Entomologist. I also draw shit.

Pinned

hello, i've decided to make a pinned post after like 7 years on this site. i'm a professional entomologist but spend most of my free time drawing. i picked this username while drunk many years ago and now i'm committed i guess. i usually go by ascalaphid elsewhere

tags i have tags for art and photos. i sometimes do pixel art or craft dolls and figurines. a lot of my art is of my character trungo or other bug people. i occasionally talk about movies

commissions i’m not doing high or even medium effort commissions anymore but i am always taking $5 bug doodle commissions on ko-fi

other accounts @cnestus is where i post bug photos @bowelflies is where i reblog stuff i like

other places to find me:

Would I be correct in my interpretation of Brother Gregor as a transmasculine gharial? I ask because his snout is much too long to be a false gharial, but he also doesn't have the knob on the end that a male gharial would have

you're definitely not the first person to point this out so yes this is established Brother Gregor Canon at this point

I do wonder if Brother Gregor is the only reptile among the Monasteries because I can totally see a sweet old tortoise fitting in very well

i had suspicion and it turns out i did in fact draw a tortoise friar a couple years ago, in response to another ask, though i am once again confronted with the logistical nightmare of how to put a robe on a tortoise

whenever anyone tags my stuff as #digital art another ink stain spontaneously manifests on my fingers

I have to ask (I forgot if I have already). Any skunks at the abbey?

no skunks currently, but they're not out of the question. if I'm being totally honest though if I was to include a mephitid I might go for something a little funkier than a regular striped skunk. like maybe a teledu....

it's gonna be a while yet until I come out with the Big Shrew Zine but in the meantime I spent all afternoon trimming a couple different mini shrew zines that'll go up on the shop probably tomorrow
