Bug of the Day

I was so psyched that I managed to successfully rear this Golden Tortoise Beetle (Charidotella sexpunctata) from a wee larvae with a gross poop hat (fecal shield) to this rad red sports car! And then I realized that I forgot to get baby photos, so you will just have to imagine a flat but spiky larva covered with its own waste. Or Google it :-)

Some insect drawings on my iPad, I have almost no experience drawings insects so hopefully I can get more practice in.

1st - Giant Water Bug (Lethocerus americanus)

2nd- Shield Bug (Homaemus aeneifrons)

3rd - Leather Beetle (Osmoderma subplanta)

4th - Two Stripe Grasshopper (Melanoplus bivittatus)

My funny beetle guy :] I finished some design tweaks for him in between the last bit of Art Fight stuff, so I figured I’d post it now! Pretty minor tweaks here, mostly just strengthening the symbol integration in his shape language, as well as giving him a better pose for the lineups I have going right now.

I sketched out the poses beforehand so it should work well with the rest of them when they’re finished, though I still have to update his extended reference and make sure everything matches. I may have to adjust a few things later on when he’s compared with the others, but overall I really like how this came out! It definitely captures his personality :D

---------- The constellation symbol for Scutum was originally designed by Denis Moskowitz and released to the public domain

WIPs from September 10th, 2023

-has two completely separate series WIPs- -makes cameo/crossover characters between them rather than working on the main stories again- in other words I'm back on my bullshit lol

I've felt very burnt out and unmotivated lately so I guess I'm trying to shake myself enough to make more art?? I've been chipping away at designs for both Moth to the Flame and Captain Artemis so I've got bugs on the brain again I've had the idea of giving Scutum a parallel character/reference in MttF for a while considering he's already a beetle in Starglass Zodiac (I honestly just love referencing other things in the background aha) and since Scorpio is also based on a bug (arachnid yes i know) I really liked the idea of giving him a nod too since they're already a duo I'd imagine that they'd have a different dynamic/personalities here, and since they're based on other characters of mine already, they'll probably just be cameos in Moth to the Flame rather than full characters to avoid repeating myself with their stories, but I like them a lot anyway :]

I may explore the idea of sapient scorpions existing in MttF's society though, since spiders and other predatory bugs are considered non-sapient animals that hunt the characters in this universe. All of the sapient bugs have a very militaristic society that highly favours those who do well in combat for the sake of survival, so I imagine that Scorpius quickly gained his status as commander due to his natural attributes, though many question whether he's actually on their side because of that. With his claws and stinger, he's essentially a "living weapon" as it is, and only carries other weapons to further augment this, whereas other bugs need to carry some kind of weapon in order to survive at all, like Kiida with her bow and arrows. I gave him a bandaged eye to sort of mimic SGZ Scorpio's side-swept hair, but it ended up referencing Ophiuchus more (which is hilarious if you know anything about Starglass Zodiac lol) Despite being generally freaked out by bugs in real life, they provide me with endless creativity that I don't think will ever wane. There's just such a variety not only in species but in how one can interpret them into characters. Though posing that many limbs is always a challenge, it's still very fun! I'm proud of Scorpius's double salute aha This isn't much but it's the most art I've done in weeks so hooray??? celebrate the little victories folks

I found this older thing I don’t think I posted yet. It was for an (unfinished) educational project for kids that I worked on for uni. It was supposed to sort of demonstrate how true bugs eat and the sexual dimorphism in false oil beetles.

Apparently, a bit to the south-west of the topmost teleport waypoint in the research institute region, you'll find a little pond

In that pond stands two meka which honestly reminded me of Coppelia and Coppelius, and so out of curiosity, I approached them because the health bar shown for enemies was missing

I didn't expect them to attack Alhaitham like that, oops... but well, guessing that maybe I might get an achievement, I did defeat them but all I got were the mats

Perhaps this is like the various tainted Hydro phantasm enemies with a load of health and horribly strong attacks? Well, my aim was unlocking the teleport waypoints first so I guess discovering that would be for another day

🍀

OMG I THINK I STUMBLED ACROSS THEM THE OTHER DAY WHEN EXPLORING 😭 they were just being silly and dipping their toes in the lake, completely ignoring the fact they are meckas but who cares abt the details 😩

and no bc i thought the same 😭 like why else would u put them in a LAKE in the middle of NOWHERE, only for them to be normal meckas 🧍‍♀️

#omg a convo !? #clover nonnie !! #there is this one super annoying beetle mecka boss with a continuous geo shield tho... #throwing up just remembering that metal bug.....

[annelidist]

there's not really a way of making it say that you've engraved something into a hard surface of your body (since qud makes the relatively reasonable assumption that player characters have, like, skin), but imago's definitely carefully etched the mark of death on their carapace like a decorative crest on a breastplate

#they have an actual coat of arms hand painted on their shield(s) but since theyre not a real knight and just like to call themself one #its just a big stag beetle in bright blue paint (rampant) #caves of qud #bones.txt
