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™️
Organized list of every crew number (and who it belongs to!)
The official list can be found in the original TalesaboardtheHive masterpost. Shoutout to Bear, as their HIVE mega drawing had several previously unlisted crewmates!

Hoofs clicked on the floor, walking aimlessly around the ship. Alker had just woke up, getting straight to work. She had learnt the times when the social species were mostly asleep, leaving the less social species and individuals up, a time where it was quieter and where she wouldnt be as bothered by other crew as much.
It had only been a few weeks since she joined the crew, hoping it'd help her on her search for her sister, but also help her with researching other alien species. However with her being a recluse talking to other people was hard so she let go a little, instead just observing from afar.
Where was it? Ah, there.
She made it to one of the storage rooms, soon grabbing the crate she needed, and.. time to walk to the other end of the ship without getting lost..
"Seems like not all the loud ones are asleep" Alker mumbled, watching the group pass by,
Well, couldnt be helped, times weren't exactly the same every day. The voidling sighed, walking off, paying no mind to them.
~~~
"so.. how long have you been here?"
"a few weeks."
"how come you never noticed me??"
"i keep to myself, you know this."
The smaller voidling looked up at her, Alker just chuckled slightly, putting a paw on her younger sister's head.
"HEY!" the younger voidling protested.
"oh hush, its just affection, not going to kill you." alker chuckled, rolling her eyes.
"you know, i thought i saw you the other day, but i think it was just someone that looks like you." Alker stated.
"oh?"
"in a small group, there were uhh... two blue people, a small red one and a green one around them."
"...Ate.."
"what?"
"that WAS me.. what do you mean you didnt think it was me??"
"i can see well, and i dont know everyone on this ship-"
Meant to post this yesterday but i was too tired- HIVE CREW! MEET CR1454! (or also known as Ń̷̘̮ỏ̷͈͚a̴̤̞͊̌h̴̼͚͔͐͝-)
Ref/desc: Peach skin, magenta glasses/visors, purple eyes, black hair and standard grey uniform. (Also on the shorter side)
Part of the linguistics department, likes to learn about different cultures, loves puzzles, codes/ciphers and studying new languages!
Often helps in sorting supplies and helping other crews with tasks (Always {wear a smile, act friendly, be nice-} cheerful around others and ready to help!) (when alone he usually wears a tired neutral expression)
Have a sweet tooth, loves baked goods, salty snacks and savoury food and favourite drink is H2O and milk, anything else besides juice or tea is an instant nope. (Especially coffee)
His first few weeks on the ship was rough, his circadian rhythm was already a mess before boarding the ship and being in space really makes it easier to lose track of time if it wasn't for the internal ship clock- so his sleep schedule is a mess and he barely sleep anymore than 4-5 hours a day. (Especially whenever he gets too invested in something, he would pull an all nighter just to decipher a new code he found-(you have to admire his persistence to solve anything as soon as he can without stopping(which can be a problem because he would get so distracted and hyper fixated on something he forgets to take breaks)))
Then there's the ship... A living shifting maze, at first it might sound kinda cool maybe even fun for some- but he quickly finds out how much of a nightmare it is to navigate...
He got lost so much the first few days he started having nightmares about it- in which after that he coincidentally didn't get lost much anymore. (based on the fact it only does it as a prank thus if there's danger or high stress involved it doesn't do that-)
Semi regular med bay visitor for... Various reasons he would rather not say- (May have fainted or been found unconscious a few times from exhaustion)
*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.
