These are the only two commissions I've gotten so far, which I got at a convention, I really hope I get more some day, or maybe even get a plush of one of them (I do have an OC that's based on a plush I have, but I don't think that counts)
A commission by BethiekArt featuring Slithguise, my snakeperson OC, and Commantha, my ant OC A commission by BethiekArt featuring Gillo (my Kobold OC) and Melonvine (my Watermelon/Leshy OC)

What do you mean I didn't post my first Artfight attack here yet?

Anyways...yeah, Here's my first attack, Melonvine (my character) watching Buff Lemon (made by Cr0naZArtZ) flex their muscles.

Tomodachi life is funny, I've been streaming it for who-knows-how-long, hoping to get another marriage on stream but getting nothing, but the moment I go to a friend's house and showed them this game is when my other two couples decide they want to propose.

#tomodachilife #wedding
Joltweb and Scewpz getting married, with Xurkitree, Fluffy the plush dragon, my Sliggoo sona and Lampunk sona, Doe the Leavanny, and Slithguise the snakeperson in the audience Commantha and Slithguise's wedding, with Melonvine the Watermelon Leshy, Gillo the aquatic Kobold, my Sliggoo sona, Klinker the Trubbish, M-10 the Iron Thorns, and Caterbuggo the alien insectoid in the audience

Considering Melonvine lives in a greenhouse, yes, as for his favorite plant, he has more of a connection to other fruit plants, but usually likes any kind of plant

#dailyart 158: Last night on Total Uvs Nuur island, Sapphira found a watermelon prop (it's actual name was Melonvine decoy) and thought it was the most interesting thing she ever saw

Sapphira looking at a watermelon in amazement as she says "Wow, I've never seen anything like this before"

#dailyart 157: more Tomodachi life shenanigans, when Commantha went to confess her love to Slithguise, Melonvine tried to do the same, despite not knowing the snakeperson that well, (which means it was pretty obvious who Slithguise chose)

#tomodachilife #watermelon #ant #ocart
Melonvine and Commantha in my attempt at drawing the Tomoria restaurant from Tomodachi life, with the two of them trying to confess their love to Slithguise, Melonvine confidantly saying "I'm the one truly in love with Slithguise" while Commantha gives him a glare while saying "you don't even know him that well"

#dailyart 142: it's been a while since I drew Pinevine and Splats, so why not do so today? with Melonvine too (and Gillo in the background) because why not?

#fruit #leshy #sentientplant #kobold
Melonvine hanging out with his cousins Pinevine and Splats, with Gillo watching them in the background, surprised (and excited) that he gets to meet more of his mentor's family

#dailyart 138: A continuation of yesterday's art piece, now with a background, And yes, I did hide details for almost all of my other OCs in the background, try to find all 15! or just tell me the ones you find (some are easier to spot than others)

#sliggoo #livingobject #trubbish #ocart
A scenery drawing based on my Tomodachi life island, with my Sliggoo sona, Minifridge, and Klinker sitting at a bench in the middle of the image, their houses and a fountain in the background, and many details of my OCs hidden around (Cheat sheet for those who want to see them all ONLY LOOK IF YOU GIVE UP ON FINDING THEM ALL): 1: A Watermelon in front of my house to represent Melonvine 2: A purple and green electric lamp in between Minifridge and Klinker's house to represent M-10 3: Markings on Klinker's roof that looks like 3'orr 4: A cloud in the sky looking a lot like Fluffy's head 5: A yellow web on the right of Klinker's house that looks to be one that Joltweb would make 6: A soda bottle floating in the sea looking a lot like Fizzer 7: A sand drawing of Caterbuggo's face 8: A message on the bench saying "Slithguise was here" 9: The head of the fountain is shaped like Meline 10: One of the books Klinker is sitting on is gray and cyan like Page 11: A rubber balloon that looks a lot like Mr. Squirk floating in the sea 12: Gillo's cloak draped on the fountain 13 and 14: a mushroom and radish underneath the fountain to represent Portabella and Radish 15: Commantha staring at said mushroom and radish

Gillo would probably bring his Mentor and friend Melonvine, something to take notes on the plants that grow there (assuming the island has enough plants on it) and a backpack if he finds anything he wants to take home

#dailyart 103: not really up for art today, so I just drew something simple, Melonvine holding up squares (what those squares are? that's up for your interpretation)

I'll try not to bring Gillo with us, last time I took him to an aquarium...he wanted to get too close with the fish and dove into one of the tanks
Gillo staring at an offscreen fishtank, with Melonvine keeping him on a leash so the Kobold doesn't do anything stupid...again...

