Continuing the insect fairy concept bsky.app/profile/tash... with a more dramatic and imposing fairy queen The queens would have the most powerful mind altering pheromones. Enabling her to keep her whole colony hidden and safe.

Having fun with a more biological (but still fantasy) take on fairies. I wanted them to be intelligent insects that could manipulate humans and other animals with pheromones. Causing confusion, memory loss and other effects. They mainly do this to keep themselves safe and hidden.

Retired queens enjoy higher status and rewards for their service. They also guide new queens and help to govern colonies. Unfortunately they often suffer from fatigue and other health problems.

This was annoying me and I felt like she could be a bit better, so I redesigned her head and torso.

Moth fairies are typically studious little things. They are quiet and introverted compared to their more flamboyant close relations, the butterfly faeries. They tend to be scientists, artists and philosophers.

18 Sept

They'll often spend their whole lives in the safety of their colony, but sometimes particularly brave and determined moths will venture out for the sake of their chosen field and for some adventure. Continuing the insect fairy project bsky.app/profile/tash...

However overproduction of these chemicals can effect her health and lifespan and so queens have to be regularly retired and replaced by carefully chosen princesses.

I don't stream but wanted to try making a little Resi pngtuber anyway. At least I can use this if I ever work up the courage to start. Had some trouble with PNGTubeRemix, but I finally got her moving the way I want. I might still mess with the settings, but for now I'm just glad she's working!

31 July

She has a mouth open and closed image, blinking and an arm swap for when she's talking. Her wing flap is animated frame by frame.

They're based on different insects, mainly bees and mantises for this one. I went for the mantis like body plan as I wanted them to have a pair of little hands free to use tools with. And to subtlety anthropomorphise them while still keeping them a little otherworldly looking.

30 June

This one's a busy little worker, the queen and warrior versions of her species are larger and more dramatic looking. I'm also thinking about sub-species more based on moths, butterflies, rhino beetles etc.

That was an unintentionally long break. I’ve been messing around with my movink tablet and I’ve been drawing more on that lately. I love it but it’s effected my process a bit. But I’m finally ready to take commissions again!

14 June

Saw the new trailer so I had to draw Spyro! This take on him is based on geckos and baby crocs. I think i made the face a little too gremlin-like, but I'm just going to pretend this is what the sheep see before the player charges or flames them.

Mini illustration of a sleepy little rowlet. Might make this into a sticker

Lugia and yveltal are among my fave legendary designs, both being bird dragon things. It was a bit of a challenge trying to make sense of the arm wings.

2 May

Will be away, then busy for a while so here's a thing I've been working on. Yveltal vs Lugia. I've been wanting to draw the two weird arm wing, bird dragons together for a while now

Concepts for the next cat on the fantasy feline project, the nekomata! I wanted them to be semi-bipedal but not too anthro. Digital - Clip Studio

9 Mar

Final spread of the Guardian Lion for my fantasy feline project. Though I might mess with the layout and text a bit more if I end up printing it. I think I've decided I'm going to take this project on a traditional direction with some digital help. Which means I'll need to re-do the cat sith again.
