Happy #Mermay! I wanted to try doing a properly rendered piece with one of my many fish boy ocs~ This here is a frilled shark, floating in the deep... #ocsky

An anthropomorphic frilled shark. He has muted brown scales, and pale, fluffy brown hair, with large, reflective eyes, and a dull expression on his face. He is floating deep underwater, where it's dark.

Trying to decide who I want to draw for Maid Day this year... I have had a couple of bug boys on the brain, and was gonna draw them, but I've got more immediate plans for my gazelle and African wild dog duo, so I'm wondering if I should draw them instead...

BugByteGaming@bugbytegaming· Apr 20

Bean I’m losing it-

Screenshot of Tomodachi Life, showing Bean’s relationships: he is acquaintances with Oggie, but has a crush and is ready to risk it all.

☘️Art Train! #artshare☘️ Repost with your green art! Most of these are just character references haha, oops

Character reference sheet of an anthro butterfly with bilateral gynandromorphism.

Character reference of a pale green anthro damselfly. His left leg and right arm have been amputated.

Picture of Oggie, an anthro aphid, dressed in a bunny-themed outfit, holding a giant carrot. He is smiling, but looks a little embarrassed.

Picture of Harmonia, an anthro ladybug, holding up Oggie, an anthro aphid by his overalls. Harmonia looks smug, Oggie looks annoyed.

BugByteGaming@bugbytegaming· Mar 30

Character reference sheet for a friend of mine, of their shark girl Marka! She's normally depicted as bipedal, but they wanted a mermaid form for her ^^ If you're interested in getting something similar, feel free to shoot me a message!

Character reference sheet of a shark mermaid, Marka, front and back. She has messy, pale blue hair, pale skin, and a long pale blue tail with several scars across it. She has a tired expression on her face.
