Did some doodling today…mostly playing around with palettes and trying to nail down Abby’s overall design a little better. I think they’re perpetually wet like ish, but to a slightly lesser degree. More “freshly showered” and less “walking slip hazard”.
Still figuring out what all their whole deal is but everyone here is a hot mess one way or another, I know that much

Dungeon Meshi is extremely, extremely, extremely good, and the first episode hasn't missed a beat. Anime bullshit is nil. Fighterman is indeed autistic and the early narrative is largely him finally getting to explore a special interest he's been told not to talk about for years. And as far as horny goes... honestly there is DEFINITELY a horny undercurrent but in a "earnest undercurrent of eroticism" kind of way as opposed to a "KYAAAA~" kind of way. Tastefully horny, with the only character to ever get upskirts being Senshi the Dwarf, as one very clear example.
And, all of this is happening in a story that is written to be at once full on laugh out loud funny, but built on a framework that betrays an obsessive worldbuilder's long term fascination with ecology and cuisine filtered through the lens of D&D fantasy. Action is really good, characters are each fantastic in their own way, overarching narrative is super interesting- honestly, I can't recommend it enough. As you say, now that the anime is a thing, I'd say you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by giving it a shot. If it's not for you that's all good, but I think you're a lot more likely to love it than to not.
I don’t know that I’ve ever actually posted these anywhere…have some tonsilbeasts!
Their bodies are fairly malleable and can shift around a lot, but usually they’re aquatic entities in a big icy ocean.
This is also what Umami is, she just came out bizarrely human shaped and not very shifty. That happens sometimes, you leave those ones with the locals.
I was picking through old sketchbooks and it seems a shame that I only have 3 pages of Public Umami when I must have Hundred(s?) of pages of her elsewhere...so...here’s some select picks of some Oooolder art!
Back before I really figured out her shape, and also she was a shapeshifter...She can’t really do that anymore*, but as per her sort of baseline/dubiously Canon setting she’s a thing I just call a tonsil beast- Huge spongy whale things who guard giant VR servers in the icy oceans of...Somewhere.
As you can see, she’s pretty people shaped! What an oddball, better leave her with the people shaped locals
*She does have dramatic shifts in weight based on how she’s doing tho, so that kinda counts right
Obviously Ish and Abby have a lot of complicated sibling baggage from the family dynamic they had growing up, but are there any experiences they had together that stand out as particularly fond memories to one or both of them? Do they think about each other often as adults? If so, are the feelings they each most associate with the other reciprocal or... asymmetric?
oh yes, delicious question and one I've been pondering lately, I'd say YES they DO have fond memories of eachother! Likely some of the same ones. I think they spent a decent amount of time trying to make little things together..abby is fond of Automatons and making little things that move, Ish usually the one supplying Ideas or decorating the more plain stuff Abby would make.Â
AHA I REMEMBERED READMORES EXIST
Also just giving them ideas for later things in her own weird way, like crouching over a puddle full of tadpoles and Insisting Abby could make their own pretty puddle that won't dry up.
So in that vein I think Abby thinks of Ish fairly often, even if they don't exactly want to- especially if they're stumped for ideas on what new MASTERPIECE!! to make next. The other half of the time is thinking of her in a resentful way bc they get the vibe that she's Mommy's Favorite- which is insane! Why cant THEY live up to that, she sent Ish to live in a HOLE. For all they know she could be Dead, Why should they be jealous of THAT..
Ish on the other hand thinks more kindly of Abby? These days anyway, the more she thinks about how....withering it must be to stay with Thriven. She would like to reconnect, though she's resigned to things going Poorly if they came back in contact...
I think she thinks of Abby Most when she sees things their clever little brain could help with in the sinking town that is dunslough (or whatever i name it upon exporting, it's kinda hard to beat Dunslough tho). Also just wonders what they're up to lately...perhaps she should pay a visit

I felt the mood strike and found myself drawing my favorite little mud family actually Next to eachother for once.
Maybe not Exactly proportional but you get the gist, I’ll have to work on the clothes because “Puritan Cowboy” requires more reference than i presently have (patience for)...
also Ish is buff now, have I mentioned she’s a little hunky now,
