✨HIVE megadrawing✨

You can view the quality version of the art with all the numbers 👉here👈

The quality of the og art gotten eaten a bit too, so here’s close ups :D

‼️Important note

If you recognise your number and would like to be credited (tumblr, name, etc.), please let me know!

This art contains numbers from old HIVE discord server (which was deleted), so some ppl’s @ might’ve been lost

🐻‍❄️< silly gathered all hivesona art she saw before server deletion, but forgor to screenshot the list of server members

You also free to stay anonymous of course 👍

I will wait some time before posting it on others socials to make sure the credits are alright 🫡

Also little reminder that the drawing is non canon, so we have a lil uniform fashion show in the corner there 💅 (all uniforms have to be grey colour)

Nöw

Lemme me do my usual rambling >:D

The giant took about 3 months +- (hard to count bc I worked on other projects in the same time💥)

Lemme tell u the planning was an actual investigation

(and chaos ofc)

(fun type of chaos :D)

Shoot out to Amari who helped me gather evidence🕵️ and Crimsom who helped me accidentally find a number I didn’t know about before❗️

Thank u guys you’re awesome ❤️

As I said before there are identified numbers, where I either only had a name/somebody’s vague pfp/a discord status 💥

I used standard anonymous crewmate design for ppl with no info

But tried to gather at least some info from old server screenshots for cues, like CR6548 Kura had different red emojis in their bio, so I gave them a rose strawberry crown and earrings 🌹🍓

For anonymous people with asks I added lil visual identifiers ✨

Part of me kinda wants to write a whole guide, but I think it’s more fun to discover things by yourself >:) *whisper* go reread #ney’s chatter

Fascinatingly enough, this drawing really enhanced HIVE as an eldritch abomination

This thing shifted and changed so many times

Constant edits 😭💥

When I planned out the composition I added the balcony as an extra space reserve for crewmembers

Ironically balcony stayed empty, bc I didn’t have enough ppl to fill it up with

Decided to put fandom characters that are associated with Captain’s blog and some alter egos

🗣️ HOWEVER 🗣️

When I finished lineart and posted Bumblebeedog comics

Ppl started creating new Hivesonas 🥺

Nobody can resist the Bumblebeedoggo 🐝

So had to improvise to put more and more ppl into different empty parts of the art 💥

🎶gotta add em all 🎶

This is actually my biggest work so far

Like literally

I usually draw on A3, but decided to go bigger and drew on A2 format instead

A2 is like 420 x 594 mm/ 16.5 x 23.4 inches (big boi)

Which was an absolute nightmare to scan 💥

But honestly really enjoyed the process, bc bigger format allows for more details

Also technical fun facts x2

Drawing program froze sometimes during colouring 💀

cue the anxious saves lmao

Anyway 👏

Hope you guys enjoyed the art and reading some of the backstage ❤️

Hey Ney >:)

Hope u like

Hit me up if u would like the link to 4K version of the megadrawing™️

I've been extremely busy with life at the moment, but OMG this made my day. The way I started to go hysterical over how amazing this looks. I felt like a mother seeing their child all grown up seeing my boy in there. I love how fluffy he is, not to mention how he accidentally (or on purpose, he schemes) startled somebody lol. You're amazing Bear.

*Slides this into frame while giggling and kicking feet* I have finally finished this piece LMAO. I'm currently in testing season, so I had to put this piece on hold for a bit. Worth finishing. This is a rough draft, and I plan to make more art of Ivo.

This is Ivo. He is a humanoid moth, or mothman, take your pick. He is based on the Buff Ermine moth. He's a ship technician. He fixes up a lot of things, there's not a lot he doesn't repair or create, and he enjoys his job a ton, more than interacting with others. There are only a couple of other people on the ship that he will spend his time with and enjoy the company of, @emthesteves 's oc Hopken is one of them. I'm going to make other posts about Ivo to explain to him more lol. Meow meow.

@braisedhoney is the creator of HIVE, and @talesaboardthehive is the official blog for HIVE stuff, check it out, it's awesome.

'Just another day, it's juuuust another day'

"Who am I kidding, the hell it is" he says as he lifts the new metal plate in the now empty honeycomb slot. Everything was going as beautiful as Ivo wanted, perfect even, UNTIL he got comm'd by COLONY saying some crewmates idiots disobeyed orders and destroyed one of the few non-flameproof areas in the gigantic ship. To top off this annoying situation, Ivo has to be extra delicate for a reason he's not classified to know about...fun.

"Why is it that some people think it's okay to just.....play around with fireworks in an area that has a sign that EXPLICITLY SAYS "Caution: The current area is prone to fire damage, DO NOT play with fireworks or anything in that manner". Man was he peeved, but at least he was finally able to place these new panels in and to, hopefully, NEVER have to do any repairs in this area AGAIN. For a little while at the very least, or he could just put this work on someone else. Those two thoughts were the only thing he needed to bring his mood back up and get back to work. Because at the end of the day, this is just something that CR#0800 deals with all the time.

First ever post on Tumblr, and it's about HIVE lol. @braisedhoney is the creator of HIVE. The official blog for the HIVE is @talesaboardthehive . I'm currently still in the process of making a big rough draft art piece for Ivo, but I will try and post little yap drabbles about him so you guys get to know his character more 🥰. Shout-out to @beartitled for getting me into HIVE. Meow meow.
