Normal Beetles: coming to stationary near you (not really, but wouldn't that be fun?)

simple cartoon designs representing real beetles.
upper left: "Xen" is a Xenomorphon. A wingless beetle who cries easily. He always wants to watch the same three movies.
upper right: "Atra" is an Atractocerus. A very long and flexible beetle who can fit in narrow areas. He gets nervous in big crowds.
lower left: "Clav" is a Claviger. A beetle who is always showing up in places without having been invited. He's a nice guy, though, so everyone is usually okay with it.
lower right: "Para" is a Paratuposa. A very small and light beetle who is blown around by strong wind. She brushes her wings for two hours every day.

simple cartoon designs representing real beetles.
upper left: "Cal" is a Calodromus. A beetle with long legs who actually hates running. When he gets angry, he kicks things.
upper right: "Platy" is a Platyrhopalopsis. A shy beetle who loves peace and quiet. She always gets nervous when it's her turn to order at restaurants.
lower left: "Kero" is a Cerocranus. A fussy beetle who cares a lot about his looks. He is often late to things, because he gets distracted by mirrors and windows.
lower right: "Ness" is a Cnestus. A small beetle who knows a lot about mushrooms. If she starts talking about something she likes, she will never stop.

simple cartoon designs representing real beetles.
upper left: "Mike" is a Micromalthus. A pleasant beetle who always tries to look at the bright side of things. People ask her when she will get married, but she says she is happy by herself.
upper right: "Koto" is a Coatonachthodes. A small beetle with a big tail that looks like a termite. Her tail isn't alive, but sometimes she talks to it when she thinks no one is listening.
lower left: "Mel" is a Meloetyphlus. A loud beetle who loves the sound of her own voice. Even though she has a huge head, she forgets things easily.
lower right: "Trak" is a Trachelismus. A beetle who can always see over the crowd at concerts. He has been getting into origami lately.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a hand holding an envelope addressed to House on the Giant Turtle’s Back. Panel 2: a postal worker, holding the envelope, stands on the rocky shore of a sea before an enormous tortoise trudging through the water. It has some trees and a house on top of its shell. Panel 3: the postal worker looks back down at the envelope, looking emotionally debilitated.

a color drawing of alina, a young girl with tan skin and dark hair styled in two braids. she's wearing a gray band t-shirt and pulling a sign of the horns hand gesture in a heavy metal sort of way, sticking out her tongue for good measure.

a little tiny microscopic dragon, rotifers passing by. I've spent a lot of time peering down a microscope in the last few years, enjoyed taking inspiration from the real tiny organisms to make one of my own.

Watercolour and pencil illustration of a microscopic dragon sitting on a plant root. It's body is transparent and it has two rounded wings covered in beating cilia hairs. It has a long neck and blunt snout with long whiskers. Inside its neck, large jaws are visible and it has tiny black eyes.

The dragon has large claws on its feet, like a water bear, and a long segmented tail hangs down and splitting into a fork at the end. From the root, golden diatoms are growing, and sun animalcules creep along it as a group of rotifers swims past.

Haven't used bsky in forever! I'm not gonna fully catch it up to my insta feed, but I'll at least post one of the backgrounds I did on Midnight Oil (and maybe some other stuff in coming weeks) - especially as firefly season quickly creeps up on us

Forgot to post it on-time here, but #funguary week 4 & final - Cosmic! (which I mis-drew as "Celestial," but same diff) 🌟 Went with the violet earthstar, Geastrum violaceum. I really like how the shading turned out on this one! It's been fun getting back into digital #funguary2026 #illustration

#funguary Week 3 - Immortal! 🪷 For this week's theme I went with Podoserpula miranda, aka the pink pagoda mushroom. It's a critically endangered species,which alongside the angelic, fountain-like look felt like it played nicely with the prompt #funguary2026 #illustration #podoserpula

Doing @feefal.bsky.social 's #funguary! Week 1 was Decay... decided to go with Engyodontium aranearum for this one - a fuzzy fungus that specializes in infecting cellar spiders, transforming them into ethereal lacy shapes Trying to get a feel for screentones this year! #funguary2026 #illustration

Pervushovisaurus and Baculites friends

It’s finally the 24th for me (if it’s not for you, kill yourself :3) So it’s club penguin’s 20th anniversary today, so to celebrate, I made a background inspired by the style 🐧 Club Penguin was big apart of my childhood and sad it’s been 8 years since the shutdown :( #clubpenguin

Sometimes a mandragora root just has bad vibes. New public post up on Patreon. www.patreon.com/posts/mandra...

A black and white comic. A young witch is hard at work in her garden.
"Boss?" she intones to an older witch behind her.
"Problem?" the older witch responds.
"Yeah," the young witch replies.
The young witch pulls out a mandragora root that appears to be surly. Instead of screaming, it grunts.
"Weird, right?" says the young witch to her mentor.
"Mhmm," the older witch grunts, in agreement.
