On an Isel homeworld, the Junk Heap visits a Historical Cavern to read a vital piece of information.  With the Isels' permission, they record the history written on one of their History Crystals, translated by their guide.  This history, about a star system called "Brimstone" ended up being populated by species who have a strong affinity for burning hot worlds.  This also reveals an interesting piece of information on why the Mycon have been fewer in numbers(during the Starship Junk Heap timeline, 100 years after the Sa-Matra was destroyed): Something the Isel took part in called "Operation Ice Age".

Merry Christmas! One of my Christmas gifts is a Huion Inspiroy art tablet, and picked this sketch from 2024 to digitize and try the tablet out!

"This is my favorite hat... used to be Jessie's hat, but she's given it to me."
Might color this later, since I like the doodle.

A handmade plush of my Melnorme fancharacter, Lavender.  She's made with various materials that I reclaimed, mostly articles of clothing that either do not fit or are unwanted.  So it's hard to say EXACTLY what materials she's made of, lol.

Additional notes: No sewing machine was used in the creation of this plush, it's ALL sewn by hand!  I also did NOT use or even MAKE patterns for this plush either, because when my mind's set to making a plush like this, I usually have a good idea of how it'll turn out when it's finished.

Second photo, this time a close up(include my hand for scale).  You can see the additional embroidery I did for the eye, mouth and freckles.  As always, embroidering the freckles was a HUGE pain in the neck!  But I AM happy with how the embroidery of the teeth and around the eye turned out.

Three days well-spent! And zero sewing machines used!

Rusty and Penny have a minor “rivalry” between them, but that’s for a good reason: Penny used to be a part of a rather vicious group of space pirates.  What Rusty has not come to acknowledge(yet) is that the rest of that pirate crew is dead and Penny’s the only remaining member of that crew left.
But hold on, how does Rusty know Penny was a part of that pirate crew??

It turns out that Beta Wolf was actually pilfered by that pirate crew, but he never saw Penny in the group that robbed the village of valuable goods.
So Penny has to remind Rusty that she’s no longer a pirate and that she has come to regret being that way from when she was a rather young woman.

Penny does tease Rusty, but this is (semi)friendly teasing, but Rusty does NOT like it when Penny does this!

Tried something different with this particular piece: color only background.
I imagine that a Melnorme ghost would take on the color they’re named after.  In the case of Lavender’s dearly departed mother, Rose-Red, a rosy shade of red.

Apart from adoring her daughter’s handiwork and being proud of her, what is Rose-Red’s ghost doing here?  Surely, she has something important to say, right?

Melnorme Headcanon Doc Since I follow the “starfish standing up idea”, their limbs(pods as they call them), might consist of a basic muscular structure(which is circular) and flexible cartilageneous matter, similar to spine...

BIG update to the Melnorme Headcanon doc! I'm clearly having too much fun writing about this species.

A young Rusty-Red.  Many grownups say he’s an absolute sweetheart who is always polite, friendly and even loving towards his many friends.

A young Rusty-Red. Many grownups say he’s an absolute sweetheart who is always polite, friendly and even loving towards his many friends.

However, he has a lot of lines drawn already.  He already doesn’t like when friends get into trouble or getting involved in their issues, under fear of being caught and punished.  Although if he were punished, his parents never give him anything that lasts long or a ban.  A chore like vacuuming the living room or washing a big pile of dishes is enough to compensate for whatever trouble he gets into.
And no child ever likes getting yelled at, and Scarlet and Carmine know this.

Couple doodles of a young(about 5 or 6 Earth years old) Rusty-Red for a private RP with someone.

Banker Pearl and her husband Taupe.  Taupe was originally born conjoined to his long since deceased brother Chestnut.  Separation from Chestnut resulted in stunting Taupe’s growth, but at least he survived the many therapies that allowed him to live a healthy life!  He and Pearl met in school as children and Taupe was immediately smitten by Pearl.  She was the most incredible thing he had ever, not only because of her tripled body proportion, but also the way she was able to swim.  Ever since they met eyes, the two were inseparable, to the point of getting married.

