, blankets, Tweak had made little beds, Inkling brought a few books for Shellington, and they all stayed with him to help out with the Vegimals.

Shellington was very touched by his crew’s compassion, so much so he fell asleep.

The captain didn’t mind though, and they all kept watch over their new crew members while Shellington got some well overdue rest.

And by the time Peso joined, they Vegimals were very much a part of the crew, and he was briefed in about them and to not be startled by them.

A baby Tunip redraw because I'm his #1 fan

ME WHEN BABY TUNIP

unironically, I feel like if you need a blueprint for how to form a good group dynamic for a long form show, look no further than Octonauts.

like genuinely, they do so much right. The characters are consistent but not flat, every character has some kind of individual dynamic with one another, some are more pronounced than others but they’re all there, no character is fully dependent on another to be fully fleshed out, they’re all competent adults who are just genuinely friends who help each other out when needed and work incredibly well together within their given niches in the team. I dream to one day create a main group of characters with as much effortless synergy with each other as the octonauts

Shellington being a sweetie

[ajaxbleachishere]

He’s a mom can’t convince me otherwise

[mooshie-blue]

FINISHED!!! I like the 6 Character things where they interact with eachother, also no one requested tracker or Tunip but I wanted to add them in anyway. (I spelt Paani wrong I’m sorry)

Also I wanted to be a bit fair and simply doodle the extra characters that were requested:

They’re looking for something :0

[abipork2-0]

sometimes I just miss them

Octonauts Headcanons because they consume my brain (sleep edition)

Shellington cannot sleep if he isn't holding something, usually a plush toy or his own paw.

Dashi takes a while to get comfortable, tossing and turning for up to an hour.

Captain Barnacles has a special cooling blanket because polar bear.

The vegimals will routinely sleep in one big pile of the greenhouse floor for no apparent reason.

When stressed, Peso will make a nest out of blankets and pillows to sleep in.

Kwazii will knead his pillow before he goes to bed.

Tweak is a very active sleeper. She's a sleep-talker and -walker.

Inkling will occasionally fall asleep in the library. His little ear things will also twitch if you touch them.
