HI GUYS hope you all had a nice downtime yesterday.

So I finally got around to painting this guy! The original paper was too big for my scanner so I had to scan it in four parts and piece them together with my genius brain skills.

I named him Marv. He lives in the mountains in Australia and he's really good at digging tunnels. Marv's purpose in this world is to recycle stars. So when a star falls out of the sky, he goes and finds it, and he eats it. The stars grow into him as spines, and they grow along his back until they reach the end of his tail-- at this point, they've regenerated and are now brand new stars, ready to be sent back up into the sky! The more stars he eats and recycles, the wiser he gets. So as you can imagine, Marv is very sophisticated. He's an avid reader and is fluent in many languages. He doesn't really need to eat anything else to live because the stars give him lots of nutrients, but he's been known to eat yetis. He hates yetis a lot.

OH also his stripes can change colors like a chameleon. (Not the white parts though) These are his favorite colors to be, but the stripes will change with his emotions or to better camoflage him.

Enjoy him, and let me know what you guys think! I'm really proud of him ♥
