Florida ivory millipede (Chicobolus spinigerus) coiled around a bare brown twig CREW pen flint strand lake trails Bonita Springs, Florida 9-20-26 #macroMonday #eck #macro #nature #green #art #macroPhotography #native #threeWordGenre #bugsky #invertebrates #invertefest

Macro of a millipede coiled tightly around a vertical brown twig against a solid black background. Positioned on its stage-left, the creature's smooth, rounded, segmented body arches in a dynamic curve, displaying alternating glossy bands of cream and deep chocolate brown. Dozens of its delicate, pale translucent legs extend inward, firmly gripping the rough woody bark. The smooth, rounded head capsule is visible near the upper center, tucked close to the twig. The lighting highlights the glossy, reflective texture of the exoskeleton, while the background is completely dissolved.

It’s Cootie! She’s based on a parasitoid wasp. She dresses up in various onesies based on the host species of real parasitoids. The caterpillar one is her favorite.

i was sketching some halloween icon concepts for a friend and decided to sketch some Florences too [ #flameshadowart #silksongoc | Florence ]

a rough sketch of Florence the butcher with a wide smile and wide eyes focused on the viewer. she's holding up a knife in one hand and reaching closer with the other.

a bust of Florence with her head tilted downward and looking up at the viewer with a playful but sinister grin. there are blood splatters on her apron.

a sketch of Florence mostly as a silhouette with her eyes and smile standing out. she's in a cartoony "i'm gonna getcha" pose with her arms out and fingers splayed. there are knives in a loose halo around her. her shadow is cast forward

hi if you also think the new firefox update is ugly and space inefficient: type about:config to address bar, enter, hit yes search "nova" set browser.nova.enabled to false it doesn't revert everything, but it gets rid of the space wasting Round

she's so fun [ #flameshadowart #silksongoc | Florence, Atreus (belongs to Little) ]

two pen sketches with accompanying dialogue screenshots added. Florence holds a knife while grinning playfully and saying, "hey, I've never had a wasp moth before~" Atreus, a wasp moth, reacts with alarm, buzzing his wings and spiking his neck fluff. He shouts, "Absolutely not!"
Next, the added text reads, "She sighs in disappointment. 'You don't even want to pretend to misunderstand? You could've said, "What, in bed?" and then we could've laughed as I started to gut you." The art reflects this, with Florence resting her cheek in a hand and looking despondent. A thought bubble next to her depicts her starting to cut Atreus's chest. They both have emoji-like faces depicting laughter.

a sketch of Florence wearing an apron made of denim. It's outlined in blue and has a pocket on the breast. She tucks her thumbs into the sides of the apron and grins at the viewer. She asks, "Ya like my japron?"

I post this, not to whine (this time) but to express that every artist you know has doubt. “Is this worth sharing?” I think the better thing to ask yourself is “did you enjoy the journey?” If you felt compelled to create, someone will want to see!

Illustration of Hornet from Silksong fighting against Lost Lace. She is charging ahead with with her needle in one hand and Everbloom in the other, under her red cloak which is bursting with faydown feathers behind it. Lace is defending with her pin, black with void but also "chipping" like cracks in glass in various small parts of her body, exposing her true white self underneath. There are void tendrils bursting from other her, waving and curling across the canvas.

blue, green, and FIYAH [ #flameshadowart #silksong | Mister Mushroom, Alchemist Zylotol, brushflit, wisp ]

a page of pen sketches of some silksong bugs, featuring mister mushroom, alchemist zylotol, brushflits, and wisps. On the left, Mister Mushroom and some brushflits hang out in a mossy, mushroomy area while a couple more brushflits fly off in the background. Alchemist Zylotol faces the viewer, holds up his hand, and says, "Have you considered... BLUE." Below is a sketch of Zylotol crouching on the ground while being harassed by firy wisps that have emerged from a nearby lantern. in the upper right corner of the page, mister mushroom flies off with some brushflits accompanying him. in the spaces between these main sketches are some smaller ones: mister mushroom looking deflated, his cap on the ground and his nose sticking out; some simplified brushflits; and zylotol pushing up his glasses and saying "erm.. actually-"

conchs, cogs, and chaos [ #flameshadowart #silksong | vaultborn, karak gor, conchfly, pokenabbin, cogwork choirbug, cogwork underfly ]

a pen sketch page of silksong bugs. the most prominent scene is of a karak gor sitting and holding in their arms an old, scarred poknabbin that's sleeping. on the karak gor's back are several conchflies- one with a cracked cone and another with a deformed cone- and on one knee is another, smaller poknabbin. there's a conchfly climbing up the gor's other knee, plus another poknabbin hovering nearby and watching. above and to the left is a cogwork choirbug standing atop a cogwork underfly that seems unenthused to have a passenger on its head. to the right is a small doodle of a karak gor with several vaultborn clinging to his arms and back; they all seems to be enjoying this interaction. there's a poorly depicted two-sequence sketch of a vaultborn landing on a flying conchfly, and then the conchfly starts to spin which makes the vaultborn look like a smear frame. The rest of the page is filled with vaultborn harassing cogwork bugs: two vaultborn perch on the shoulders of a distressed cogwork choirbug. a vaultborn stands on the heads of the other two; another vaultborn perches on the tip of that one's crest. this uppermost bug focuses on a fleeing cogwork underfly. in the background, another vaultborn flies off with an underfly in their claws. two other vaultborn work together to take down yet another underfly.

Spiritually, Morrnet has never left Sinner's Road. Heckin' Muckroaches. #art #morriarty #silksong (inspired by some of @flame-shadow.bsky.social's excellent Silksong creatures sketches, go check them out!)

Morrnet raises a hesitant claw towards a muckroach, who is happily wagging its tail. She thinks to herself "I suppose I can forgive you..."

Morrnet is mauled by the Muckroach as it leaps towards her, something that has happened many times before and will surely happen many times again. She yells "AAAAUUUGHHH" as she is once more brought down by hubris.

clang, cower, clash [ #flameshadowart #silksong | smokerock sifter, scared pilgrim, phantom, bell eater ]

a page of pen sketches of some silksong bugs. on the top row are some smokerock sifters: one looking determined and holding up some sand or perhaps smokerock dust, another with a sturdier build and thicker arms standing at attention, and the final two up to shenanigans with one using their cymbal as a helmet for the other to bounce off with their own cymbal held like a sled. below and to the left is scared pilgrim, an NPC encountered at the First Shrine in the citadel. they sit on a round pillow and look tired and dejected. below is a sketch of Phantom but instead of fraying skirt bits sticking out of their hips, they've got what looks like fluffy pants. Finally, taking up about half the page is a scene of Phantom facing off against the Bell Eater who looms while bells scatter and fall around them.
