#0012: Butterfree

Another gender variant, so two for one!! Top right is Acmboppf (ACK-em-Bop), and bottom left is Aboaf (ah-BOW-aff). I did mention the naming convention turning into a word salad, didn't I? These guys suffer worst of all: Acmboppf actually has a type-o and is supposed to stand for "I can't make butter or pie for free" and Aboaf stands for "a butt or a free" which are just SO bad. At least the other two ended up with cute names. Anyway, they're informally called Ack and Abo to save them from fate of their legal names. Ack is "Brave" and "Mischievous," while Abo is "Naive" and "Likes to thrash about." When I saw this, I thought "sibling-coded," so I imagine Ack teases Abo in an older brother way–like a "there's gullible written on the ceiling" kind of way–and Abo TOTALLY just thinks he's serious until the punchline. She'll then go off at Ack the way younger sisters tend to do. (Basically, they're me and my brother when we were kids XD) Ack better watch out though, since Abo is the one who can GMAX!! artist notes under cut

I have an awesome idea for a follow-up for this when I am more comfortable with wing shapes and forms XD I'm excited to get better! Bug wings are hard because they're meant to be symmetrical. These are my first bug wings so they are NOT symmetrical, but they're not too terrible either. Usually the ones I model off the original art turn out better, but this is an exception–I think Abo actually looks better than Ack, especially considering I had zero lighting reference for her. I like the little head-cock to the side, it was fun to figure that out (and easy to practice because her head is a circle, meaning the antenna and eyes are key). The different wing shapes made Ack more difficult despite having the pose and lighting ref.
