- Horns (spirally/twisted flat horns especially, as of late)
- Insect-like antennae/antennae-adjacent structures
- Long, expressive ears
- Dragons, but mammals and/or with fur (and one or more rows of scales centralized along the back)
- Long tails or insect abdomens
- Six limbs (middle pair often more resembles the front pair. used to be centaurs but now just four-armed creatures ig)
- Wings (usually insectoid, draconic or feathered)
- Insect-looking mandibles but they’re actually just modified teeth (likened to tusks)
- Five digits, opposable thumbs able to grasp stuff (to some extent) with sometimes paw-like feet
- Long necks
- Ocelli/smaller eyes that act like eyebrows
- Long canine teeth, four canines and eight incisors like humans (rest of the dental formula does not matter)
Some of the creature design tropes I always find myself circling back to are:
whiskers/barbels
birds with ears
toed hooves
long torso/ bi-to-quad movement
parrot, because i think their skull is freaky
small.
and more??
What traits do you folks find yourselves adding to a lot of your creatures?
baby man
baby man
i think that tthey should be bestfriends
I have made my own October drawing prompt for the fun of it (mostly for my own use but it's free to use of course) (inspired by bugs and some typical Spooktober things :>)
I feel like I was supposed to post this earlier but I have an ArtFight
[Start ID. A drawing of the Hollow Knight and Ghost, for the game Hollow Knight's sixth anniversary. Hollow passes to Ghost a cupcake decorated by an unlit "6" candle—Hollow's shown from the shoulders up, and Ghost is in full view as they sit on top of their sibling's head. The drawing is almost entirely in shades of cerulean, save for the pink clouds forming part of the background. End ID]
Happy birthday to them :]
[Start ID. White text on a black background. It reads "Dawn of The Final Day", and below that is "24 Hours Remain". End ID.]
There's a drawing I have that I'm pretty proud of but it's technically only halfway done so stay tuned for Shiny Dragons (TM)
gazaesims.com is a website dedicated to helping people donate esims for people in gaza. there are multiple options for where to purchase an esim to donate, for the price i listed you want to use nomad esims. then use the promotional discount code from this article (BACKPACKNOMAD) to get $3 off your purchase (note: this only applies to the first purchase you make on nomad) this discount obviously also works on the more expensive options too if you are able to spring for those! also it took over an hour for the email with my information to come through so don't panic if it doesn't show up right away.
[Start ID. An extremely sloppy and fast drawing of Hornet from Hollow Knight, with a clown's wig and nose, and the words "SLINK SLOG" beneath her. End ID]

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!
