my take on my favourite characters Sam and Natasha from Victor Pelevin’s novel “The Life of Insects”. Sam’s a (male bloodsucking!!) mosquito, Natasha is a greenbottle fly. xD yay.

…Oh yeah, in one part of a book, Sam gets drunk from some shmuck’s eau de cologne when sucking his blood (…when he’s… tiny. MAKES SENSE IN CONTEXT)

I'm going to have to find this book. It sounds pretty awesome. :D

Great picture! I especially like Sam's look--as an insect and human. And Natasha has some lovely eyelashes for a fly.

I recommend it!

Thank you. x3 Hmm, maybe it's part of her bodily hair that looks like eyelashes, hahaha

Does this mean Sam was once a girl who had a sex change?

Maybe? But that doesn't explain a cicada turning into a cockroach and an ant growing up to be a fly... xD

This has nothing to do with your post (please don't kill me!)
But I just was wondering if you had a bee (I know you have a wasp) or a praying mantis character (I think you do) tn my mind started wandering. I was trying to think of bugs for you to draw and I thought of a cockroach.First thought was 'nah to typical' then I thought of a rollypolly in your design and I could only think of it being a henchman sort of character, because I imagined him to be of round figure...then it was sort of funny that a rollypolly would be a henchman...'cause...it's...a rollypolly....-slowly starts to walk away-

uh, I just rambled....I hope you have a good day!

I've been thinking about bees (particularly a bumble bee)! and a roach. xD Well, there'd be two cockroaches - one loosely based on Steve Roach and a different character, hahaha.
Henchman? Maybe some character, depending on their job, could use an assistant ffff

xD

I couldn't help eavesdropping on this thread (does this count as eavesdropping exactly??) and I think those are all cool ideas! I have a suggestion of my own though- have you ever considered making a carrion beetle character? They're very colorful and interesting creatures, I think you could make one be a cool gravedigger or pallbearer or even a reverend type because of their association with the dead, but then again being so bright and colorful too maybe you could create some form of a flamboyant vaudeville entertainer or circus performer...just throwing random ideas around. :D

A bumble bee character would be so tight! (I love bees so much aha). I hope to see your development on the bee and perchance these two roach characters~!
and yes..henchman x) I just imagined as the sort of round dim-witted character that are shown so much as a villains sidekick...and with that particular, almost newsboy, sort of hat tipped over a bit on the eyes haha. (I'm just thinking of the bloke from 101 Dalmations right now, but the use of a short, fat, dull-witted henchman accompanied by the tall, lanky, slightly more cunning henchman seems to ring in films with particular villains)
Anyways, I dig all of your characters they're a thrill :)
