Out of curiosity... what do people who buy adoptables generally look for in an adopt when purchasing? Species, traits, details, accessories, etc... any sort of general stuff, I have dabbled in making adopts in the past but never sold any and would love a bit of thought process from ppl #adoptables

When I update Mei's design I also want to update Gabu's. For both of them I initially didn't actually base them on any specific species of mosquito/dragonfly, but I know what species I had in mind for the OC I based Gabu off, so I'd want to incorporate more of the details of that species into Gabu.

Obviously I'm not great at juggling multiple projects or committing to a single project for a prolonged amount of time... but I do really want to share Mei and Gabu's story one day, and I feel like if I'm going to do that, I need to start fresh, rather than try to build off the stale base.

BugByteGaming @bugbytegaming.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
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.

"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 ;)
