This year, I will definitely try to do more art and post more on here. I do want to do more art related to my own characters, would be nice to share them here.

I wanted to draw this before #invertefest was over. It's silly, it's fun, it's cute #bugart #bugs #bugsky

Quick drawing for today, Happy new year!! Can't believe it's 2026 already. Species drawn: Andrena fulva, Andrena cineraria and Andrena nitida!! #art #bugart #furryart #digitalart #smallartist

As of now, these are the ones that I do have. :)

I've been looking at Japanese insect and spider figures/gashapon recently because I'd love to buy more and there's only so much I can buy in person. A lot of the cool stuff is Japan exclusive meaning I have to buy it online and pay more than it would cost in person. :(

Gasteracantha cancriformis

Finished art commission for a friend! Flat colour + simple shading. Thank you for commissioning me :D #art #digitalart #artcommission #commsopen #smallartist

The long-held belief that only female mosquitoes bite may not be true after all. Very excited to have had the opportunity to contribute to this study showing that male mosquitoes can also bite and feed on blood. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Here's an art study (I think that's the right term for this) I did based off the pilot actually earlier this year. I seriously love how stylised the art style is for this pilot, I love the character designs. #art #artstudy #artist #thegaslightdistrict #digitalart

Not bedfellows Meet the Weevil Wolf Wasp (try saying that drunk lol), carrying a weevil likely for its larvae like other digger wasps. I’ve never seen one burrow, mainly because I’m always looking for flight shots. Nikon Z9 and Z 105mm macro SS1/2000 F8 ISO4000

I don't have any new finished art pieces to post on here so here's some stuff from earlier this year that I like. :) #oc #art #furryart #artist #digitalart #originalcharacters #smallartist

Another doodle of him :) #art #sketch #oc

Another little doodle of him #art #bugart #furryart #sketch

Personal character I've had an idea for, but I have never been bothered to draw until now. He's a male (drone) western honey bee, Apis mellifera. I don't have a name for him yet but he's supposed to be one of the villains in my fictional anthro bug world. #bugart #art #furryart #artist #bee

I got bored today and decided to redraw this drawing from last year! I think I've improved with my art since then. Gelis melanocephalus and Baeus leai. #art #bugart #furryart #smallartist #digitalart #artist

Sketch book page from September 2025. The tawny mining bee is my favourite insect ever and I also have a character based off one! :) #art #bugart #insectart #furryart #traditonalart

Some traditional insect art I've done in the past that I've never shared here. Mantis - 2023 Weevil - 2024 Strepsiptera- 2025 🪲 #art #bugart #traditonalart

Every time I look up insect stuff like stickers or keychains on etsy, I have to scroll past a bunch of ai generated slop and suspiciously sourced insect specimens just to find anything made by actual artists and it's really annoying. Etsy is full of ai slop nowadays and I hate it.

Art train to reintroduce self Hello!! I'm Bird. I like drawing insects and other creatures. I do both traditional and digital art. Here are some art examples from this year that I really like: 🪲 #art

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! I drew a midge today. Since males have hairy antenna, I thought they looked a bit like Christmas trees and made this one into a festive little midge. Goeldichironomus neopictus 🪰 #bugart #art #entomology #insect #illustration #smallartist #digitalart #artist

Just a ladybird enjoying some dinner, nothing else.. Finally finished this piece!! :) I'm really happy with how it turned out. #bugart #art #furryart #smallartist #illustration #digitalart #oc

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

It's Christmas Eve!! I did a quick drawing for today :) Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!!! 🐝 #art #furryart #bugart #oc

🎄 Celebrating Christmas Eve's #InsectAdvent order: #Strepsiptera, bizarre & brilliant parasites, and RES mascot since 1833. Their morphology & history mean they’re rarely seen. Many entomologists describe them as one of the strangest insect orders. 🔗 buff.ly/U7pmiwX

A distinguished spider 🕷️🧐

Made myself a tumblr account. Feel free to follow if you want. I don't know how active it'll be or how long I'll have it for but I'm just trying out a new platform for art and stuff. Hoping it all goes well. www.tumblr.com/extraterrest... 🪲

