I think this is my favourite piece of yours so far. I love the situation, love her soft-cartoony soles. What makes this work is the lack of all the ugly stuff normally associated with bee stings (redness, swelling, etc.). Just imagining her indestructible cartoony feet taking that punishment until it drives her crazy (and then some more after) is sublime. Beautiful work!

Well, thanks for saying so! I'm really happy to hear from someone else who gets why it's so fun to do that with cartoons. They don't have to suffer the nasty consequences, just the funny ones. So, exactly, you can just push these characters until they've totally lost it!

As a big fan of taking things way too far, I love any medium that allows the victim to to remain (physically) unharmed through all the kinds of heinous torture that they're put through for the viewer's amusement. She's too pretty to go and get permanently messed up.
On a side note, I think her problem could be solved with the addition of yet more bees.

Yes, doctor, that is the proper prescription! 100CCs More Bees, stat!!

Just seeing those bees make me nervous a little, even though it's just artwork that shows the viewers the way the artist express themselves. But I'm glad it's not in person, or I'd be even more nervous and want to keep my distant.

Thanks a ton! I though it was pretty clever even I wouldn't let bees anywhere near my feet.

Well that's the nice thing about cartoonish stuff right, they can just bounce right back. Sometimes into more trouble

And I thought the million flies at the house where I spent the summer holidays were bad ... but climate this year somehow seems to cause quite a number of mass reproductions of insects.

And I could do without all the bugs myself. They're a pain!

Her feet are cute X3 I feel bad for them though, getting stung like that, ouch.

Yeah, this was a particularly nasty idea...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
ouch, those are gonna be painful to walk on later. Hope they know how to walk on their hands!

Assuming there's a way to wriggle out of that pipe. of course.

*shutter*
Though adorably drawn, to me this is the harshest and most frightening one you've done so far, not only because of the obviously very painful stings, but the added horror that Yellow Jackets can seriously kill you dead if they sting you enough no matter if you're allergic or not... and these things can sting quickly and repeatedly...
... Plus even more horror that your feet will be too swollen and in pain for you to run away should you escape...allowing them to continue to sting you building up the venom inside... *more shuttering....*
...and to top it off they leave a chemical behind that tells other Yellow Jackets where to find and attack you.... 
Significantly nightmarish scenario, wrapped in cuteness...
My only question is how did you you even get stuck in that pipe like that?!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you think about what's going on, then yeah, it's kinda terrifying. But cartoons are a great way of working through the willies. When you put funny gloves and faces on them, hornets lose some of their scary, despite how much they seriously don't need to exist here in reality.
Now the pipe... well... I have no idea how that happened.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pretty much my mind always thinks about presented scenarios... How they happened and what will happpen. It allows me to say something more meaningful than simply "good job"...
Unfortunately in this case I know a lot about Yellow Jackets and despite the cutesy nature of your style, the true nasty nature of these little buggers bleeds through... which is why despite the simplicity, this pic has a super powerful effect on me.
Ah... well avoid pipes next time, buddy! Heh heh

They seem to be disappearing. They might've found a place where they'd be disturbed less.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
wowh, nice one!
That's going to cause some swelling and stuff I think... can't really walk for a couple of days I bet!
But seriously, I hope you get rid of the little pests at home! *hugs*

Yeah, there's probably gonna be some time with humorously bulky bandages. They seem to be rarer on the patio now, at least, so I'm not in as much real danger.

That's good! And maybe it'll get you even more inspiration to boot

Her paws are cute. It makes me sad that you have to torture them.

No offense, I'm honestly curious, if that makes you sad why do you come look at S&M art?

It's more for the feet, and less for the torture. I really don't mind the torture part as long as it doesn't go to far.

This is one of the more creative foot torments I've seen in quite some time! Superb work
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why thank you! I was rather proud of the idea, too.

You're quite welcome! I've got a fairly unique (or at least I haven't seen it before) foot torment that I had commissioned, I'm just working on the colors right now. If you don't mind me spamming another comment on here, I'll link it to you once I'm finished. I figure you're one of the only other slapstick lovers of this kind around, might as well share my stuff with you since you're doing the same for all of us! Keep up the great work!

You've piqued my curiosity! I certainly wouldn't mind seeing what you've got cooking.
