Decided to enter cuz I thought this lil critter was a cool design! Apologies for the watermark, I tried to make it non-disruptive, but I also really don't want my art stolen for Scratch's AI. Below is their bio, a lil backstory, some rambling about the design and such, and some further comments about each drawing (there are 4) Name - Tobiko Gender - Agender Pronouns - He/They/It Likes - Sushi, music, pretty lights, flying Dislikes - Meat, hot/dry environments, dinner rush, humans Lore(?): Tobiko exists in a world where both humans and sentient anthropomorphic animalistic creatures exist, the latter of which being a minority. These creatures often experience ostracization or even discrimination from humans, which is why Tobiko isn't too fond of them. He tries to be kind to everyone regardless, though, as you can't judge a book by its cover, y'know? Despite of this though it still tends to get unfavorable human interactions, and because of this they opened up a sushi place to be a safe space for creatures like him. It's well known among its kind for how good its food is. While he himself is a vegetarian, and a large chunk of the menu is vegan/vegetarian, he's willing to catch and prepare fish from time to time for customers with a more carnivorous diet. They serve things other than sushi, such as sashimi, ramen, nabe (hot pot dishes), etc. but they're most well-known for the sushi. I might add onto this later, but I'll just ramble now. Fun fact: tobiko is the Japanese word for flying fish rue (eggs), which I thought would be ironic to have as a name considering his fish tail and wings, and I also think it's a cute name. I think Tobiko would be a fairly kind and patient individual who has a passion for making food, sushi in particular. It's a vegetarian. While they're patient, it may stoop into the territory of them being a bit of a pushover if they're not careful. If you break his trust, it's challenging to get it back though. It's quite tall, probably about 6'2 or so. I decided to put some freckles on their ears too, cuz it looked a lil bare otherwise; I also gave em lil eyebrow dots cuz it's cute and added the limb gradient to the arms as well to make it a bit more balanced.

First attempt at drawing him, real proud of how it turned out, used it as an opportunity to play around with shading and backgrounds. I put em in a sushi chef outfit 2. Flying fish! Wanted to draw a bird's eye view of them flying cuz I thought it might look a lil funny. Another opportunity to play around with the lighting/shading; I tried to emulate a subtle scale-like shine on the fish tail 3. Wanted to try out a more dynamic pose and figured the Sonic Adventure pose could be fun 4. Wanted to draw em mid-dinner rush, thought it could be a fun opportunity to play around with posing and props ╘════• ✧ • ═══╛