First fully-colored piece after a while!  

Rusty's daughter, Pearl has grown up very fond of water... swimming even!  She won first place in a 150-meter swim, thanks to lots of practice!  She now has her very own exploration team for missions underwater, which usually doesn't require special equipment(unless for deep-sea exploration).

She even has a specially-made swimsuit ideally made to be worn under her usual clothes,

Lavender grew up with the deep fear of monkeys(not primates, like chimps) due to an incident that took place when she was eight years of age.
During a family visit to a traveling menagerie, Lavender was bitten by a sick macaque and got extremely ill as a result.  Of course, Lavender's parents and twin brother were infuriated by this occurring due to negligence by an attendant.  So as a result, this landed Lavender in the hospital for a solid month, as the infection from the macaque bite tended to make the poor girl fluctuate from feeling well enough to take on her daily allotment of lessons, to feeling so sick she couldn't concentrate.

During this one-month stay, she had a near-perpetual streak of nightmares about rabid monkeys jumping to bite her more, so these lessons and frequent visits from family were what temporarily led her away from these nightmares, which Lavender still remembers today.

She grew up with this fear of monkeys deeply ingrained in her, because of an incident that could have easily been noted and contained, had it not been for a negligent animal attendant.  Fortunately, her family got their much-needed compensation from the attendant and the owner of the menagerie.

In the event that she has to go out and explore a cold planet, Lavender has a specially-made insulated suit for just that purpose.  She may not look like it, but she actually does like the suit.
Headcanon: Melnorme are not tolerant to supercold temperatures and usually prefer warmer climates.  However, because their explorations in finding ancient artifacts potentially went to cold worlds too, either protective suits or insulated suits like this are required.

Kammo(as he dubs himself) was created from DNA that Plox Laboratories stole from Rusty while he was imprisoned, and after Plox Laboratories fell, the survivors of it used this DNA to create a clone.  A clone that was intended to be evil.  But after being instructed to attack a prisoner, Kammo forgot what he was supposed to do by the time he was face-to-face with the prisoner.  As it turned out, Kammo came out with some severe deficits, like the inability to speak comprehensibly, not having good memory, having fairly poor motor skills, poor coordination(making his steps a bit wobbly), overall having the mindset of a toddler.
After having enough of the clone, the Plox Labs survivors did not know what to do.  Killing him would mean wasting so much time and effort on this clone, so instead, they left him at Delta Libra X to potentially terrorize the people there.  
He didn't scare anyone at all and instead left people marveling at this clone, and the hubbub came out that there was a "bizarre monster" that just arrived in Delta Libra X had just hit the Junk Heap.  In the end, the Junk Heap fell in love with this not-so-evil clone and sought to gently teach him things.

It's not noticeable here, but Kammo's skintone is supposed to be redder than Rusty's, and his eyes is a turqoise/blue-green color.

Okay, one more Melnorme art spam before I post something else. This is the apple pie loving clone, Kammo. He's holding apple beignets, btw.

Inventoe) Lavender(or "inventress" as she calls it) is another Melnorme, though one of the first to be enlisted in the Starship Junk Heap.  She is awfully pretty for a Melnorme, but that also matches up to her superior intellect, her handiness in inventing and engineering, and her sassy sarcasm.  She is also temperamental and easily annoyed, but if you play music, offer her a book or gift her something she finds pretty, she'll cool off.
Another favorite fancharacter of mine, because not only do I enjoy drawing her, but also because her story is one I like writing about as well.

This is based on a kind of spin-off/backstory to Rusty-Red.
To summarize: Rusty was raised on a colony planet, and when the planet he used to live on collapsed on itself, he took off to yet another colony planet, though this one had other races, including this Syreen named Jessie, who became one of his very best friends.  Rusty and Jessie were thick as thieves and would often get into different kinds of mischief if they had the chance to.  This is probably one of those instances in which they're leaving a place they were not supposed to be in.

The fruits of 3 days of near-constant hand-sewing!  Yeah, I know I made another plush of him recently, but he's super-sized now!  One day, I'll post a side-by-side of the previous plush compared to this one.
