>>83997206Surprised to see someone else put a new thread up already, couldn't wait till saturday?
Hey /bzzt/!Look at this cool action figure I learned about in /toy/. It's not out yet though.
>>83999009Something about it looks off, don't want to completely write it off as AI but definitely want to see other images before having any hopes
what clothes would bugs wear if bugs wore clothes?
>>84005546Probably would be a lot of clothing with a focus on form over function as they wouldn't need clothing as much, would think there would be a lot of free-flowing/loose stuff, though everything would likely depend heavily on the type of bug in question

what if you were a big bug but i were a small bug and you let me ride on your back
>>84007824Unfortunately pokemon really seems to ignore how many limbs the arachnids should actually have
>>83999009look at this scorp
When it comes to bugs, do you consider yourself straight, gay, or bisexual?
>>84013422Definitely bisexual, will sex the bug no matter the sex of the bug
>>84013422100% Bi. I want to befriend the bugs, fuck the bugs and and let the bugs fuck me. Sad there are very little art for bugs anyway, let alone a bisexual threesome one.
New moth thing in palworld update apparently
>>84014693Kinda hot
Drew another bug for Art Fight.
>>84015933A very cool drill bug
>>84013422I am bugsexual
It may be only the larvae that eat clothes, but some habits are hard to get rid of
>>84005546I personally like the idea of cocoon-pupating bugs having their most-formal wear being made from the cocoon, with etymologically-inaccurate post-pupation instars giving the "teenager is a smaller almost-adult" effect handling this through design features like frills that get flattened out. Possibly to the extent that their parents weave the cocoon into the clothing as it's spun and it's on them to cut their child out at the right timing to both see them exit it developed properly yet also not ruin it with the natural weakening enzymes.
>>84023358Bugs using the silk from cocoons is always an interesting idea, though wonder how much material could actually be pulled from that and if there would be significant business of tailors just buying the silk off of families (or potentially farming it through less than moral means)
A sequel!
>>84026675a sequel to what?
>>84027909To the significantly older little bundle of pictures this one is from.
thoughts?https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=29111
>>84030592Interesting, though wish there was more detail to it
Anyone have art of cute centipede girls?
bzzt <3
>>84031843Certainly have a few
screw the guys posting rimworld last threadI've tried it and got addicted hard
>>84038071Done any Geneva Convention violations yet?
>>84038071I'm happy for you, I'm still making a new modlist and haven't played in a while.
>>84045907put that thing away.
>>84046225Not a fan of proboscises?
Gonna dump all the art I got of my funny bug characters from Art Fight so far.
This one is probably the strangest one I gotten. Never seen someone make fanart on a rock.
This one features mantis characters from other people.
and that's it for now.
Hey chuds I'm trying to download Twitter profiles. What do you suggest since most things suck now.>>84049218Tbh I respect people on AF who are creative and do weird shit.
>>84049298Not sure of each individual script's quality but greasyfork probably has some sort of download helper script for that
>>84040749if chopping human invaders into kibble counts as one then yeah lol>>84041283playing vanilla for now, any must have mods you'd recommend for the future?
>>84054888I can throw a collection your way, but I'm on 340 mods and I've decided to use RJW for the first tie in 2.7k hours of playtime.But you can just pick and choose what to get and not get.
>>84055075sure, sounds fun
>>84057158https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails?id=3764083491And picrel is the RJW mods I decided to use, still feeling my way with that huge mod. A lot of stuff I don't need, but it's all optional, you can just toggle unpleasant things off and it's all good.RJW isn't on steam, you have to visit their Wiki and look for the addons you'd like there.https://rjw.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page
>>84033504>>84033509>>84033888>>84033947>>84033956Love bug boys, though >>84033519 looks closer to a lizard with multiple arms than a bug
>>83997206Kogito is the GOAT.
>>84062671Wish he would draw more bugs nowadays, though at least there's another artist capable of mimicking his style rather well and draws bugs a bit more often
We live in a society
>>84079648Just a bunch of freeloaders
>>84080337Indeed.Shout out to all those bugs with jobs
>>84082625And what an important job those bugs have
It is apparently national be nice to bugs day today
>>84086170as far as I'm concerned, everyday is be nice to bugs day.
>>84087359Cute long neck bug, apparently a giraffe weevil was originally supposed to be the save points in bug fables
getting cuddled by a centipede like how they take care of their eggs
>>84093127
>>84093217god i wish that were me
>>83997206hi
>>84095862the only one I liked was the scorpion guy, all the others sucked design wise
>>84099173the single piece of microwhip scorpion art.
