Day 19. Today's theme was "Cherry Blossom" so I did a Gaysha... princess? Carp? She's based on the Japanese Freshwater White Carp, hence why she's albino! Don't ask me how she has makeup underwater.

Her and Day 7 (The Koi Fish girl) are dating.

I'm in whale mode right now for research, so gonna share one of my favorites for Remingtonocetus. Sounds very proper, I would absolutely have tea with Remingtonocetus (named for Remington Kellogg). It's a freshwater or coastal, early whale from the Middle Eocene.

1/2 Here's my input for day 5 of s prompts. Now I'm a white Australian and bacteria has more culture than us so I thought making a yawkyawk (indigenous mermaid) would be a fitting alternative. Unlike most cultures, yawkyawk are only found in freshwater

Learned today that, in addition to every other freshwater invert on Earth, I am also apparently caring for two 3cm leeches. Unintentionally kidnapped from FL in December. Sorry ladies

6/Alligators live in freshwater (slow rivers, swamps, marshes, lakes).
Current habitat isn't anywhere near the west coast, but maybe the death of humanity + climate change allowed them to broaden their horizons in the stone world. They also got bigger? (current record is 19.2 ft)

“Gardenhead and Jointed Neck”.
Heterosteus asmussi, a 6 meter long freshwater placoderm fish from the Devonian. It may have been an ambush predator, spending most of its time close to the sediment.

I really liked painting this one.

Since Splatoon 1 and 2 takes place in the 11th millennium, I thought the sea animals from the freshwater (or saltwater), to become walking-land mammals since all humans and animals on land (except birds) all went extinct and soon replaced by sea animals that will evolve later.
