Another batch of wasps that I illustrated this year. 2026 has been crazy, and I haven't gotten around to creating very much, but I plan to draw more wasps, and be more productive in 2027!

My grandma had this cousin. She was kinda freaky I guess. She had this weird obsession with moths.
We found out in the late 70s she had invented a "lamp assisted Hymenoptera vaginal intercourser." Sue got pregnant and the kid was weird.
I guess he ran off around the river

Here's another bug elf design! This is a Queen of Sluagh, aka the Wasps/Hornets/Bees elves for my dnd book. They are based on the order Hymenoptera minus the ants, I want to do ants separate. This particular Queen was inspired by a carpener bee <3 Hope you like her 🐝
