Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling - Blog Posts
Here's something a little different than usual! I wanted to play around with some different designs, just for fun. I hope you enjoyed this week's installment of 'Slices of Gremlin'! I am going to continue updating every Tuesday, and if you would like to support the comic and get early access, you can sign up to be a member of the 'Little Creature Club' on Ko-Fi!
A little drawing of Leif from Bug Fables, because I really love his character arc and his lore. This little moth has been living rent-free in my head.
Some doodles of Leif from Bug Fables, with some extra notes from church tucked along the side! I have been enjoying this game so much, and this guy is my favorite. (And yes, Leif only has two arms in the game, but I felt like adding a little to his buggy-ness in my interpretation. 😛)
Chell and Monarch from Fractured Shell! I wanted to do some action poses with my little buggos~
Team Mothiva in the spotlight~! I've been wanting to draw these two for a long while and I finally sat down and made myself do it, lol.
Random funny thing: when I first played the game, I misread Mothiva's name as "MothVIa," and now I'm having such a hard time calling her by her actual name hsdjklfs

Leif's magic senses are tingling!
~~
More comic let's gooo! So disclaimer: If you're wondering why the art style changed midway through these pages, it's because I've gotten a new drawing tablet~! It has definitely helped to streamline the drawing process though, I will say.
(Also fun fact, pages 7-9 were the first pages I made. Yes, even before the prologue pages, lol)
In other news, I now have a master post for this comic! Hopefully that will make it easier for you guys to find your place when reading ♥

Team Snakemouth enters the fray!
I promise this is not dead, lol. Just took me a while to get to this. Eventually I will give this comic a proper "cover" image, but for right now, I'm gonna move ahead with the comic itself. Hope y'all enjoy~!
Behold! The BUGGOS as traditional RPG classes! (That wasn't what it started out as, but by golly, that's what it finished as, lol)
Kabbu is a warrior, Vi is a rogue, and Leif is a spellcaster!
Some headcanons I thought of while doodling this:
Vi's secret stash is full of stolen goods (Or as she calls it, "unknowingly donated" goods).
In place of his horn, Kabbu fights with a spear, though he may occasionally headbutt using his horn.
Leif is blind and uses his magic to sense the world around him (think like Toph/earthbending).
Random Leif doodle to practice some coloring/shading
As a random aside, every time I draw Leif my brothers call him Spiderman, and I stgif they do it again I'm gonna yeet them both out the window (ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻

Hi gang! I'm here to show off a Bug Fables comic I just started working, on: Fractured Shell. I don't want to say too much about it yet, but I hope you enjoy this first half to the prologue!
Did a doodle of Chell for an OC collab project @flame-shadow is doing with the BF community~
Chell's super shy nature might leave her as a bit of a wallflower at a get-together, but she's perfectly fine with that. Chell is happiest when she's able to easily blend in with a crowd.
It's been a hot minute since I've been able to do anything as far as either writing or drawing, so I'm gonna toss a doodle I did a while ago of me and my stream companion Enigma as Bug Fables characters ♥
Been a while since I drew the bug crew~ Also featuring my OC, Chell~
Have I mentioned that Chell is terrified of Leif?
I've been celebrating OC Love month in my Discord and we've gotta celebrate the antagonists as much as the protagonists! So here we go, introducing another Bug Fables OC: Monarch, the Summer Azure Butterfly!
Admidst the war-torn Western lands, a bug appeared among them whose strength quickly became something to fear: A Summer Azure Butterfly by the name Monarch. A bug who seemingly appeared out of nowhere, Monarch began single-handedly leveling villages one by one using all sorts of wild magic. His reputation was quick to spread around, that an insect had somehow managed to master multiple types of magic and was using it to destroy everything in his path. Fire, electricity, poison, ice... He could control it all! With that incredible power, it seemed that conquest was easily within his grasps. When one city was leveled, he was already plotting to take down the next. Many bugs who have heard the tale wonder what drives him to such extremes. Is it powerlust? Greed? Vengence? But one theory prevailed among all of the rumors: That whatever it was, it was likely related to the crystals emerging from his shell and the large scar across his chest. What happened to this bug to cause him to turn out like this? Was he born a monster, or was he created to be one? But most importantly... When would his reign of terror end?
Some fun facts about Monarch:
Monarch is mentally incapable of sympathizing with his victims because he does not see them as being as human (bug??) as he is.
He believes that those who possess magic are above those who don't, though he still sees other magic-wielding bugs as beneath him.
Monarch is usually very level-headed and doesn't let emotions get in his way. The only time his emotions will ever overcome him is when faced with tightly-confining spaces, as Monarch has extreme claustrophobia.
There is only one bug who knows about his past. Monarch believes them to be alive, but has not seen them nor has any physical proof that they are still around.
I've been seeing so many Bug Fables OCs floating around, so I thought I'd go ahead and share mine, too~! Introducing Chell, the Large Maple Spanworm Moth!
Several moons after the events of the Everlasting Sapling, a lone moth wandered into the Golden Settlement to make a new home there. Shy and skittish, she immediately caught the attention of the locals. The residents of the settlement tried to greet the foreigner, but the Large Maple Spanworm Moth was too scared and fled any time she was approached. After many attempts to socialize with her, Aria was the only one able to speak to her long enough to get a name out of her: Chell. It was the only information she could get before the moth retreated from her. Chell desires nothing more than to become another face in the crowd that people easily look over, but her skittish nature seems to have had the exact opposite effect. What could have happened to her to make her so scared of other bugs…?
Random fun facts about Chell:
Her mask is made out of an acorn shell. There is no eye hole because she's blind in her right eye.
She is extremely self-conscious about the right side of her face. The only reason her mask has a veil is to ensure nobody can see that side of her face.
She loves aphids and cochineals. She loves to admire them in the farm, but oddly opposes the idea of having one as a pet.
She ate one of Kut's dishes once and loved it. She wants to try more, but she's been too scared to approach the chef and ask for a meal.
Someone help me I have a bug infestation in my brain
Please tell me I wasn't the only one who thought Elizant was ready to go ham on those colosseum contestants after everything she had to put up with hsjdkflhsk.
When you want to add a character to Stream Avatars, but they don't have any attacking animations, what do you do? The only logical thing an artist would do: Make one myself!
I had to have Queen Elizant II as an avatar. We all stan a queen who SLAYS, and this woman was ready to THROW HANDS when her kingdom was in danger. Respect, loll.
Fun fact, this is actually my first finished animation is CSP, and I'm very proud of it~!
Toxic Bug Yaoi
For some reason Twitter really liked this Selfship Pic and I can't explain why, maybe they mistook my Beetle for Kabbu
