I felt like drawing some angry Cybrid infantry-forms. You can follow me on my twitter at: https://twitter.com/waste_talent.

Hi! ^_^ You're welcome, it's no problem at all, I love talking about Cy-Bugs and Cybrids! Ooh, very nice, I'd love to hear more about the character once you get them sorted out! :D Ahhh, thank you, you're too kind! I don't know if I'm an expert, but I enjoy figuring things out about Cy-Bugs. ^_^

You've got the main classes down, they're based off of real world bug society. Some real bugs also have a male class called drones that are only for breeding with females, but since all Cy-Bugs are capable of generating eggs whenever they want, there's no need for drones in that capacity.

Baby Cy-Bugs are pretty good at taking care of themselves, as seen in the movie. The Cy-Bugs lay eggs willy-nilly in Hero's Duty, but in Sugar Rush, the bigger Cy-Bugs seem to be guarding the nest and look to be keeping an eye on them. So, there might be some that are more prone to nurture, even if it doesn't come out in gameplay. There's gotta be a quick way to replenish the diminished Hive in the minutes between games. So, there's a chance that besides the Queen, there's a group of them laying eggs throughout the Tower, the wasteland, and/or the canyons, if there's always a handful laying, then there'll be ones ready at different stages to hatch after each game.

The Queen is the largest bug in the Hive, but there's big boss-level bugs that can show up (based off of the video game, anyway), so they're probably a stronger Soldier class of bug that specializes in one kind of combat that varies between bugs and whatever they've eaten. (In the game, there was one that had large cannons and specialized in shooting, one that teleported and summoned several smaller ones, and one that shot ice cream.)

The game also has many different appearances for Cy-Bugs, though most of them are based on either real world bugs or technology that they devoured. You could possibly create a secondary class for some of these, like the bomb bugs that explode on impact or the candy bugs that shrink in size several times when you hit them. Likely they'd all fall somewhere under Soldier, though.

The Cy-Bugs in the Hero's Duty online game function a little differently than most, they all look the same, except as the game goes on, they change colors and become tougher and can deal out more damage. The in-game excuses are that they ate an ammo sphere, a exploding container, and a fire extinguisher, I think. The fire extinguisher Cy-Bugs have a white or silver shell, so they really stand out. After you go against the first one of a new color upgrade, all of the types of Cy-Bugs can have the new color, even the baby Cy-Bugs.

In one of the comics, a group of Cy-Bugs coordinated and swarmed together to make one giant Cy-Bug, there could be a Soldier type that helps synchronize bugs or plan things out, or it could just be the Hivemind that enables them to do that.

Some bugs in the games do not have the ability to fly, so Soldiers are likely split into ground troops and flying troops. Some bugs are able to shoot things at you, while others just run up and attack. So. even within the ranks of Soldier, there's some leeway in abilities/specialties. All baby Cy-Bugs jump at you, if I remember correctly, they're limited in what kinds of attacks they're able to do.

As for headcanon classes, I use an Elite Soldier/Queen's Guard for my Cybrid, which is essentially a Soldier dedicated to working closely with and protecting the Queen, instead of being out and about on the battlefield. Likely they'd be mini-bosses or bosses before the battle with the Queen.

The Cy-Bugs are military machines, so there could be some classes based off of possible military applications. They're adaptable, so they'll change into what they need. A fast flying scout bug could come in handy for spying on enemies, there could be invisible ones that sneak up on their prey, maybe some can make loud noises to distract people, or even ones that use bright flashes of light to blind whoever they're fighting. One of the coloring books has a Cy-Bug with wheels and I think there's a mention of bugs eating vehicles in the novelization, so there's some possibilities there.

Cy-Bugs aren't often reduced to one battle gimmick, at the very least they've got their claws and their teeth. Their special abilities depend on their size and whatever they've eaten.

There's a whole lot of possibilities out there, if there's something you want your Cybrid to be focused on, see if you can figure out a real world bug way to do it or if there'd be a way that your idea would have military application.

I got a little carried away there, but the main thing is, there are those three main classes you mentioned, but you've got a lot of wiggle room to customize them and really make them your own, while still working with what little canon that's been established.

PREPARE YOUR BLADDER FOR IMMINENT RELEASE

I'm free from school after today for spring break we only get thurday, friday and monday off along with the usual weekend which is pretty lame

BUT THIS MEANS I HAVE TIME TO DRAW so my Cy-bug Project is coming out of hiatus

if I'm happy with how the image is turning out I might post a wip on my doodle blog  so keep an eye for all these cy-bugs/cybrids  i think I have like....10 or so left to do which is pretty awesome  I love drawing these so it's wonderful and remember I am still open for requests so feel free to message me about them but please remember i will not do any NSFW images so please stop asking me

[rodentblood]

As in Anatomy, I have major problems with that but if you give little hints of how you to design a cybrid that would be cool. (/n\)

okay ;w; aha I’ve never really done a tutorial but I’ll see what I can do

[rodentblood]

So many cybugs

lkdfjalkj you guys are so great!~ I'm absolutely shocked at how many people have already sent in cybugs/cybirds for me to draw

I thought i'd get like four and lkdfjalkjdflkj I'm so thrilled I get to draw so many

Gonna be working hard these next couple of days that's for sure aha

But I would like to quickly make some things clear just so there's no drama or anything. Everything I post relating to this project will be tagged with Cybug Project  So if you want to keep track of updates in case something happens (like say I break my arm or something) you can easily find out by looking up this tag in either the search bar or going to my blog ( I'll make a quick link in my description ) Also If I get your image completed I'm not going to message you I will instead tag you in the post so you can track yourself to see if I got it done yet or not. Speaking of getting images completed I've received wwaaaayy more characters than I thought I would and remember since these images will all be fully colored and shaded it's going to take sometime getting them all done. Each picture takes roughly about 4 hours from start to finish and if I have to design a character, well, that's an extra half hour to hour of drawing.  So if I don't get your image done right away Please don't come demanding I finish it, It makes me feel bad that I can't draw fast so please just don't UnU You'll just end up making me sad and I'll probably end up going even slower. To make this little project a fun experience for everyone I would like it if people would just let me work and I swear everyone who sent in a request will get their image. Okay now that that's all said and done Thank you all once again for letting me draw your characters lkdjfaslkj I'm so excited  And I'm still accepting requests for this project so don't be shy if you want one all you need to do is send me a ref of your character UuU

Calling all cybugs/cybrids

I wanna do a thing a thing where I draw as many cybugs/cybrids/whatever-the-hell-you-want-to-call-them as I can I wanna draw A BUNCH OF THEM but I'm lazy and I don't want to make up a thousand cybugs

SO~

if you have a cybug/cybird character send me a link to a reference of them

and I'll draw them for you, yes, I will do this for each cybug/cybrid sent to me or if you don't have one but want one. Tell me what you'd like and I'll help design one for you. Because I want to and it'll be fun also if you want something specific tell me that too (but no porn sorry, unless you like sell your soul to me or something)

PLEASE I really want to do this

DEADLINE FOR REQUEST ENTRY IS MAY 1, 2013