Tag team wrestling WIP and my first and only bug girl commission
>>84103349Guess the offer of fruit built some trust
>>84105002>>84105012Bugs are easy like that.
>>84105393Better not let them hear you call them easy
>>84103815What kind of slug is that supposed to be?
>>84108271Sea slug, I gave him a reference pic of a irl purple/orange one for colors and am having him tweak her design to have a humanized jaw/mouth but still long tongueNot much of a bugchaser I prefer mammals and scalies but I put a poll out and seaslug won, the bug girls I like are moths
Here's chapter 41 of The Howler!>https://archiveofourown.org/works/61103611/chapters/235147446I don't think this leaves much question of what the final chapters will look like. It's okay. He's made it this far. I'm sure they're in good hands.Also, I've got even more art!This time it's of Nestiri. I really love this one. I wanted to make him a bit of a martyr figure, since he's meant to be the ideal Fyrix who still has faith in the system even as it's chewed him up and spat him out. The setting sun makes a bit of an aureole, but I didn't want it to be explicitly christian so instead of a cruciform I went with the radiance as flower petals. Then you have the goopy background, and even though it's meant to be the plants and sun of the bleeds, it's also his faith being eroded away as he struggles to remain the virtuous Fyrix he was.
Read this in a fanfic and I wonder hornet would be so fond of Mammalia creatures and would love to headpat them
>>84108761Nice, had seen that one on bsky, was wondering when you were going to post it. As expected, Eigen was quite distraught to find Nithry missing. I know we've been exposed to Fyrix culture for a while now but it still feels weird to see the one saying Eigen should have left from his service to Nithry even if he did save his life. How unexpected for Eigen to stir up the fervor of the crowd like that though, certainly on the war path now, and depending on who encounters the fyrix duo first how they interact with Eigen can change drastically. Will say though, I assume part of it is just so it's more legible to readers, but Eigen has seemed to jump quite far in his fluency of the Fyrix language (including a fair number of words that seem sort of weird for him to know, even if the true wording is much less articulate)
>>84108761Looks like Eigen has finally became the fantasy protagonist that he's deluded himself to be, given that heroic speech that he just did (he became quite proficient in Fyrix hasn't he?). He's never going to snap out of it at this point (Plus I bet there a gravestone with his name on it back on Earth). Also, notice that humans had just started a coup within the first alien species we just met. Even when insane, the human's conniving nature still comes out in the end, this galaxy is not ready for the "Howler".And that's a fine pic of Nestiri right there, the patron spirit of the ideal Fyrix that was torn down by a race that was within their Industrial Revolution when he started his service. Who would have seen that coming?Also he's looking very fine in that loose clothing with the gaps on his thighs but shhh don't tell him that.
>>84109918>Eigen has seemed to jump quite far in his fluency of the Fyrix languageYeah, it's a little tough. Some chapters back I made Nithry point out some of the weird words he was using and questioning where he'd even learned them, which was my best attempt at making it seem like he had a vested interest in learning weird words the fit into his worldview, but I might tweak it later when I do a final polish. I'm banking a lot on that talking to bugs for like a week is believable enough to become mostly proficient. >>84110112>Also he's looking very fine in that loose clothing with the gaps on his thighs but shhh don't tell him that.Lmao, I didn't think it was that bad! Though when I showed a friend of mine they said he was "Looking very slutty" and I considered changing it, but the Fyrix are supposed to be a little flamboyant!
>FAVORITE INSECT (IRL)?>FAVORITE INSECT (FICTIONAL)?>FAVORITE INSECT-HEAVY MEDIA?>FAVORITE INSECT(OID) TOY?>HAVE YOU EVER HELD A BUG AS LARGE AS YOUR PALM?>WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF BUGS?>IS THERE A BUG BEHIND YOU RIGHT NOW?
>>84115459FORGOT THE IMAGE
>>84115459Mantises and bees share number 1 for IRL favourite insects since mantises are just absurdly beatiful, while bees are absurdly nice and are the one of the only domesticated insects and they even look great.I can't even say that I have a favourite insect character or fictional species since so much of my love and attraction for them stems from IRL. I guess there's a nice HMOFA story called "Bug in The Stars", but Tyra (picrel) is an arthropod alien, not an insect.Open palm or just cross the shorter part of my palm? The biggest insect I've held was a large mole cricket.I am alone in most of my circles as far as insect/arthropod appreciations goes.I hope there's no bug behind me because today I woke up because I got bit 6 times by a bedbug and I killed one, hope it's the only one.
>>84115826>picrelSorry, I'm retarded
