#verigreens

i dont have anything else to add lol

I haven't posted much of Suzy on here-- she's a queen paper wasp n she has this sorta maternal subtly military role towards the hymenopterans of Flowered City? I saw her in a dream n she primarily exists as a contrast between what Krud military is like versus what Verigreen troops are like. Zarojo is not her child, but she feels a sense of kinship with them and is technically their commander. Verries live in a very pacifistic society so Suzy prefers the diplomatic route, but is not opposed to pelting her foes with pollen if necessary. I don't think she's killed anyone but don't let her warm demeanor and cute appearance fool you, she is a master of psychological warfare.

I figured it’d be fitting to draw these two swapped, since I think if the story had continued, Max could easily become a verigreen himself if given enough time. On the other hand, Iridamorous literally spies on the other kruds by posing as one himself, so I figured a true krud form for him could be interesting. I also considered drawing Aelia for this prompt, but I can’t really think of a good krud design for her-- Irid was very easy to design because male bagworm moths really do look like this, their wings are transparent and their bodies are covered in dark brown/black fur. I couldn’t think of a more krudlike analogue for what Aelia is... maybe I will someday if I feel like doing more ‘swaps’ like this?
