I wanted to practice using Illustrator, so I drew a Blue Weevil Beetle :]

My name is at the bottom, realised its kinda small.

Why is this so amazing?! I love all of the details you put into it, like the scientific name and color pallette used. Well done, friend!

Here is my Miyama Stag Beetle! I don't usually draw digitally in a realistic style, but I had some free time tonight and I wanted to try out some brushes that I rarely use!! Came out better than I thought it would ​

Um...how in the earthly heck did you do this?! This is amazing! It looks so REAL!

I drew the rosalia batesi beetle! It is my favorite new bug in NH... And the name makes me think of fashion designers

According to my gf, "it looks like a jojo character"

I am inclined to agree.

For my submission I drew a jewel beetle!

Here's my Goliath Beetle at last! I went for a hand drawn submission this time. It took MUCH longer than I would have wanted but I'm happy enough with the results! I used a mix of pencil & pen and colored pencils to try to blend the red/black to create a nice, realistic effect.

Snail plus menacing salt shaker (ignore the smeared marker, I tried to use a metallic sharpie to make it look shiny/wet but I smudged it a little before taking the picture >.<)

I believe I've accepted all entries so far -- if I've missed your, please let me know and I'll go take a look!

On that note: a friendly reminder that submissions close at 6:59PM EDT tonight (under 6 hours from this post)! This also means voting for cabin favourites will close at this time, too! Please take a moment to look through the submissions to vote for submissions that you like!

Also, exciting news: both cabins have passed the BP threshold! At this point, The Melon Ballers have reached 77 BP with their submissions while The Poliwags have reached 103 BP! Well done! The bonus Cabin Points will be awarded after submissions close (i.e. after the locations change).
