cohost feels like a good low-pressure place to share some of these; various marimon ideas that i either didn't finish or just wound up not liking. idk if they'll be revisited or not but i do think it's fun to talk about the process with stuff like this!
This one started with the idea of something with a fake shark-fin poking out of the water, and kinda turned into some kind of junkyard dog that ate rusty wrecked ships? i lost the plot with it
this one is an earlier version of a marimon that i went in a bit of a different direction with: 
supposed to be the marimon equivalent of a pokemon pseudo-legendary, something like goodra (but in practice closer to like, druddigon). based on beach trash-eating seagulls! the earlier one leaned more into an oil-spill sea bird.
some iterations of the idea of a "sea devil" before going with a simpler chubbier cherub-like sea angel
wanted to do something with the concept of those crabs that mess with undersea power cables, but it turns out crabs are fricking hard to draw (for me)
okay so this one was just straight up based on the filet of soul episode of dexter's laboratory cause it scared me real bad as a kid lol 
lastly, i wanted to share these couple tubeworm-based ideas that i tried to make work for a long while but was just never really happy with! i did eventually get a tubeworm concept that i was happy with:
that turned out to also be pretty important to the underlying lore in the setting of marimon, which is. complicated! i'll get around to making a post on here about it...
