I'm very new to animation but couldn't pass up the opportunity to include these pair of PNGtubers I had the pleasure of working on last year! There's so much more to show you and you can find it all at: 8bitbeetle.weebly.com

I don't even think that guy was a real travel agent ):<

A sketchy drawing of the same toony beetle tied to a rocket sailing high above the earth with the blinding sun and moon in the background. A lone satellite drifts past.
The beetle is glaring back down towards the planet while saying: "What the hell?? I can't even see my house from here!" with a text version of an angry frowny face.

🖼️ A commission for @gerret.bsky.social ! Guys, be careful with those newspaper ads offering free stargazing excursions; this flight doesn't even feature onboard dinning...or chairs! and the flight attendant keeps calling me a guinea pig 🐁

A drawing of a toony ferret with a sinister smile donning a skin tight black latex button up suit with red gloves and accents. In one hand he's clutching a remote with a big red button on it; his other hand is looming over the button with a single extended finger.
Beside the ferret is a large steel retro-futuristic style rocket with metal panels haphazardly nailed into the sides with wood nails; the seams of the plates are releasing hissing steam.
A rope is being tied around the rocket to the point of crushing and warping the metal by two white gloved robotic arms that retract back into two vents. A toon beetle is being tied to the rocket that is currently directed at a big cartoon red 'X' painted on the moon, visible through an opening in the missile silo.
The room is a brick walled dome with wooden floors and a metal, yellow and black stripped, plate where the smoldering rocket is sitting. In the background are various old computer terminals and crts displaying various parameters for the launch. The top display reads: Comedy Economy with a red line moving up on a chart. Below that display is a diagram of the earth and the moon with an arrow directing towards the latter.
A single text bubble from the toon beetle reads: "Can you run me through the plan again?"

My half of an art trade with @ritzzybitzyspider.bsky.social featuring their character Jho, an anthropomorphic yo-yo! 🪀 I'm glad I got the chance to help out with the design; such an awesome idea for a character! Please go check out Ritzzy's half of the trade, she did a fantastic job with Riley!

A painterly style drawing of an animated yo-yo OC from the series "The Amazing Digital Circus".
Her head consists of three yo-yos, one for the face and two at either side that mimic large buns; the string that comes down from these yo-yos act as arms, cinched at the ends with red bracelets to act as a wrist with split ends acting as fingers.
Her body is a large Diabolo mimicking a slim waist with the loose string strung around the midsection. Her legs are two Diabolo handles, crossed at the knee with rubber caps for feet.
She glaring at the viewer while swinging one loose yo-yo directly at the camera creating a motion blur.

Let me help you with that! I insist! 👐

A three panel grey scale comic of a toon beetle and duck.
First panel: the beetle holding their hands up towards an off screen duck saying: "I got ya!"
Second panel: The beetle being overshadowed while uttering: "oh no."
Third panel: the duck plopped on the floor resting their head on their head; elbow balanced on their knee. Their other fist rested on their hip looking down towards their tail feathers while saying: "Oh, put your back into it." The beetle's arms are poking out.

Guys, turns out you gotta actually PAY for the balloons. Looks like I'm working overtime :(

A 'bird's eye view' grey scale sketch of a beetle toon wearing a small Tex costume; they're peering upwards at a time clock reading 5pm while uttering: "uh.".
Below the clock is a sign reading: "Don't Forget. Clock Out." with the word 'forgot' crossed out in bright red. There is a Tex poster to the left almost out of frame along with a locked door to the right. Above the clock is a row of hooks with a single set of keys.

🖼️ A commission for @texsaber.bsky.social ! 🐯 I can't believe I met THE Tex Saber at the carnival today! He even gave me a FREE balloon! What a nice guy! 🎈

A detailed painting of boardwalk carnival. The painting features a saber tooth tiger mascot character named Tex; he's dawning blue shiny rubber pants with suspenders, bright red and yellow shoes, a red bow tie and yellow gloves.
Tex is gesturing to a bouquet of rainbow balloons tethered to the handrail of a push cart. In his other hand, he is filling a bright red balloon using a large tank of helium. He's peering down at a tiny green beetle toon wearing a swan balloon animal hat while 'walking' a red balloon dog on a leash.
The carnival consists of various stripped tents in blue, teal, red and white. Pennants in blue and red are strung on lines that cut above and below the two characters. There is a bright red roofed popcorn stand to the right of the pair, only barely visible.
To the left of the cart is a stand with a teal and white stripped canopy; on the table are Tex plushies and a single brown bear plush wearing a Tex costume. There is a yellow gachapon machine beside the plush display.
Behind the pair is a small merry-go-round with a white and yellow horse visible; its wearing a teal saddle. In the background part of a roller coaster and a ferris wheel are visible.

Surely this year will be different! Happy Pie Day (:

A three panel comic of a cartoon beetle.
In the first panel the beetle is holding a large whip cream pie above their head, exclaiming: "That's it! No more Mister 'Nice Beetle'!"
In the second panel the beetle is shocked, peering upwards at two twisting robotic toon arms lowering into view to take possession of the pie.
In the final panel the toon arms have crushed the beetle with the pie, leaving two dizzy eyes poking out and a single muttered: "Ough"
The underside of the pie tin reads: Happy Pie Day!!

If you see this, post a dragon 🐉 (this piece is from 2024 but I still like it)

a painting of a long, eastern style dragon in shades of yellow, brown, black and white splotches resembling a koi fish. It's soaring upwards, twisting and writhing against a purple and blue clouded sky.

I don't think I've ever shared this publicly but their design has changed dramatically over the years. If you were ever worried about changing up your sona, just do it. Nothing is set in stone, let your characters change with you.

part one of a timeline featuring various designs for the same character; Sashimi, a koi fish dragon. Their early design is bright orange and white, originally being half leopard gecko. During 2016 and 2017 they resembled a more traditional koi fish, spotted in colors of red, black and white. Their design becomes more recognizable in late 2017, shifting to the grey scale coloration of a platinum ogon.

The second half of the timeline featuring the more modern version of the character, a simple three toned grey fluffy fish dragon.

Beetle🏳️‍🌈🪲 (comms CLOSED)@eightbitbeetle· Feb 13

I guess a lot can change in 11 years...

A redraw of a scene from MLP:FiM featuring the same character with a dramatic coloration change. The new version, to the left, is a simple grey pattern and the old version, to the right, is a bright orange and white with brown splotches.

This group really went above and beyond. I haven't worked on something this big in a few years, so the direction they provided was greatly appreciated! Thank you all for your help! Looking forward to the next time we can work together!
