Even though they are the enemy of every gardener, aphids are the cutest guys that look like they're made of green jello 🥺 They are attracted to the colour yellow!! 💛💛💛💛

An illustration of the insect aphids. Two bright green aphids are on a stalk of a plant, one has a watery drop of Honeydew behind it--which is a waste product aphids make. Next to them are two smaller spot illustrations: one is a cartoon aphid looking nervous while a cartoon ladybug holds up a knife and fork. Below that is a spot illustration of a cartoon aphid holding up a yellow crayon with two yellow hearts. In the background of this illustration is plain white with the word "aphid" in large text.

it's National Be Nice to Bugs Day!!!!!!!!! 🐝🐛🐜🐞🦟🦗🪲🪰 I've been drawing and learning more about different bugs to be less afraid of them, and it really helps! I love house centipedes now and they have really cute faces

A colour illustration of a house centipede. It's a 24-legged house centipede with its long legs extended out, three stripes down its shiny back, with two large antennae sticking out forward. This house centipede has been rendered for it's eyes to be bigger, so it looks cuter! In the right corner, a magnifying glass shows a separate illustration of an up close centipede face: it's face is broken up into segments, but it has large friendly eyes and its face has been cartooned to have a smile. Behind both drawings is the word "House Centipede."

put her in my wildlife journal :) at one point she was grooming her head like a kitty cat!!!!!!!!!! #makeaterriblecomicday2026

This image is a 3 panel comic: Panel 1: Me looking at a distant spider on the ground, it is jumping around. There is an arrow pointing to the small spider with the label "spider," with sweat drops around the word. Panel 2: An upshot of me with my hands on my head, looking aghast, with the word "gasp," looming large in the background. Panel 3: A closeup of a jumping spider with a speech bubble over it that says "You're so cute!," excitedly. In the corner of this panel, there is an aside spot illustration of me recording this in a book. The caption says "I identified her as a female Attalus Fasciger, also known as the "mottled jumping spider."

Project Hail Mary was fun I liked the friends

3 sketches depicting the 2 main characters from the film Project Hail Mary: 1) the character Grace, as portrayed by Ryan Gosling, leaning on a console, holding up a small figure of a man. this small figure is supposed to represent him. he is examining it with a quizzical expression. 2) the alien character Rocky, who looks like a rock-covered spider, lies in a ball exhausted. the caption says "a zoomed too much." 3) the characters Grace and Rocky side by side, both squatted in similar poses looking down and working on making a technological device.

part 1 of a comic showing the two main characters from Project Hail Mary: Panel 1: Grace stands in the foreground, Rocky behind him asks "Grace, want to see cool thing, question?" Panel 2: a close up on Rocky's hand and his three "fingers." struggling to turn. Panel 3: Rocky's hand now turning a bit more and his fingers struggling to open. Panel 4: a close up on Grace's face, watching in wonder. He thinks "holy moly, is he going to do a real thumbs up?" Panel 5: still a close up Rocky's hand. almost fully turned and his fingers are struggling so much to make a gesture!

part 2 of a comic showing the two main characters from Project Hail Mary: panel 1: a close up of Rocky's hand finally revealing the gesture he was struggling to make: a middle finger! Rock says "look!" Panel 2: Rocky says "vulgar human gesture!" Grace's shocked expression, aghast! Grace wonders "how'd he learn that?!" Panel 3: labelled as "bonus." Grace is kicking Rocky in his ball into the distance. the caption says "too mean, lol."

2 sketches showing the two main characters from Project Hail Mary: 1) Grace is lying down pretending to sleep, using his extended foot to hold back Rocky in his ball. Rocky excitedly is saying "grace awake-work to do-grace not sleeping." 2) a very tired grace standing with a coffee next to rocky, his eyes shut. Rocky is saying many things as speech bubbles surround and overlap each other: Grace needs to check astrophage dividing development, question--no alternative result that--grace! show me human visual culture artifact Ice Age 2--Eridian equivale-Grace! explain "kitchen"--why human sleep require additional materials, question -- Grace! if grace is 45 is grace infant question--and many more speech bubbles with "grace!" are peppered around.

Cropped preview of the cover for the comic anthology Pit of Eden. From a cut off Babylonian king statue, a mass of bodies, flesh, and flowers spew from its gaping mouth. The bodies are all golden and shiny and writhe in both terror and ecstasy. The statue in the background is underlit and crying this honey-like liquid. Behind it, the background is a a mosaic of broken pink tiles of archaic Babylonian-inspired designs.

👀 cover sneak peek 👀 I hope people are ready for the upcoming comic PIT OF EDEN from Malcolm Derikx and many artists! ⚱️🙌🍯

Cropped preview of the cover of the upcoming comic anthology Pit of Eden. Along the bottom is a sea of people, creatures, flowers and flesh in liquid gold. They bleed into eachother, some faces are in pain and some are in ecstasy as they are surrounded by golden viscera and transformed from one body to another. In the distant background is a large statue hand rising up from the sea of people. Behind that, the background is a pink mosaic with Babylonian-inspired designs, but it is cracked and broken revealing a dark hole.

Cropped preview of the cover of the upcoming comic anthology Pit of Eden. A large cracked statue of a Babylonian male figure is crying gold while golden human forms in a mass crawl out from the top of its head. It’s broken and falling apart and the human forms and spewing out eagerly. Behind the statue form is a pink mosaic background of Babylonian-inspired designs, but the stone is broken and cracked, revealing a black hole behind it.

WIP for a cover 👀

Black ink drawing over a pink to red gradient background. All over are a sea of people smiling and crying as their forms bleed and grow into eachother. There is intestine-like viscera, eyeballs, and flowers growing between faces while arms and bodies push themselves up from The fleshy mass.

He is a short, fat man in a bathrobe and close-tailored uniform with shorts. He has a eyepatch on his right eye, short hair, and a screaming expression. There is no background, but he is surrounded by speed lines showing his speed.

Behind him, and form hugs him, but their face is obscured by being pressed against the front figure’s back.

I had a lot of fun on this ‼️

Two men are surrounded by a dense circle of other men, all dressed in suits or uniforms. At the centre, the two men are doppelgängers of each other, and one shakes a strangers hand with a smile while the other twinned man is grappling him from behind with anger. The crowd of men around the two center figures are expressionless. The entire image is red with black shadows and bright underlighting.

I can’t stop thinking about Murderbot, it’s such a fun show

Fanart for the television show Murderbot, based on Martha Wells’ The Murderbot Diaries. The character Dr Mensah (a Black woman in a large, grey coat, depicted by Noma Dumezweni) stands above the character Dr Gurathin (a light skinned man in a grey jumpsuit, depicted by David Dastmalchian), covering his eyes. Dr Mensah has a solemn and grieved expression on her face, which Dr Gurathin, whose eyes are covered by Mensah’s hands, has a placated, passive expression. Behind them are soft clouds emanating up, with a spread of stars coming out at the top. Behind Dr Mensah’s head is a halo-like ring.
