Description A doodle from a while ago I decided to touch up a bit. I need to make her wings bigger. I know the males are the ones to typically have the bigger antennae but I think she's cuter with them this way. I love to imagine her crawling around on her hands when she's not flying. I think I'll name her Celie.

I used to breed Cecropia moths from the wild, my homeschool teacher taught me at a very young age how to care for them. I want to again someday... shame they only live a month at most... such cute little fuzzy plump bodies ^^

I absolutely ADORE this, and how you stuck with proper anatomy and gave her only arms (too bad my fursuit design had to be more "humanized" to accommodate a human body, because I like this design so much better...and will you ever draw a luna moth girl?) I wanna make a plushie of this char!!

I hope to have the time to draw one sometime soon! I really want to anthro-ize a flannel moth... they have got to be the fuzziest bug ever next to their caterpillar counterpart ^^

This is the kind of blending of human and insect features that I like to see in anthro insects. You’ve brought out the coolest/most attractive parts of the insect and made her look approachable without making her TOO human. I also like the warm, β€œautumn”-y colors.

At first I wondered where her lower legs were before realizing that moths’ legs only protrude from the thorax, not the abdomen. (I have a spider character where I took artistic liberty and had the legs coming out of the abdomen.)

As for moths go, this if the most intriguing design for a body i have seen. I have always likes these, but i never new the actual name.

I really like the character concept, even if the pic is kind of a color sketch I would love to see the idea fleshed out more. I think it would be nice if the hairs on her antennae matched her white hair :3

Wow, really clever way to anthropomize a moth! I've never seen it done like this before. Usually people just draw a chick with big boobs and add wings. Very very cool.

I wouldn't ever have thought that a butterfly could look like this. It's shape is bigger and more expressive although the eyes aren't so human.However, it has a kindness that is obvious with the first sight. The details are good and the body's expression very convincing. I only see a little odd the last couple of arms whose hands are together, looking smaller than the others, and the outline is blurry. The rest is perfect and very cute for being a bug. (I didn't mean anything offensive, I meant that I wouldn't expected that an artist could extract such a cuteness from these animals)

I saw your Mr. Nibbly's photos! Oh, he's so cute!!! =^___^= If I had such a pet, I would be very happy! I think he looks like one insect which live in Ukraine (I don't know it's name on English), but Ukrainian one is rather smaller.
It's so interesting to be entomologist! But when I saw your gallery, I thought that you are going to be the professional artist or designer... Yes, one day I wanted to be an entomologist too, I even know biology well, but I don't know chemistry for it..! So I'm going to ba a designer.
Besides, I'm lucky to have a garden near my house where a lot of different insects live. And I collect a photo collection of insects. There are some of them:

Those are gorgeous photos
I think the main reason I'd rather be an entomologist than a professional artist is because I am not very good at making myself draw things I don't completely enjoy... and I can't trust myself to have the inspiration to make deadlines etc It's just a hobby, whereas I love and adore everything about bugs and always have my whole life

I'm very glad that you liked my photos! Thank you very much!
Yes, you're right, we must chose only that profession, which brings us luck and which we adore. And hobbies must stay hobbies, but if we have talent for something, we must never forget about it! Your artworks are really amazing! You have very non-standard and interesting ideas!!!
Oh! How could I forget...?! +fav!!!

The textures in this are amazing and those wings and really, really detailed. I like the arms, too. They fit in very well and it's fun how each arm is doing something istead of just hanging there.

She is really cute. You really do have a wonderful imagination for all these awesome anthro characters that you keep coming up with. You should make a comic bout them or perhaps write a story bout them. it would be most amazing
