A earwig character in the style of Hollow Knight. They are wearing brass goggles and a hood over their head. They have four legs and a set of twiggy arms.

Fuck it Silksong OC
This is Myca. They study mushrooms, spores, and would prolly give some red tool to Hornet that would throw a vial and create a poison cloud for enemies to walk into.

Sidereal OC Birthdays, December 4th- Kaus, the First Flame; the Shapeshifter

Forgotten ember of a fire long burned out, you will be there when humanity begets their end"

Sidereal OC Birthdays, December 4th- Astraeus, the Starry Sky

a scene drawn in pen and colored with some desaturated oranges and browns. it depicts the aftermath of a fight between some bugs and a larger, worm-like creature. The worm body stretches limply across the scene so we only see a fraction of it, but it has many cuts and punctures in its exoskeleton. There are also numerous pins still stuck in between the segments, and there's a larger hollow-headed spear that was stuck in but has fallen out. Clinging to the shaft of the spear is a severed arm. There is also the corpse of a mantis crushed under the bulk of the beast's body. Rosaries and blades and rocks are scattered over the ground.

An embroidery on bone white linen. There is the faint outline of a hand, fingers apart. The hand is filled with thick dark blue lines intertwining and crossing over. There are finer thin lines in bone white beneath the thick blue lines. At the wrist, the thick blue lines end in strands of thick thread, hanging over the edge of the linen.

a pale purple-blue ceramic dog type animal held in my hand. it has shiny black eyes, long legs, no teeth and a snout with no nose or nostrils. it has floppy ears and a generally greyhound-like build. its expression is faintly startled.

the same ceramic dog creature standing on paving. the inside of its mouth and around its eyes is pale pink, and its tummy is cream coloured. its blue colouration blends softly with its cream-white underside. it has a long, faintly feline tail.

Another OC based on a Quiz I made yesterday!

His name is Whisp (very creative I know lmao)

He looks sweet and innocent, but he's actually a bit crazy and likes to ignite stuff xD

I think you lose a few marbles in that Cult tbh xD

An illustration of a light brown anthro moth wearing a yellow tank top and a jumpsuit tied to the waist. He is sitting on a stool in front of a metal workbench, examining a component from a machine. He is illuminated by a large hologram showing diagrams and graphs, and is surrounded by many things. The entire room is cluttered with tech, weapons, cables, while the walls are filled with meters, orange crt screens and such. A window leads to the outside, showing a purple nebula in the dark reaches of space. The room extends into darkness beyond a locker with a jumpsuit and some personal assets.

One of the bipedal centipede sketches taken to finish. It has a long black body, with gradient teal-blue limbs and smaller centipede legs along its length. Its head is orange, and there is a floating black triangle between its antennae.

Probably not the best timing haha but would folks be interested if I did a few 15euro (18$) Hollow Knight/Silksong/Bug Fables OC chibi commissions?

A drawing of a creature known as a moorscrag. On the left is the full-sized adult creature that resembles an eldritch stork. It is tall, covered in matted brown-grey feathers and has bald patches down its front. Hanging from the front are six backwards-facing taloned limbs. Its head is long and narrow with no eyes and a striking red bump at the base of the beak. The beak itself is covered in rows of thin teeth.

At its feet is the comparatively smaller chick. It has the same limbs as the adult only much smaller and the fur is soft and purple-ish.

On the right of the image are drawings of the adult and chick moorscrag with their mouths open, exposing the strange patterns on the interior of the beak that resemble sets of white eyes with red sclera.

What's that ominous shadow stalking through the fog on the moors? Why, it's the moorscrag!

Named for its preference for hunting on the moors at dusk & dawn, especially during foggy days, the moorscrag's weapon of choice are those gangly talons that can strangle its prey to death.
