Bug Chilling Spot

A blog for my webcomic "RO.Bug" in the works - my art, inspirations and rants about the lore and the characters. Main blog @szkicel

[ro-bug]

Welcome to RO.Bug blog!

My name is Szkicel and this is where I talk about my upcoming webcomic about bugs!

I will be talking about lore, the characters (spoiler free ofc), reblogging things that inspire me (insects, nature, art etc), and I will answer any questions you guys might have regarding the project :D

I’m putting synopsis and character descriptions under the cut~

I’m also tagging this post with all the key tags, so it’s easier to look up things on mobile! I’ll be adding tags as time goes on~

Enjoy your stay!

The plot

Sayta & Neska are two cockroach sisters working as bounty hunters to put some food on the table. Sometimes Neska’s best friend Artun also tags along to help them out. They all live in the remains of a human house, where a lot of other bugs built their towns and cities.

Everything seems fine, until a certain someone walks into their lives to change them forever…

The Main Characters

Other characters

In order of appearance on the picture

Roden „Rivalle” - a mysterious person operating an RBD (Robotic Body for Disabled) from an unknown location. He’s a criminal but also takes bounties to earn some money - which is why he often gets in the way of sisters’ work.

Berin - Neska’s close friend and Rasha’s work partner. He’s a fellow bounty hunter with a cheerful personality. He loves exploring and history

Lucas - Artun’s childhood friend. They lost touch when Artun moved out of their hometown, but they reunited by accident in their adulthood. He’s a pretty shy firefly, but gains more confidence around Artun. Works as an assistant for one of the detectives at a police station.

Rasha - Sayta’s ex, who has a huge beef with her after their break up. She’s another bounty hunter, working with her best friend Berin. She’s pretty calm and reasonable, but kind of loses her patience around Sayta which leads to many arguments and fights. She likes writing poetry in secret.

something they don’t tell you about being autistic is that every character you write WILL end up autistic/autistic-coded whether you like it or not

[schlarklezyaoi]

same goes for being aromantic/asexual. every character WILL come out at least a little aspec

[schlarklezyaoi]

if you reblog this and purposefully remove the second addition i Will block you.

Hi I’m not dead, I’m preparing references for artfight (mostly drawing new ones)

and while i was looking through my sketches I remembered this character that I have

I designed her to be an antagonist for a one-shot adventure that isn’t related to the main story (like a movie that takes place after the story ends or during some unspecified time in the middle)

but ngl I like her design and personality so much that maybe I’ll try to make her a reocurring villain in the main story - ofc if she’ll fit, i don’t wanna force characters where they don’t belong

anyway i decided her name is Zero

Artun for @szkicel

I wanted to do a quick warmup and my hand slipped. I really like this guy for a lot some reason.
