The theme for this month is insects! Insects are the most diverse group of organisms on earth, with over a million species named and potentially 2-30 million species total.





They also used to get a lot bigger back in the Carboniferous due to higher atmospheric oxygen concentrations




(last two are a diplopod and an arachnid, not an insects, but same phenomenon)

The critter eating the donut is sorta bug-like. Mandibles and compound eyes...

Sorry for the crummy Instagram filter, I drew this fella at a dimly lit bar.

Things are gonna be pretty crazy for me over the coming month. I'm in the process of moving to NYC for a new full-time programming job. This will represent a significant reduction in my free time, so I may not be able to keep up my daily update pace for the comic. Apologies in advance.

Arthropleura and Pulmonoscorpius aren't insects! :mad:

Edit: oh you said that. I shouldn't post late on weekends, here's some bust I drew like three years ago

While I don't know the name of the beetle I used as inspiration for the last bugelf, this one is based on mourning cloak, one of my favourite butterflies! Their black-red-purplish velvet wings absorb the light in such a way that it looks like gazing in a soft hole in reality. Old superstition states that it's bad luck if mourning cloak is the first butterfly of the summer you see.

Hoping (again) if I post images in multiple places and participate in various themes then maybe I won't suddenly stop drawing for months on end. Constructive crit always welcome

Both of these themes were taken from reddit sketchdaily

Been slowly making another album cover. It's taking ages due to "regular" work and life crap but almost done with the lineart so woop woop!

I drew a man from imagination. About an hour and a half of work. Trying to get a method of working down, instead of just doing whatever.

Sorry I have no bugs, but there are people bugging me on the phone at work while I drew these so I think it counts.

Rushed the coloring but the band-folks were happy as is so it's finally done! Jpeg-compression hosed up the text and brightness for some reason so imagine it being soft and light >_>
