Description
I finally managed, after years and years of failed attempts, to make a roach girl I am satisfied with. Sheβs an orange head cockroach, eublaberus posticus, complete with rorschach-like pronotum pattern, white false eyespots and creamy yellow wings. She still needs workβ¦ I want to add in a second pair of legs and her trochanters need some work. She has arolium on her hands and feet, the little suction cups that help a roach to climb even smooth surfaces. However, the actual roach can't climb glass, I like to imagine her being able to do so :>I have a colony of these nearing 100 or so, and I love them <3
NOTE: I'VE MOVED to my old account! Please watch

Very nice work. I'm trying to come up with an anthropomorphic cockroach design myself. I like how recognizable she is as still being an insect. Can tell you really put in your research.

also it might look good if you gave her a third set of limbs on her chest that small designed for tearing open pray or something!

Actually,cockroaches CAN climb glass. You'd be surprised!

The species of roach that she is cannot climb glass. I might be surprised if I weren't pretty much an armchair entomologist and know a great deal more than the average person about roaches

it mustve been dificult to take something as harshly judged as a cocaroach and bring it into a better judgement of beauty

I pretty much live my life trying to do just that with most all insects, but especially roaches. I keep 22 different species, and none are invasive

This is positively gorgeous. To bring a concept that is not only difficult, but often a phobia and a source of the "crawling skin" feeling to others into this light.. Is more than an accomplishment. :'3
Great work!

She's beautiful. I have a colony of Madagascar hissing roaches myself, and I love them. I love her hood. I love her legs. I love her arolium. I love her! Excellent work! I'm going to go look up your bebeh right now!

Excellent piece

There should be more insect anthro. I like how you did the exoskeleton.

Fantastic. I love entomology and have been wanting to combine it with a fantasy world of my own. This is a great piece.

I never thought I would would say this about one of my worst fears, but... I'd hit that, lol!

You know I'm not fond of bugs as you are, and while I may not find this character sexy, you've definitely succeeded in making a realistic anthro insect that doesn't creep me out.
As in, if she were real, I'd hang around and ask questions, as opposed to avoiding her in fear.

Ok... I gotta say though, and I love this Vera, but... the double signature and fat watermark is very off putting >_> it almost ruins the picture for me.
π: 0 β©: 1
I've had enough people steal my artwork and try to crappily photoshop out the signature that I feel I have every right to add a watermark. It's much less obnoxious than the dA watermark, if you ask me. It's off-putting when people complain about that.

Wasn't trying to be confronting, and I understand, I remember following many of your journals involving theft. You do have every right to put whatever you want on your pictures, I wasn't disputing that.
