Time to art dump part one-

I got a lot that’s mostly old pieces but also (not shown here ofc) couple of newish works bc of bug rp, so I’ll try and post all of the stuff I made so far until I think that’s all of them including a melrose story I made

Most of them will be Melrose ofc-

Is that a bee in your pfp and if so what kind is it :3/nf

Yeet it’s a bee! Supposed to be my bee OC Melrose to be exact, she’s specifically a western bumblebee!

Had to chop the image to get it to look right when I changed my pfp from that one image of a crab reaching out to the camera with its claw to the one I has now, here’s a link to the full image to see what it supposed to look like in its entirety!

What Bugs? Insects?

I know I already answered in our dm what kind of bugs each of the ones listed (at the time of posting this) are supposed to be but I will give a reason why Melrose is a western bumblebee.

I picked western bumblebee because it just came to me as soon I want to make a bug OC that’s a bee, also just so I actually got a bug OC of the sort before joining a specific bug rp community at the time (like when I’m still new to that community and another that’s connected to the said community). The exact reason for the specific choice of western bumblebee is due to a bumblebee (that I’m pretty sure is a western bumblebee from doing my research on what bumblebees is native to Canada) I saved from basically getting stomped/crushed to death by a kid younger than me at the time years ago during a summer for like a little school trip (or class session can’t remember) and moved her away to put her in a nearby bush where it’s safer so she can rest without any possible threats coming until she’d fly away later after we left the park.

Also because fluffy native bee-

Mmm yes another western bumblebee oc

Just made a quick thing to create a design of Florus who’s one of Melrose’s siblings, tried to make his neck fluff sorta flower-like in terms of like the typical six petals shape and didn’t put in the wings as it’ll be the exact same wing design as Melrose’s wings for all of the other siblings

Another request done for @spookyant! At least finished it before some stuff just happened to me and remembered to post it

The violence that’d happen would be like someone trying to take an angry cat to the vet but the cat is a fungus rat ant and the vet + someone is Melina just making sure the vat of royal jelly didn’t topple over

I also just realized I forgot the antennae for rat Vindi oops-

For anyone wanting a doodle from me, head to this link for the rules and still open at the time of posting this!

A thing of three bee OCs I made in jigglypaint a while back based off that one meme I can’t even remember where it came from-

The below are supposed to be Briar and Vesper with the last above them being Melina as a larva. Thought of Melina basically being much much uglier as a larva than her youngest sibling/sister Melrose as larva-
