Heya, I'm Peridots (any pronouns, they/it works fine)! Your average digital artist/entomology enthusiast! This is partly an art blog, but be prepared for occasional Bug Facts and other such randomness. Spam likes and all other positive interactions are appreciated here! Terfs, zionists and the like aren't allowed within about a hundred feet of my blog, however! Profile art by original-character-chaos—oooooh looks like someone sent me perfectly pfp-shaped gift art of my sona a little too close to april fools! (< and i perhaps needed to escape the misha.)

I was messing around with doodles that don't fit my artstyle
Had fun and liked how they turned out :D
Tell me an inside joke between you and a friend, without context.
Was drawing a thing with Tiso, stopped myself multiple times from inserting more Real Bug Anatomy than was necessary, so I started drawing a different Thing With Tiso. I did plan on doing more once finished but didn't have the inspiration, so take a dude with more realistic insect anatomy than he normally has
- Horns (spirally/twisted flat horns especially, as of late)
- Insect-like antennae/antennae-adjacent structures
- Long, expressive ears
- Dragons, but mammals and/or with fur (and one or more rows of scales centralized along the back)
- Long tails or insect abdomens
- Six limbs (middle pair often more resembles the front pair. used to be centaurs but now just four-armed creatures ig)
- Wings (usually insectoid, draconic or feathered)
- Insect-looking mandibles but they’re actually just modified teeth (likened to tusks)
- Five digits, opposable thumbs able to grasp stuff (to some extent) with sometimes paw-like feet
- Long necks
- Ocelli/smaller eyes that act like eyebrows
- Long canine teeth, four canines and eight incisors like humans (rest of the dental formula does not matter)
Some of the creature design tropes I always find myself circling back to are:
whiskers/barbels
birds with ears
toed hooves
long torso/ bi-to-quad movement
parrot, because i think their skull is freaky
small.
and more??
What traits do you folks find yourselves adding to a lot of your creatures?
