character adoption eh? well, what about Samuel?

That could work.

Yeah, I personally usually go for simple names. XD

Ah. :D

Bob!
Bob the Serperior! XD

Oh my. XD

or phill xD

XD

As somebody who likes to go with themes I guessed that this fellow Snakeydude seems a bit timid and shy from the looks. As that he's a Grass Type I only found it fitting to search for a name based of an existing plannt that fits with that. Please read, and see if you ike the name, dude. (^.=.^)


Fennel

You’re quiet, sometimes shy, with a tendency to be reserved. You have a humble, kind nature and often find yourself taking care of others. You can be known to hold things in, and you don’t always speak up for yourself. This tendency to hold things in can lead to disturbances.
Herbal Powers

Fennel is soothing and supportive, helping to ease digestive upset*. For feelings of fullness and bloating, fennel is the friend to call on to help.*

Sweet and mildly bitter, with a distinct licorice-like taste, fennel was revered by the ancients for its charming properties. Attributed with the power to bestow long life, courage, strength and even to ward off evil spirits, we modern plant people highly regard fennel for its capacity to ease uncomfortable feelings of fullness, bloating or gassiness, or as an all-around promoter of healthy digestion.*

Must say, I find the sound of it also rather cute and unique. The fun hing is that it would also quite fit his color and that he seems like the need to have a lil bell there to be able to either use it for calling for help or to encourage himself whenever he feels nervous. =3

Ooo, there's a good idea. I like the way you think, Marc! :3

I'll keep it in mind, though I have a feeling I'll go for that name. ^w^

Happy to help out. I'm always that way who can spend hours with adding fun trivia to random things and giving thoughts to what belongings, colors and all that can give context to a character. =3

Fennel can always feel free to wrap around Shiny for some snug hugs. =D

But never forgetting the nuzzles then. X3

And you're good at it! ^w^

Ooo, that's an absolutely adorable idea. :D

Oh, they can nuzzle for sure. :p

Hihi, of course because it makes common sense for friends if you can Snakeyhug somebody with your coils that you use it for also giving friendly nuzzles. It's the best about Serpents! Shiny would do the same if He'd be turned into a Nagadile. ;3

Me too probably, but I feel more comfortable having feet. >w<

Hehe, I guess everything comes with their own pros and cons. Shiny definitely likes to bounce with his tail like if it's a spring. I'm sure that Fennel can do the same with some practice. =D

Oh, yeah, definitely! I mean, if we can do it, I'm sure he can! :D

And who knows how fast he might be able to slither around without legs even? Maybe he can race around and climb up things with ease.

Well, it's not like Fennel had legs to begin with. X3

I meant it more like that he might be quite faster with his Snake body than most people with legs.

Oh, right. Yeah, sorry, I'm not the brightest 'Dile in the world. XD

*hands a flashlight* You're welcome. ;3

*rolls on the floor laughing because of how good that pun was*

*plays a drumset* (^.=.^)

That just makes it even better. XD

What can I say, I'm a toony dude afterall so you gotta have some funny sound effects once in a while. X3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBuhEHVB8L8 dibs if you manage to watch the whole video without going up a wall. ^_^

Haha, yeah, indeed! I tend to imaging funny sound effects when doing stuff in real life as well. X3

Over an hour long?! O.O

And that would be kinda like this? =D

Or

X3

Yes exactly! Oh man that video was hilarious! XD

Happy you enjoyed. I know lots of videos for many occasions. Especially though for making my dudes and myself giggle some. X3

Yeah. As you can see, sound effects make everything funnier. X3

And yeah, you always seem to know the right thing to do in any situation. ^w^

Hihi, in that case I'd be like an always prepared adventurer.
...
Or a boy scout. =D

Let's just stick with adventurer because no silly uniforms. XD

But I like all sorts of fun costumes! They are totodily awesome! And some dudes even collect badges and other accessoires for their outfits. *w*

I dunno; I don't like how they look. But that's okay, right? :3

Hihi, of course. Not every outfit is for everybody and some people get nervous at the thought to be seen with certain appearance:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm6-nqLtd4w <---good example of that. XD

