Heya, I'm Peridots, your average digital artist/entomology enthusiast—they/it/he or any pronouns, please! Haven't actually posted much art in quite a while, so be prepared for occasional Bug Facts and other such randomness. Spam likes and such are all appreciated here! Terfs, zionists and the like can turn 180° for free, however! Profile art by original-character-chaos—oooooh looks like someone sent me perfectly pfp-shaped gift art of my sona a little too close to april fools!

Been doing more icons for the past day! Here's a Heath and Crass as I finish the others
i am Struggling to draw this man
siblings siblings siblings siblings
(bonus: reversing the filter that un-reddified Hornet and Kabbu made Ghost and Hollow's masks look like those small pastel rainbow marshmallows so)
Fun thing I learned today: wielding a foot-long knife while listening to Radiance by Christopher Larkin causes an intense desire for violence
if you still have time and want to draw more ocs uh! I only have three and you can draw any of them, these dudes are also tagged as "hk ocs" on my page if you need more references!!
I would like to hug him 👀
them
(plus a wingless Angler under the cut because.)
Though it’s been a year since I was active in that fandom I do have the urge to draw WoF stuff, I just don’t know how to cater to my newly found “everything has to be anatomically accurate” side without thoroughly disregarding canon
Recent post made me think about giving my three HK dudes some new icons
nerds. what are they talking about
I return with some stuff that is still self-indulgent but now also fandom. Snakemouth dragons
baby man
baby man
It started off as a joke, I doodled it so I wouldn't forget, then I wanted to elaborate on their designs a bit so I spent like six hours doing that, and finally I decided some parts looked too blank so I spent another >6 hours with that: My characters Carmine and Kalanchoe as Runaway to the Stars aliens (species of @jayrockin !!)
Misunderstood the anatomy of a drawing so bad I had to make a character about it
Peach Tea!
A 28-year-old human...cat...centaur...thing who lives sometime in the 23rd century on Earth. She likes the 1980s and fabrics and consequently neon-level bright colors, though ancient fashion generally wasn't made for hexapods so she's had to make a few personal changes. She's a tailor for people with unconventional body plans, whether they need more sleeves for extra limbs or can't fit into gloves or their torso isn't the right size or shape for a shirt.
Tea's 6'8"/178cm when bipedal (though usually isn't very comfortable standing/walking upright, mostly owing to her short limbs), 5'1"/155cm when in her default quadrupedal position, and about 2'6"/76cm at the shoulder when hexapodal. She's probably around 180lb/82kg? All of her feet are hands. The fingers of said hands aren't particularly suited to bending backwards, so she walks on her knuckles most of the time.
She looks sort of startled/uncomfortable here but her resting face is somewhere between the ones in the upper left and lower right. She's usually pretty content and laid-back, if moderately blunt.
Ok it's been two months and I haven't finished any of the three things related to it that I've been working on for two weeks and am also impatient so it's Dishonored. Dishonored is the new hyperfixation
Maybe it's a bit unexpected for the bug games artist, but I rented it around six years ago and only got to the flooded district, I've been occasionally wondering about it since, so I bought it December 31st and now I'm midway through the Brigmore Witches with half the achievements and a Clean Hands run completed
some Hornats
Some Ghost half-sketches, because my art style has changed so much in the past three weeks that I don't know what's happening anymore
they share a birthday...
thinking about Them
Crassie was originally a D&D character from around seven months ago who was significantly based off of Hollow Knight (specifically the Hunter), and used to exist in this strange AU I'd made where most creatures were bugs but humans also were a thing, before I decided to make her an actual world. I have an old sketchpage of her not shown here
Heathrow has existed for a week and a half
i was randomly looking at a bug fables related tag and saw the fakemouth au post and hi hi hello person from the Neo blog that posted about that here (there were a few of us running that lol) and i feel idk honored? that someone drew something for an old au of mine definitely wasnt expecting that especially a post so recent dsvgtrftb
:DD
The Moth of Snakemouth Den, and Bugaria’s Leading Expert in Archaeology
Read the Team Fakemouth swap au by @professorneolith and felt compelled to make this (it's actually relatively short and that blog hasn't been active in a year but idc!!)
(Headcanons, with spoilers:)
- Both moths are the same age as they are in canon, but the whole Snakemouth Lab: Cordyceps Failed Experiment thing happened significantly later, Neo's team is a different, younger one than canon Leif's, and all its members are still alive. (With the technical exception of Neolith.) Leif was never an explorer at any point in time.
- Kabbu got into Bugaria the same way as canon (and never got to enact his revenge on the Beast). Leif was the one who met/helped Kabbu in the Lost Sands this time, and Kabbu and Neo have no relation besides briefly meeting post-Snakemouth in the Outskirts. We don’t actually know anything about Eetl’s backstory but it’s safe to assume it’s the same as canon here.
- Vi ran away to the Wasp Kingdom instead of the Explorer's Association. She was/is general under Hoaxe (I always thought Fuff became general during Vanessa's rule rather than Hoaxe's but I'm not actually sure?), though she's immune to his control.
Not sure how battle would go but I'm assuming that unlike Fuff who's boastful until his backup gets knocked down, Vi's better at combat, underestimated, and too hubristic for teammates.
Going to stop writing now so I can just post this instead of waiting two more days
the joy of finally discovering how to draw feet in a way that isn't just Flesh Slab
Attempted to draw some Nosks, but ended up getting sidetracked drawing Caramel's sisters instead so that's the post now
I've been experimenting more with overlays and bright colors
Really happy rn about the Leif art and uh. let me just say that all of the nice things people said in the tags mean so much to me!! This is like the most I've got on any one post and even if it's just like "cool" I will be thinking about that for 9 years!!
(Also worth noting that even if I'm not great at actually communicating with people, I like talking about my hyperfixations and I'm always willing to draw something as a request or whatever (might take a bit though!))
