And now we wait... #art #cocoonyear #flower #botany #entomology #sciart #invertefest #science

Digital art of a sprig of butterfly milkweed. It's done in a cel-shaded style with a strictly skinny clean outlines, some that are colored and some that are black. The milkweed is blooming with three little pompoms full of tiny orange flowers. Tucked under a single leaf near the bottom of the plant is a hidden cocoon. It's weird how small the cocoon is on this plant. A watermark reads http://hmcgill.art.

Now the chrysalis is as smooth as my brain #art #insect #cocoonyear #invertefest #digitalart #sciart #science

Digital art of a smooth monarch butterfly chrysalis. The art style is cel-shaded with minor amounts of soft shading, and very delicate thin lineart. The chrysalis is seafoam green with subtle shine. The veins of the future butterfly's wings can be seen through the shell.

Pupate, damn it! Pupaaaaate! #cocoonyear #caterpillar #art #illustration #sciart #invertefest #bug #insect #science

Digital art of a caterpillar at the very end of pupation, with its body scrunched up at the top into wrinkles. Its proto-wings are clearly visible pressing against the shell of the green cocoon, which has expanded in girth since the last installment on this art series. The scrunchy caterpillar body has thick white, dark gray, and peach stripes. The art style has thin outlines and cel shading. Watermark at the bottom: http://hmcgill.art.

New Cocoon Year. Some thoughts about how synopses can interact and inform each other, forming new synopses. Also about reigning in scope by reigning in the size of a setting. hmcgill.art/2024/07/21/c...#art #writing #process #comics #cocoonyear #insect #webcomics #indie #graphicnovel

Small Headache #art #digitalart #caterpillar #cocoonyear #pupating #invertefest #invertebrate #metamorphosis #science #scicomm

Digital art of a caterpillar suspended upside down, beginning to pupate. The style is cel-shaded with delicate, thin lineart and naturalistic (but not entirely accurate) proportions and details. The caterpillar's body appears stuffed full like a sausage, to the point that the chrysalis inside seems to have popped the body's seam along the head. The caterpillar's antennae dangle limp from the sides of is head, its feet appear to be deflating, and its butt is scrunched up like a dirty sock. It's like the body is going to slip off the shell. You're welcome! Watermark at the bottom: http://hmcgill.art.
