WIP of day fourteen of #invertober
Bobbit Worm

Grief support group did a number on me yesterday, and I didn't manage to finish this one. But I'll try and refine it once I have the energy.
(also, once again, oil pastels be stinky!)

#invertober2025
unfinished drawing of a worm. It has five tentacle-antennae thingies and four pincers on its head. It is very long, curling all over the page, and the segmented body has an iridescent sheen.

I thought this would be an easier subject, and then I had such a difficult time rendering the shell 😂

(reposted bc I forgot alt text...)

day eight of #invertober
Bee-killer Robber Fly

... so I accidentally used references for Mallophora bomboides instead of Mallophora fautrix xD
but I guess they are both floofy
#invertober2025
drawing of a floofy fly. It looks like a bee, but it isn't a bee. It is covered in white floofy hairs, and has orange wings.

this colour scheme rocks! ❤️ I love how the dark coloured gastropods look like living lava rocks, I could barely believe my eyes when I saw the photographs 😂
