Botanist
A cutie plant whispering Grandmother aboard the main crew's air ship.
Debuting another character from my Sky Pirate IP. Her character designs are heavily influenced & inspired by both of my Grandmas, and other lovely elderly folk I sprinkled in traits from :) Endless inspiration all around. I grew up surrounded by lovely gardening & farm work, fresh produce, some self sustainment, nature, & being fussed over by my small hometown's elderly, etc. This character is my homage to that upbringing & my forever love for genres or aesthetics of Solarpunk, Ecopunk, Cottagecore, Mori-Kei, Ghibli. I was aiming to be a Solarpunk/ Ecopunk Artist in college, I've not forgotten that younger hopeful version of myself, honouring that with my Botanist painting. <3

Previous Imaginings of my Botanist. I've redone her a few times over the years before the final above.
Iterations. I love them all so much. Fused a couple of them to make the final design. I would like to use the rest as other NPC's in the Botany guild in my IP.
Very Early doodles, when I started getting ideas for this new character for the crew.
The unseen little helper's in Botanist`s green-house. The Rutafae- little root plant spirits.
Closer on deets. Can see the Aquaponic Bowl/ Irrigation/ Grow-Op LED hat better
Close-up. You can see the Rutafae better. It is speaking to the Green Thumb communicator that sends signals to Botanist's special hearing aids
This is not photobashed..( would've been faster tho lol). I meticulously painted patterns on the side & laid them in perspective because I like pain. ^^; Inspired by Batik fabrics
Botanist's Pin-up. Also shown in the Pin-up Sketchbook series I've posted here on Artstation. Check the Project to see more ladies from my Sky Pirate IP.
Thank you so much for viewing my precious Grandma on ship. Stay tuned for more of my Sky Pirates! :D
