I find it funny how in the Stray fandom right now, one character (Guy A) is being shipped with two different people (Guy B or Guy C), which is obviously otherwise normal in any media that involves more than two unrelated characters, except Guy B is Guy C's dad. Neither side of shippers has acknowledged the other's presence and both are equally prevalent
I meant to finish up more sketches for this but. Found out 4/5 of my favorite games have silent protagonists
My sibling let me make a Wobbledog so here’s my beloved bug pup thing Seraph, in my attempt at making anatomical sense of these glorified Tootsie Rolls
Both of my mad scientist characters, but drawn as the video game characters they were most inspired by (Ne'Mon as Monomon and Tawny-Buzzard as Doctor H.B)

Angler and Magma are, too, some of my older and closer-to-my-heart OCs and here they are!
Anglerfish is a SilkWing/SeaWing whose mother kindofdrownedherfatherandleftheratthebottomoftheocean. Not too strange for Wings of Fire parents, though, amiright?
She roamed the depths of the seafloor figuring herself out for a while before deciding to take a risk and find purpose in her life, discovering the surface is super hot and weird and bright, not helping much that she stumbled onto a volcano isle with a stranger who didn't understand her at all.
Magmacore was aptly named for her seething bright insides. After her parents both, collectively, abandoned her, no murder involved, for seeing her winglessness as a mistake, Magma survived only a few days before she found herself heavily wounded in what she thought would be an anti climactic end to her lifetime. There is strange magic in the isle though, and blood spilled incited, interestingly enough, the life-fluids in her core to transmute into boiling lava.
She spent the rest of her life living alone on the sands, hostile to any who wandered near, until a strange pale dragon swept to shore.
There's another fullbody image of Magma, but it's disproportionate and I'll fix it later
Just as a note: while it's pretty straightforward on its own, here's more detail on how to navigate my tags (as I've prioritized them mostly for my own use).
-"Peridots-Art" vs "Not My Art": There's always one or the other. Peridots-Art is... pretty obvious (includes digital art, pixel art, written work, etc.) and Not My Art usually refers to reblogs or me just talking about a random subject.
-World Tags: Pretty much always on anything with the Art tag. Can either be a fandom (Bug Fables and Hollow Knight, or WoF for Wings of Fire), or one of my personal worlds (Tonpterus, Mostly Mollusk).
-Character Category: Most posts with the Art tag will either be labeled "Canon", referring to a canon character from a fandom, or "Character", referring to my own characters--whether completely original or a fan-character.
-Specific Characters: Canon characters will have the respective fandom after their name, not always stylized the same as the fandom's tag (e.g. Quirrel HK). Characters of my own creation will only be referred to with their name, regardless of whether they belong to a specific original universe or not.
-Creature Category: Unlike the above three tags, this doesn't always pertain to art. They describe the (currently, only three) categories of species/characters in the post: Humans, Dragons or Bugs. That's all
[Start ID. A digital drawing of Minos Prime from Ultrakill, who's wearing a strapless slit dress and sandals of the same deep purple. He faces towards and slightly to the right of the camera, his head is tilted further right. With one hand he gestures in a vague pointing motion, his arm folded and held close to his body. There is nothing in the background, but bracing himself on one arm, Minos is implied to be leaning against something about the height of a countertop. The background is a blank purplish black, save for three diagonal stripes in the colors of the bisexual flag. End ID]
Shading study that quite literally came to me in a dream two weeks ago, after this post apparently beamed itself into my mind
(also a few edits below the cut! they're very slight but whatever :])
[Start ID. Three different versions of the previous drawing. The first changes the tone of the lighting from blue to pink, and similarly the shading from pink to blue. The second replaces the faint black border with pink, purple and blue, syncing with the stripes in the background. The third combines both these changes. End ID]
aint no rain's gonna break my stride
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!
