IN MY DEFENSE!!
...I was left unsupervised

🎨 #cultofthelamb #cotlfanart
Quilbug as the goat from 'cult of the lamb' stands with a bowl containing the bits of a pig person follower. They elaborate from the previous comic while tilting their head and looking to the side, "Well I thought the 'deadly dish' was what the follower wanted, because its technically follower meat," Quilbugs goes cross-eyed in a silly expression as they continue, "But another follower ate it instead and died..." Quilbugs expression brightens up as they exclaim, "Which solved the initial problem!" Pogglins as the lamb from 'cult of the lamb' stares at them in horror, their mouth taught as they retort, "That doesn't make it ANY better."

Thank you for letting me pick from your buggies to draw them in my style!! (Whenever there's a centipede I can't resist xD)
He bought my bug a (very generously sized) drink :D
A roughly coloured sketch of Caelan the centipede person sharing a drink at a bar with quilbugs insect persona. Caelan is a texas red headed centipede, his head and the first three segments of his elongated neck are a bright red that fades into a dark blue. His hands, the little legs at each neck segment, and the long whisker-like antennae are bright yellow. He wears a neat grey suit jacket over a blue-grey vest, white collared shirt and brown tie. He holds a squarish glass with a drink in it, and it is implied he bought the same drink for Quil. Quil is a little green bug with long legs, transparent wings and red and yellow bands on their back and thorax. They are just taller than the glass, they lean over the edge and stick their proboscis int he drink.

Never skipped a leg day!
Love the legs on these Pantaloon bees. Most people think they are massive pollen sacks but they are in fact double use legs for burrowing and collecting extra pollen.
