Ah, thank you! It's neat to see what I placed on him.

My friends were on different instances. I don't think anyone else from my instance worked on him.

Fin Fin was almost a solo project and you can tell. I'm glad I got some help to finish coloring him, I didn't have the time myself.

As Kobold said, it's a computer game called Fin Fin on Teo the Magic Planet. It has a small internet cult fandom. It's misleadingly marketed as a pet game when it's more of a wildlife/birdwatching simulator than anything.

Fin Fin inspired me a lot over the last year (even got me into 3D modeling) so I owed it to him to add him to the canvas!

I understand being skeptical, but there's no reason it should be hard to believe...

You can have a healthy dose of both being informed and practicing self care. Being empathetic is also a good thing, actually.

I really thought this was fake. Wow!

This is awesome. Thank you for sharing! I love the tripod fish.

I honestly can't choose. I love too many of them. Some of my favorites are clefable, pikachu, vaporeon, palafin, armarouge, absol, meowscarada/sprigatito, grovyle, corviknight, ampharos, wooloo... just too many!

They are both good. Obviously more work went into the realistic frog, but 40 hours is a stretch. It was probably more like 1-4 hours (saying as someone who's studied realism). The charming quality of the doodle frog is what made it stand out. It's smart.

Tumblr is only good for extremely small and niche fandoms similarly to reddit. If I could mass exodus everyone from some of those smaller fandoms to an alternative like the fediverse I would, but most of them aren't techy (or stubborn) so it's difficult!

Their app being inaccessible for the blind was 'not acceptable'. They can go shove it.
