When Dev & I first made Oquonie, we based a lot of assets on things we had around us when living in Tokyo.

We used to grow avocado plants from the pits and kept them in little umeshu glasses (pictured on the right).
We also would sprout potatoes and grow plants with them for fun (little plant up front).

In Japan a lot of houses keep PET bottles full of water in specific spots on their property (nekoyoke 猫よけ, to scare away cats) so this is what I drew here too :>.
