#bugmight

So. A pal in the toshinoumu server gave me the idea to draw a trigger-drugged Bugmight. I obviously accepted and godDAMN this was a fun exercise to test my monster designing skills gsnfmjshf

I finished all of these in one day in a rare boost of inspiration so enjoy the results of my several-hour-long suffering I guess lmao

Bonus concept sketch:

It’s not my Au but I thought the idea was really, REALLY cool. And the artist’s art for it is ALSO very, very cool

My brain: Goose

Me: what

My brain, louder: GOOSE

me: no i don’t have time or money

My brain, screeching: GOOSE GOOSE G O O S E G O O S E

Baby time

(Do NOT tag as ship or I'll invert your kneecaps)

Based on this:

I got suddenly gripped tight by an urge to draw something unsettling so uh. Here's bugmight shifting for the first time

Bugmight carapace colors? Yeah. Happy halloween everyone 🎃✨

His armor changes colors with each costume change he goes through, during the molting process - the usual cycle is once every year, though the colors only change if he needs them to. I've also been playing around with an idea for a possible low-level camouflaging ability that'd let him influence the color of his plating at will, to a certain extent - nothing beyond dulling or brightening the colors somewhat though gsmfmsh
