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

a bunch more thistle-whistle. i am understanding him more and more. watch me release him into the world

daily bees [6/13-end of june]. some days had to be skipped because i was on a trip that i also caught a cold on .. rip

I made a few simple doodles of them but i'm unsure if you're fine receiving them or having fanart of them posted anywhere (or just having fanart of them exist in general), so figured i should ask about it first

yeah you can post it, thank you so much ! i always enjoy fanart. i dont often check my mentions on this site so you might have to remind me when ya post it

I have so many questions BUT there’s this idea that’s been festering in my brain. So sorry if this is a bit pushy or rude, it’s just not many people know these things existed? Again, sorry this is your world, your story.

There’s a thing known as Toothpick shooter clothespin or Mini matchstick gun, pretty much made the same way, which is really easy too. And I think would be a good equivalent to crossbows!

Wouldn’t really overshadow the knights, because they can’t really mass-produce it. Also, can only reload them one at a time, which is anxiety inducing when the enemy can just fly away.🐝

So are only used for the defense of the kingdom or given to those that have mastery.

Again, again, sorry if this is rude. I just love the little idiots you have created and excited to see more!!! 🦋

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
