My entries for the shallows part of the esk marine event! This time with Iso, Auraeum, and VaalbaraCreeps's Professor.

I have little poems for each entry as well:

Intro: Land and Sea

I bring a friend down to the shore feeling the pull of something more. We gaze upon a box, a coral, a stone, each of them quite far from home.

As we muse upon what we should do A familiar face emerges from the blue: "Iso? My friend, it's good to see you again. Who is that with you? Another friend?"

"Professor," I greet, and I would smile if I could, "Yes, this is Auraeum. A dear friend of mine," I assure. "A pleasure, Professor," Auraeum greets. "Were you too brought here, to where land meets sea?"

"It was not just me, then," Professor muses. "Perhaps the ocean has something to show us." "Then shall we go together?" I suggest. "It would be my pleasure," he answers, and so we begin our quest.

Chapter 1: Reef

The three of us dive into the sea taking the coral towards where it should be. Auraeum carries the coral, bearing it with their mind As Professor leads the way to a reef full of life.

We return the coral to the community from which it came and the ocean seems to murmur, welcome back, friend. But before we go further, something else catches my eye: An anchor, out of place among the algae where it lies.

"This does not belong here," Auraeum says, following my gaze. "Its home is in another place." We decide to take it with us; into Auraeum's grasp it goes As we go further into the ocean's flows.

Chapter 2: Shipwreck

We find a shipwreck, lost to sea and time I explore it, curious about what we would find. Professor is graceful in the water, scouring water-worn nooks, While I poke my head in all sorts of places to look.

"There," Auraeum says, directing our eyes to a place that seemed perfect to settle our prize. But before they could come near to place it there A cleaner shrimp emerged from thin air.

—Or water, perhaps, would be better to say.

Nonetheless, when I gently nudge it aside to make space, and Auraeum settles the anchor in place, Instead of fleeing, it clings to my fur. "Well," I say. "I seem to have a new passenger."

Chapter 3: Symbiosis

I had learned of cleaner shrimp in a different life; how fascinating they were, and such a delight. I ask if we should bring it to others of its kind, and Auraeum says, "Why not? Let us see what we find."

Professor speaks: "I have seen them before." And he says, "I know where to go." We follow again, an adventure in the sea And approach an undersea crag where the shrimp should be.

The shrimp are there, among the rocks, true— But what catches my eye is an eel that comes into view. My passenger seems excited, so I draw close; the shrimp leaps off, and down it floats

Into the waiting jaws of a predator but the one eating is not the eel, but the cleaner. It's amazing to see, this connection across creatures and I wonder if the ocean, today, was our teacher.

A spark alights in the waters, bright and beckons us to return to the above light. "Shall we?" Auraeum asks, and so we go with the shrimp's antennae waving goodbyes below.

And here are the rest of the prompts for the TWWM mini event, done in a much more traditional art style. I decided I wanted some crunchyness on my brush, and I think it made these look pretty satisfying for such simple pieces.

Poe is trying to take shelter from a sudden hail storm and Curse is protecting a kitty from an alligator.

(When I had already sketched these out I realized that pose-wise these almost turned into remakes of this piece from years ago.)

Her name is Lady. If you don't know her well you can call her The Lady, instead. Her enchanted crown makes people around her feel slightly bad that they are not her.
