Again thinking about redesigning Mei... I think I'm going to at the very least draw what I would want his redesign to look like, and see what I think. Enough time has passed since I first published chap 1 of Bug Bites that I honestly just want to remake it and do all 5 chaps as one game.

I'm probably not gonna do a full illustration a day for any art challenges this month, but I WOULD like to make do a small doodle/sketch for the Bugtober prompt list, just so that I'm still drawing things I want to draw amidst comms and stuff.

Honestly, it had to have been Pokemon Sapphire. That was the game that spurred me to actually get a gameboy, got me into Pokemon, and then gradually other games.

"The Whole World is Bark" Brown Creeper and Colorful Zale 8"x10" oil painting on panel Inspired by a Brown Creeper exploring the intricate landscape of bark on an older Yellow Birch, before totality during the 2024 solar eclipse. If you explore the bark too, you'll find the Colorful Zale. 🪶🐡

An oil painting of a Brown Creeper, clinging to the curling and craggy bark of an older Yellow Birch tree. A Colorful Zale moth, which uses Yellow Birch as one of its host plants, clings to the bark in the upper center of the painting, in soft shadows. The light is a somewhat surreal warm grey, as the solar eclipse was well underway, minutes from totality. The artist watermark reads: Copyright 2026 Jennifer Miller "Nambroth" featherdust dot com

Pro tip: you don’t have to comm artists to boost and support them. People claim they can’t support artists and creators because they are financially strapped, but they can still boost posts, comment, like, and in general just be supportive! It’s completely free outside of an internet connection ;)

Commission for @someblondedork.bsky.social! She wanted something with her OC, Nikkos, and asked if I had any OCs I thought might be fun to have interact with her.

I'm always so torn on HOW I wanna design bug characters... I love when characters are more monstrous and have more arthropod-like limbs... but I also love 'just a human with antennae and a bug abdomen' designs... but I ALSO love 'character with antennae and then clothes that fit the bug vibe'...
