Inktober 2019 #6: Rinrin Boubou FlowerI Really Struggled A Lot Coming Up With The Color Scheme For This

Inktober 2019 #6: Rinrin Boubou Flower I really struggled a lot coming up with the color scheme for this flower. Apparently I never made notes for what colors it was supposed to be in the original drawings! I have a feeling the main flower was supposed to be yellow, but it looked too bland with all three flowers the same color. That and I couldn’t seem to get it to look right :/ It was too overblown. I managed to tamp it down a little for this, but yeah. Maybe I should have tried yellow with white mini blossoms? Anyways...

The Rinrin Boubou is considered a rather clumsy flower. it oozes honey from the centers of its dangling flowers during its fruiting season, leading some to believe that this substance is somehow the materials for fruits that didn't quite form. There may be some truth to this theory, as the substance, when cooked, forms a substance like sweet scrambled eggs. Uncooked however, the substance is beloved as a sweetener for tea, and during fruiting season, cups of tea can often be seen placed below the oozing flowers to capture the honey for sweetening.

Inktober 2019 #14: Sweetpetal Flyona Cultivated in Sky Buddy World for its namesake petals. They are a common sweetener there popular in tea. They are exported for the annual Tea Festival, held primarily in central Wing Alayna. The petals melt easily into tea, and are thus very convenient, especially for an often-exported item.

Inktober 2019 - Yura Aquabulla

a.k.a. Yura Waterbubble Plants, Yurayura Aquabulla

Found particularly in the Great Buddy Lake and River, though they can also be found in the lesser lakes and rivers of Laykia Layna.

Yura Aquabullas are popular commodities among Buddys. They make for quick, portable sources of water, and when stored with caution, can last a long time.

Sheroominas Favored by Fashion Buddys to help them produce smoother, finer thread. It acts as a sort of a reset to counter-balance the effects of previously consumed thread modifiers like Flufftuffs.

Inktober 2019 #1 - Spotil

A bit of a throwback to my Inktober 2014 adventures. 

The month of October is called Spotilan on the JI Planet, named for the staple fruit of the Amicans. The Spotil has a consistency, texture and flavor somewhere in the range between an apple and a potato. Perhaps that sounds gross, but the Amicans never tire of it.

Inktober 2019 #17: Flarowan Pikana A blossom that prefers warm summer nights. It stores up energy in the day and releases it at night in a brilliant display. They are beloved sights during the Tea Festival, particularly on drier nights. On days when it rains it will not open much at night, and give off little energy. The petals are actually sweeter when giving off energy, so they are preferred prepared and served quickly. The petals will continue to glow after they are plucked, but only for three hours. That is why a quick preparation and serving are optimal for sweeter teas.
