#Insectember 23: Bolitotherus cornutus, the forked fungus beetle! Wanted to focus more on showing a bit of how the abdomen/wings/elytra combo works for my beetle-folks, anatomy wise. #insectember2025

#Insectember day 20, and 21-22 as a combo since they're both wasps! The first one is Sphinx ligustri, a type of moth, and the other two are Conura sp. and Brachymeria sp., two wasps. I lost some steam working on the second one :'3 But now I'm caught up finally! #insectember2025

#Insectember 17-19! I'm still playing catch up because my wrist has been sore :'3 Here is the Muslin Moth, the Canopy Mosquito, and the Pleasing Fungus Beetle! Still got two more to do to catch up but I probably won't be getting them done today. #insectember2025

#insectember 15 and 16! Time to play Catch Up :'3 Been moving the last couple days so I'm a couple days behind... I drew Papilio agenor before the move, and then drew Ceratocanthus sp. today after finishing a big commission, and still have 2 more to do tomorrow! Ah! #insectember2025

#Insectember day 9: Reduvius personatus, the masked hunter! A type of assassin bug, where the nymph will cover itself in dirt and debris as camouflage. One of their main prey items is termites, so I was imagining them staking out a termite mound~ #insectember2025 #bugoc #insectoc #anthrobug

#Insectember day 8: Eumorphus marginatus, the Handsome Fungus Beetle! I wanted to draw a cozy, foraging in the forest sort of scene for this one. #insectember2025 #bugoc #insectoc #anthrobug

#Insectember day 7: Trithemis aurora! A very gorgeous type of dragonfly! I always imagine dragonflies as being more sporty, so I tried to give her that sort of look. And of course, these dragonflies being pink and orange, I had to lean into a specific color scheme 💗🧡🤍 #insectember2025
A humanized Trithemis aurora dragonfly. She is hovering against a sunset sky, pointing to the right. She has hot pink skin, and cropped, messy orange hair. She is wearing a tank top and running shorts.

#Insectember2025 has begun! I'm a bit late, but I've got the first 4 drawings out at least! Hopefully the rest of the month will go more smoothly in terms of getting drawings out daily.

Cleaned up some oc sketch references yesterday! Some characters I don't have any concrete plans for yet, but whose designs I'm pretty happy with~ We've got a yellow throated marten and a siberian musk deer, and a nyala antelope and a spotted hyena! #ocsky #kemonomimi
Simple reference sheet for a humanized yellow throated marten, and a humanized siberian musk deer. There are also sketches of various expressions for both.

My orchid mantis girl, aptly named Orchid! She's a character from Bug Bites who will be introduced in chapter 2 (which will exist one day, I swear, I have it all plotted out I just suck at focusing xD). Ty to @kairinanami.bsky.social for suggesting I draw her ^^/ #ocsky #bugoc #insectoc

I feel like I've been pretty radio silent over here... In unsurprising news, I've been pretty burnt out the past few weeks :'3 But I'm still determined to have a demo ready for September!! So have a #WIPWednesday to show that I am indeed still working on stuff, even if it's been slow going.
An RPG Maker Expression Sheet of Mataro, a humanoid lion. He has dark brown skin, a dark brown afro, yellow eyes, and brown lion ears. Most of his expressions are very neutral, but he has a wide eyed innocent expression, and an angry expression as well.

I didn't have room in the last post, but I also did an attack on @licaijun99.bsky.social! I was attacked last year, but didn't have a chance to get my revenge, so I drew their dragonfly Stain this year! #artfight #artfight2025
Stain, a yellow dragonfly with black stripes and bright green eyes, swooping down across the sky.

I realized I haven't posted any of my art fight attacks yet! Attacks on @avicebro.bsky.social, @number1mongrel.bsky.social, @fatedtime.bsky.social, and @coffeecakecatt.bsky.social !! #artfight #artfight2025
Digital drawing of Neo, an anthro narwhal. He is white, with pink and grey splotches along his limbs and back, with pink and blue spots. His hair is teal, with pink, yellow, and blue sprinkles, and his horn looks like an ice cream cone. Digital art of Vulca, the fox girl, and Laplace, the rabbit girl. Vulca has short, scruffy orange hair, and is running away from Laplace, with a cheerful smile on her face. Laplace has short brown hair, and full armor, and is hollering after Vulca and shaking a fist at her as she runs. They are in front of a stone wall, in a grassy field. Digital art of Calico Carnelian. She is naked, her skin blotched with black and white markings. She is missing her right arm. She has short hair in a gradient from red to green, and is looking somberly down at a star held in her left hand. Digital art of Anthelion, an anthro wolf, and Maki, an anthro wolf-shark. Anthelion is lying on his stomach on the edge of a boat in front of a sunset, gazing down at Maki and holding his hand. Maki is lying on his back on the floor, gazing lovingly up at Anthelion.
