d-d-d-d-d-d-dfeng!!??!?!

i'm gonna try and follow this drawing advice and draw one thing a day, and post them here every 3-5 days

in The Butterfly Soldier, there are a lot of background bee characters since it takes place in a fantasy bee colony, so i want to get used to drawing tons of generic cartoon bee NPCs

[drawn throughout mid-April and May 2026] Thistle is supposed to have knight armor at some point in the story. I have never really drawn armor before so I’ve been desperately trying to get the hang of that... There hasn't been much other art because I've accumulated at least 8 pages of me just tryna figure out his armor oh my god. He still keeps his other outfits but the armor will most likely be his main look. (It’s made out of shells of other bugs) (him having extra arms is NOT HELPING!!!) You can kinda see me slowly figure it out here...

[drawn around 4/10 (maybe earlier) - 4/16/26] For the past couple weeks, I've just been refining the script for the moth and butterfly short film idea (placeholder title is "The Butterfly Soldier" but imma be real, it'll probably just stay as the actual title). You won't see a lot of finished art from me until that's done, so I'll be posting my past sketch concepts for these guys in the meantime.

I collected a bunch of bug character designs but did not end up aligning them. I didn't know where to start haha
