tarballs

[Long Description: Two little nature spirits tidepooling on the coast of Pimu, or Santa Catalina Island. Both of the spirits are guinea pig-shaped, with big, round haunches and stubby little legs. One prefers to stay dry, and perches on a schist outcrop with his feet tucked under him. He looks reproachfully at the other, who floats like a buoy in the tidepool. A dancing wisp draws his attention to some natural tarballs that have swept in with the tide, and he kneads them in his paws with great interest.]

Nendo loves sharing the shore, but he’s a little overwhelmed by all the attention it’s getting today. He goes to find Dango, who—sure enough— has found the only secluded corner left on the island. Together, they come across something that is not quite of the earth or any one of its inhabitants, but rather belongs to them all… Tarballs!

A piece of event art for Those Who Went Missing’s Marine Biome Event. This one is for the Ebb and Flow – Introduction prompt.

Needed Logo te pate to vault this to completion 😤 Don't have the capacity to do a full run of this event, but wanted to make an effort at least.
