im hugely inspired by the way you draw anthro bugs, and i was wondering how you go about simplifying mouthparts? I'm trying to simplify a domino roach's mouthparts becauase that's my favorite species of cockroach, but cockroach mouths are really hard to simplify. Any advice?
Oh gosh, thank you! I do pride myself in my bug mouths, actually. It’s not only hard to find good reference for arthropod mouths, but basically all cartoon bugs in media have humanoid mouths, so i had to figure out how to draw and simplify them from scratch.
Anyways, I couldn’t find any specific references for a domino roach, so here’s my best shot using german cockroach mouthparts:
Roaches have pretty typical mouths for chewing insects, but for general reference, here are some other typical arthropod mouths simplified:
That’s all i have the energy for right now. Hope this helps!
Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?
The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

This year, I'm aiming to get 200 rejections.
These rejections can be anything, by the way. - asking a friend to lunch - someone missing a meeting - not getting that promotion - going on multiple dead-end dates
The beauty in this trick is there’s no longer a “losing” side:
If you get rejected, it’s a win because it’s adding to your game.
If you get accepted, it’s a win because you got the opportunity.
I saw a lady today holding a kitten really high up so artistic rendition of it because it made my day. The lil guy was just okay with it
The dynamic of "scientist who wants to fuck the thing they're studying" gets exponentially better the further removed from the biological sciences you get.
Xenobiologist wanting to bang an alien is old news. Give me a programmer in love with his computer. Quantum physicist who gets horny when he gets to operate the partical accelerator. Do you understand