Hier gibt es eindeutig VIEL zu wenig Zikaden. Mit dieser Collage von Gernot Kunz erlaube ich mir, etwas zu schummeln. Paar von diesen Arten habe ich ihm damals angeschleppt. WENN sie nicht so klein wären (die meisten sind nur 3-5 mm), wären sie genauso beliebt wie die Schmetterlinge. #HexapoDezember

Rough doodle from earlier this year of a personal character, who's not an insect but rather a demon. His name is Samuel. Labelled for non sexual nudity just to be on the safe side of things. #art #doodle #oc

Little fly guy I drew today. Based off the narcissus bulb fly, Merodon equestris. It is actually the same species I currently have as my profile picture, just a different colour variation. #art #oc #furryart #bugart #characterdesign :)) I love flies, they're so interesting.

New Ant Lab video today about pincer wasps and a new research project. This one has some really cool, newly-filmed insect behavior in it! youtu.be/9osTBzQ0zbk

Stylizing their wings is really fun

For example, I can and do draw humanoids (just not very good at humans and very human like ones). This is a personal character of mine, Holly. She's a humanoid alien of a species I made up years ago. I don't draw her enough despite her being one of my main ocs. #art #oc #characterdesign

Working on some sketches for a Christmas card design. Just because I can. Snow Flea anyone?

A traditional art request done for someone on discord today!! Bombus dahlbomii :) #art #furryart #bugart #insect

I know I mostly just talk about insects here and post art related to them but I kind of want to post other art I do here aswell lol. I can draw stuff other than insects, I just don't post it on here.

Another traditional bug drawing! Eucera longicornis, the European longhorn bee. I love solitary bees so much, they're so fascinating. :D #bee #art #smallartist #furryart #insect #bugart #traditonalart

“You wouldn’t believe the half of it!!!” 🙄 After everything, you have survived this year. Please be proud of yourself for that ❤️

Another drawing from earlier this year of a personal character. This is Kasper, he is a fairy wasp of an unspecified species. I thought the idea of a fairy wasp character was interesting and so made one. #oc #bugart #insectart #smallartist #furryart #art #originalcharacter

From earlier this year, personal drawing of a character of mine. She's an American cockroach, Periplaneta americana. 🪳 I've got a few drawings I've done this year that I like but haven't posted here so I'll get round to that, maybe. #art #insectart #oc #smallartist #furryart #bugart

I cannot wait for spring to arrive. While there's still some insects out during winter, there's way more out during the warmer month. I really miss seeing my favourite species.

Did some traditional art today and drew a bumble bee character, Bombus hypnorum. Line art done using a ballpoint pen and coloured with watercolour markers. #art #traditionalart #smallartist #bugart #insectart #furryart #characterdesign 🐝

Some anthro tarantula adopts 🕸️❤️ - $15 each - PayPal, Venmo, Cashapp comment or DM me to claim 🕸️

Not a big fan of how this turned out but still sharing it anyways. Domestic silk moth, Bombyx mori. #art #furryart #smallartist #bugart #characterdesign #insectart #oc

Lepidophora lutea, hunchback bee fly!!! I'd love to see one of these in person one day, they're such cool looking flies. #art #bugart #furryart #smallartist #oc #characterdesign

Currently working on a fly guy!! #art

Looking back at this drawing from last year, I've definitely improved a lot with my line art and shading and that makes me so happy. I love looking back at my previous art and realising how much I've grown :))

Day 5 #art for #ArtAdventCalendar is one of my rainbow wings series. I have recently ordered prints of some of these to see how they look! I’m excited for them to arrive. This is a digitally painted European Peacock #butterfly, I like the traditional paint feel I managed. #Procreate 🐡 #insect

Quick little aphid doodle of no specific species :)

Blue bottle fly from Saturday, Calliphora sp. #entomology #diptera #insect I love how shiny and blue they are.
