I have been in fandoms for a while, so I wanted to do some OC art.
Here's my fruit OCs. Citrus is the sharp toothed guy with the eye brow piercing and Tangerine is the kid. Bluberri (Tangerine's sis) works at a joint where everyone causes chaos, but also does take care of things for the boss. Citrus is the bosses' best guy, he often knocks troublemakers out and doesn't kill (even though he's allowed to). He's served in prison because of his violent nature for over 10 years, was released for good behavior. He's tough and not a guy to talk to in friendly terms. Tangerine is 7 and 1/2 and is very kind. He often has Bluberri's friend, Dee Dee, as his baby sitter. He snuck into the joint with Bluberri without her knowing. That's all you need to know for now. Enjoy the drawing

Exotic As The Bloodleaf
Iresine or Bloodleaf plant making an exotic appearance in the conservatory. Photo credit: Jonathan Chua.
The ISO was capped at 400 for this shot as I wasn’t sure if the colours would still look good above that for this Sigma camera. As a result, I could only get a shutter speed of 1/250 second for a equivalent focal length of 300mm and this despite having underexposed by 1-1/3 stops. Fortunately, the lens stabilization and kit weight helped keep things sharp in this instance.

What Bloomed in the Darkgarden // By ehoney
Chapter 34: Bloodleaf
Elain Archeron stared into the dark gaze of her enemy with milky-white, all seeing eyes.
Far, far outnumbered by hundreds of soldiers staring back.
But Elain no longer trembled in the face of cruel things. For nature itself was an entity far crueler than anything in the world. A resilient, cunning, adaptive force- fiercer than the most gruesome of enemies.
She would claim no mastery over the earth’s gifts. Not now. Not ever. She was merely a faithful servant of that beauty, that horror, that indomitable will.
A gentle wind cradled her cheek. The spirit of the Heartwood empowering each step forward with an ageless whisper-
She who trembles is no more,
Who is she the Cauldron bore?

Day 57: Yiga in Lanayru, and Akkala
The tower I climbed in the Abandoned Lanayru Mine is a forge, and it's manned by a Steward. I think this is the first one I've seen in the Depths, and only the second I've seen outside the sky islands.
Another Steward asks me to go to the Central Abandoned Mine - if I do that and come back here, it'll give me something.
There's a Yiga building here with a journal.
They want to conquer the Depths, but they say they need to find every entrance to do so. The journal ends: "Glory to Master Kohga."
I hope that's just something they say. He fell into- oh. He fell into an apparently bottomless hole. Is he… is he here somewhere??
Surely not. But unease follows me as I gather the remains of zonaite in the mine.
I can't see any more lightroots from here, so I head back to the Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower, thinking to head to Tarrey Town - and spy Dinraal emerging from a chasm! I chase to catch up with him, but I don't have the right gear. I only just grab a shard of his spike and a claw before the heat of his mere proximity threatens my life.
I drop to the ground and land in the shadows of North Akkala Beach - right next to a shrine!
I spend the early morning scaling the cliff up to the Akkala Lab. Didn't Robbie say he needed something from here? I don't think I've spoken to him in over a month. Still, I should check it out. I've always loved the Lab.
I scale the outside first to enjoy the view from the top, but it's a grey and cloudy day. And… that's weird. There's a frog sitting in Robbie's sun lounger. And… it bears the mark of the yiga. I've got a bad feeling about this.
I look for further clues as I head back down the lab. There's boxes of bananas at the base of the telescope. And from the front, it's obvious - frogs and banana crates everywhere.
I summon the Sages, ready my gear, and knock.
It's a closer match than I'd like, but I dispatch the Yiga guards. Inside, there's only a fashionista - Konba. It sounds as though he's been forced to work against his will to make the Yiga's outfits. He gives me the Yiga armor he just finished. I suppose I could use it as a disguise, though I dislike the idea of wearing it at all. Konba points out I'd need the whole set before I could pass as a Yiga member anyway.
There's a Yiga journal here. They're interested in sourcing Zonai devices, as well as Zelda and myself. Even they haven't seen her. They say they're setting up traps to catch me, but I've only encountered the weird cucco prophecy scam, and that hardly seemed aimed at me. Don't pick up bananas on the road? I'd have hoped I would have spotted that one for a trap without the hint.
There's a map with Yiga hideouts on it, I think. Let's see…
Here, the Colosseum, somewhere north of Death Mountain and the old hideout in the Gerudo Highlands.
There's also a travel medallion prototype, which I should probably give to Robbie. Was that what he wanted from here?
For now, I head down the hill to the East Akkala Stable, and stop at the shrine on the way.
Penn's the first person I see at the stable. He mentions the god of horses is near here - I'd forgotten my dream about it! - and the suspicious lab, the mystery of which I think I've probably solved by clearing out the Yiga. But no news here of the Princess, so he's off! That was quick.
I speak to a few people at the stable. Aya is preoccupied with the monsters on North Akkala beach- I must have missed them, but she'd like me to deal with them, please. Rudi says Malanya's at Bloodleaf Lake, north of here. Rudi would like a picture of Octorok Lake when the water's high and it looks like an octorok. Maybe in the rain? Atin's newspaper says that YunoboCo is restoring Goron City again - that's good. Khini points me towards the horse god, and then goes back to selling buns. I buy and eat one of his Malanya buns, and I feel filled with stamina.
The korok at the back of the stable wants to go down the hill to meet its friend. I summon Peaches and hook up the wagon for transport. I can probably do this before bed.
I ignore the blood moon rising behind me as we gallop down the hill. Which means it comes upon me right as I'm fighting off two bokoblins in a cart.
When the Gloom clears, I reunite the koroks and take the knight's bow the bokoblins had. Then I take both the horses and carts back to the stables to bed.
