Marimon! Marimon is a fishing-themed monster-catching setting inspired by GBC-era games, small toys, the gulf coast, and whatever else my brain distills into it. It was/is my main thing for a couple years now, though currently I'm taking a break from it.

In the past (by which I mean on twitter) I was always anxious about posting the full lineup of marimon designs together like this for fear of art theft by bots and whatnot. Buuuuut since cohost is a lot smaller and isn't riddled with bots, I figured I'd put em up here.

Which six would you have on your team? 👀

Just pulled it out of the kiln! Planning on submitting it as a prize to GDQ B)
