Watching the progression into this rabbit hole you've been commenting through about the reproductive habits of arthropods brings me the most delectable joy. It has me genuinely intrigued on exactly what the creative result of your investigative adventures will be and I am not even into centipedes.

Art of a fairy pirate girl with dark skin, sprawled out in a filled beer stein full of froth in pinup style.  She is wearing a tri-fold hat with an ostrich feather, white ruffled shirt, corset, gold belt, purple dress and suede brown boots.  Her wings are covered with a treasure map.  The beer stein is sitting on top of a wooden table.  She has her feet crossed and in the air, one hand in front of her and the other behind her head.

A reference sheet produced by Kitsunuki Studios for the character William von Braun, a dhampir (half human, half vampire) with a few details about him and his history.  Always clad in dapper attire, he's wearing his favorite burgundy coat, purple gloves, cravat, vest, slick black slacks and wingtip shoes.
