A pillbug. He's just Quirrel, a friendly adventurer who's good with a nail.
...Maybe keep him away from the bay. And the jellyfish.

So far, the only known lore regarding this subject is that most vertebrates (currently, Grek and Genni being the only exceptions, as Tan’s host has been dead since the frog went into hiding. The bodies of most other dead organisms have been reduced to bones) have gone extinct some undescribed quantity of time, and many terrestrial bugs have moved to the shores during this (giving a chance to finally reconcile with their amphibious crustacean kin), though nowadays life further inland is no longer uninhabitable. The vertebrate die-off is possibly due to radiation caused by humans inland, as insects such as cockroaches seem to be less negatively affected by it--or this is simply the reason for the invertebrates' migration towards the sea.

Fess: Ceras!
F: Come back in soon or else I'm eating all the anemone without you!
Ceras: You wouldn't!
(... (Ceras doesn't come back inside and continues doing Whatever They Doing.))
F (after some time passes): Ceras, I'm serious! The rip current's coming back soon and I don't want you to be caught in it!
C: Alright, fine, in a second!

C: ...Did it just get quieter?
: Wait.
: Oh no.

Lidii: What even is that?
Rantan: Obviously a sea slug, Lidii.
Gorge: Yeah, it's an aeolid nudibranch, Lidii.
Rantan: How--
Lidii: Well, I'm gonna eat it. It's obviously dead, and doesn't seem like either of you want to.
(Ceras arises.)
Lidii: Oh!
Rantan: 'Obviously dead', huh?
(Ceras looks around, the two insects look at them.)
Lidii: ...Is it sentient?

HELP
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.

ArtFight and subsequent art block has made me miss drawing other people's characters, and now I have an excuse to!
Please send me your HK ocs!! Preferably in an ask with some sort of reference image or a link to one, as well as a short description of their personality if possible!
(You can assume this is open until/unless I reblog it saying otherwise!)
Bee/Wasp appreciation post
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!))
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!
