Working on a wee comic with the octonauts grampa squad bc animation burnout is hitting HARD
I realized I dont have established designs for Natquick or Ranger Marsh, so heres them in both their work outfits, plus casual clothes ^^
Right- So, some notes ab their work fits:
you may have noticed these guys are my only octonauts designs w/ proper shoes. There is a reason for that, and no its not just bc i figured out how anthro footwear works.
Ranger marsh gets thick soled boots because working in the everglades means venomous snakes and spiders such as coral snakes and black widows- which would not be fun to step on barefoot. Even for a rabbit with thick fur on their feet. Not to mention, said fur also traps mud very easily.
As for Natquick, He gets fluffy boots because his paw-pads on his feet are very sensitive. Arctic foxes have thick fur not just on their bodies, but on their paws as well to protect them from the cold. Natquick however is much less fluffy than animals of his species tend to be. This is because during his time in the Antarctic- there were struggle periods where it became hard to find food. He became malnourished and started shedding fur. As a result he spend more time in the research station, and the rough floors weren't exactly the most pleasant to walk on.
Other than that, its basically exactly the same as their cannon fits besides minor color changes.
Now for their Casual Fits:
Natquick's is a cozy sweater, + a Tshirt Tracker gifted him. :D it reminds him of summer, which is certainly comforting in the cold. The scar on his leg? a result of frost-bite. While he was doing feild research in the Antarctic- and avalanche caught him of guard. His leg got caught under some ice. He waited there for almost a day before a group of penguins found him and helped him out. (i dont have a story for the scar on his snout yet)
As for Ranger Marsh, his is the same shorts he always wears, + a tanktop. when he was much younger, he went on a family camping trip at a national park. As their family traveled a lot, it was a pine-forest, somewhere in North America rather than the swampy everglades he was used to. the trip was what made him wanna be a park ranger. The tank-top was something he had gotten from the parks gift shop. As for the wrappings on his shoulder- The green patches of his fur are much more sensitive to the harsh sun than the brown patches are. He does his best to shield himself from the sun- by using things like his hat and working in the shade. But Sunburns still happen, and they can be pretty nasty at times.
Hope you guys like these designs! They were really fun to make!
+ it gave me an excuse to rewatch "Operation Deep Freeze" ^^

Natquik Headcanons
VERY paranoid
Gay and demisexual
He/They
When he lost connection to the radios he spent hours freaking out while trying to fix the connection, causing him to slightly go insane
Being alone for such a long time has created a slightly crazy side
Any slightly traumatized child he comes across, he adopts
Took tracker in REAL quick
Barnacles and Bionca used to constantly get into arguments so he’d shove them in a get along shirt
You piss him off he’ll have the CRAZIEST Russian accent
Replaces “The” “W” with “V” and “Z” like Zat or Vas
He isn’t usually a drinker but flavored vodka hits diff
If he sees someone cry that he cares abt he becomes a dad
Some CPTSD
Calico Jack and him are just- ✨Chaotic besties✨
If he doesn’t know what to respond with while texting he’s probably just go: 🕺💃🕺💃