Ew Zootopia D:

Well yeah, that's why in real life, I refuse to work somewhere where I have to wear a uniform. XD

I don't get the reaction really because there isn't really much wrong about toony Furries not wearing anything at all but you see what I meant. Some might still find any outfit funny or awkward. ;3

Yeah, I dunno, I don't like Zootopia because there's no reptiles in it. ;w;

Hehe, yeah, that's a bit funny. I guess they wanted to have more Animal designs inside the movie but then were forced to move on further into the developement of the movie. I don't wanna say that they dislike Reptiles or were lazy because think of it. The whole city and the many already existing species must have been quite the work. =3

I guess. X3

I dunno; I hear a lot of negative things about it. And I don't like the main character's design. ^w^;

I have the movie at home and actually ike it a lot but tastes are always differing. Like "Treasure Planet" isn't very popular either but I like that movie as well. =3

If anything, "Chicken Little" was a messed up and abysmal movie. XD

I see. X3

Also I randomly had the random idea of (hopefully) someday drawing Lockjaw (in his armour) adventuring with Shiny (in boy scout clothing maybe). :p

Also also tomorrow I might give drawing Marc the Slowpoke a shot. :3

Hehe, oh, my. Really though, you could just choose between one of Shiny's several outfits when it comes to hiking and playing around:

I always love to think of many ways how Shiny can have fun out there in some comfy and practical outfits. I also always write down whenever Shiny receives a gift from his dudes. In the past for example his big dude Rick gifted him a pair of boots.
He might not actually need clothes and also likes to get around just with something like his fav neckerchief around his neck but it's definitely a joy for him to watch himself in a mirror with the added attire.

In a way you could put all sorts of funny things on Shiny and he'd get interested in them from hats to paint and stickers/washable tatoos. He'd just enjoy playing around with all the things and showing them off to his dudes. X3

And really, I myself just find it so much adorable to imagine Shiny in all sorts of occasions wearing suchkind of outfits. Maybe you might even have an idea for some sort of jolly outfit, resembling that of a knight's squire to accompany him. I definitely always welcome when my dudes share all their ideas with me. It just shows that they like Shiny, too, and that makes me happy through and through.

Ooo, that's some nice outfits there!

The squire outfit idea soundd fun as well, but how do those look? ^^;

Well, I guess squires sear just warm mideval-styled clothes and look after the stuff a knight needs to carry around on travels. At least I'd imagine so. I didn't read that many books about knights.

Neither did I. XD I'll see what I can do, but I already told you what I'm trying tomorrow. :3

Ohehe, you know me. I am not much of a requester myself. I just love to throw around with the fun fantasies and listen to the ones my dudes got. If anybody likes Shiny enough that they wanna draw the lil guy I of course feel flattered and appreciate the fact that my dudes did offer their spare time only for making me a surprise. <X3

Well it helps that Totodile's my favourite Pokémon. Totodile is the best! <3

Plus, seeing Shiny with another shiny Totodile would be awesome. :3

How convenient then that Lockjaw is a Shiny Totodile as well, hehehe. X3

Yeah! It's just a cooncidence though. Lockjaw's based on my in-game shiny Totodile named Lockjaw. :3

Lockjaw's a real child on the inside too. Hyperactive, easily exciteable and adventurous. :3

I made Shiny in reply of encouragement of my dude Brakk. Since his Totodile had regular colors I wanted to make it so it would be easier to distinguish between them.

I see. Well he's still a total cutie. <3

Thank you. I think it's basically that the positivity and the aspects that make Shiny's personality let him stand out and I hope to build on that in the future yet so others will be quick to get to know him. I'd love to make him as recognizable as a regular cartoon character. ^_^

I hope you achieve that goal! ^w^

From the thumbnail, I thought it was a pic by Shikaro. He looks cute, by the way.

Thanks. :3

You're welcome!

i like him. cute uwu

Thank you, Oliver! ^w^

you're welcome
