Sailing the Shipping Seas

This growth is rather interesting, just due to how it looks, as well as functions. It’s described on the wiki as “hybridized crystalline and fungal growth of unknown origin”. I do find it interesting that while it’s crystalline, the fungal influence is far more prevalent, especially in the process of destroying it. I say this because I noticed something interesting while destroying this one; it releases spores upon destruction.

It’s unclear what these spores do, but if I had to guess, I would assume that one of them is for defense, and one of them is for spreading more. The yellow one comes first, so I could see that one being used for spreading more Firegleam to the surrounding area. The blue one comes later while it’s being destroyed, so I can see that one being more of a defense mechanism, as if the growth realizes it’s being hurt and puts that out as a means to try to stop whatever is going after it. (It’s also worth mentioning that it also gives off electricity, which could also be seen as a natural defense mechanism)

If they make Star Trek Prodigy comics, this is how the cover looks like in my imagination

Palette I'm using :

[Image ID: First image - A stylistic drawing of middle aged Korra. She's standing in front of a purple background and flames, with one eye aglow. She is staring forward with resolve and seems to be cradling a mysterious orb close to her center. Second image - A closeup of the same drawing on a white background. Korra has gray streaks in her bob and a white cord tied around a hair tassel on her left side. End ID]

can you believe I've never drawn ms cheekbones?