At long last, I have finally reached Day 100 of my Daily art! it's kind of surprising that I got this far (even if most of my daily art journey isn't on this site, but I promise I'll post any future daily art drawing here) but here's to hopefully improving my art further #OCart #Dailyart
My OCs (and two Sonas) spelling out "DAILY ART 100!" which OC is which letter/number are as follow: D: My Lampunk sona A: Klinker (Trubbish OC) I: Minifridge (OSC OC) L: Caterbuggo (Alien insectoid OC) Y: 'Mreorr (Glitch pokemon OC) A: Slithguise (Snake OC) R: Mr. Squirk (pooltoy OC) T: Fizzer (soda bottle OC) 1: Sliggoo sona 0: Scewpz (ice cream slime OC) 0: Melonvine (Watermelon OC) !: Page and Libra (EWOW Book OC and Chingling OC respectively)

While Melonvine's sees his relationship with Gillo as mentor/pupil, the watermelon Leshy can't help but feel that sometimes Gillo acts more like a pet than a pupil #OCart #Kobold #Watermelon #leshy
Gillo being enamored by something offscreen, with text above him saying "Saw a cool looking fish at the aquarium and really wants to dive into it's fish tank to get a closer look" meanwhile Melonvine is tugging on Gillo's leash, with text above him saying "Does not want both of them getting kicked out again"

So I was drawing what Melonvine would look like in Starfinder, but as I was drawing I started to think "What if I gave him an Endor rebel helmet?" so I guess this could double as Melonvine in Starfinder and Melonvine in Star Wars (even though I've already drawn the latter before) #OCart
Melonvine if he was in Starfinder, (or in Star Wars because of the helmet) he looks older than how he was in Pathfinder and has a Zero Pistol in his hand (I didn't know what it looked like so I just drew what I thought it would look like) along with (my attempt at) an Endor Rebel helmet from Star Wars (with his name in Aurebesh written on it)

Since I drew Melonvine in a Halloween costume, it only made sense to draw Gillo in a Halloween costume too (and I didn't know whether to draw Gillo with a fishtail or normal Kobold legs, so I just drew both)
Gillo, an aquatic Kobold, Dressed up as a Pirate, wearing a grey vest and brown pants as well as a Pirate hat and holding a cutlass. There's also text underneath him saying "Happy Halloween!" Alt version of the first image where Gillo has a fish tail instead of having legs

"Gillo, I know I agreed to dress up for Halloween, but out of everything you could have dressed me up as, why did it have to be a Pumpkin? why couldn't I have been something cooler, like a Mummy?"
(Something quick I wanted to draw for Halloween)
Melonvine, a Watermelon Leshy, looking embarrassed after he had been painted to look like a pumpkin, complete with a fake pumpkin stem on top of his head. Below him is text saying "Happy Halloween!"

After playing modded Peak last night, I found that one of the mods added Watermelons to the game, so that inspired me to draw my Kobold, Gillo climbing a mountain with Melonvine in his bag.

Here's Melonvine if he was ever evil in a Sci-fi/Star Wars setting, aka Darth Thorn

When Melonvine asked me if I wanted to "spend some time in nature" with him, I didn't think he also meant making me become part of the nature, at least I kept my purple and grey coloring so no one confuses me for a normal watermelon.

Might as well throw in some of my OCs (I also have Alt text with what their names are)
Melonvine the Leshy (Basically a sentient watermelon) Gillo the underwater Kobold M-10 the Iron Thorns 'Mreorr the 'M (can shapeshift into a Clefairy or Kangaskhan whenever they want, hence why they are shown)

Martin tries to art 5: Gillo

Gillo comes from an Undine community, letting him live both underwater and on land (his fish tail can turn into Kobold legs in case you were wondering) and as you can tell by the pattern on his cloak, while other Kobolds serve under dragons, Gillo serves under Melonvine
