Death's Head Moth - Tumblr Posts

3 years ago
A digital drawing of a Death's-head Hawkmoth. Its wings are closed; one set is dark grey, and the other is bright orange. Its head and thorax are both grey, with the thorax having a small orange pattern. The abdomen is striped, with orange and grey. The moth sits in front of a dull pink ring.

I'm working on making some new sticker designs, here's the first of the batch!

This one's already up on my Redbubble, and if anyone wants to request a specific bug or subject, I have a commission tier on Kofi dedicated to that.

Critique is very much welcome!

A digital drawing of a death's-head hawkmoth, drawn with uneven, sketchy linework, and grey painted and crosshatched shadows. A parchment texture has been placed over the image, providing a yellow cast to it all. Under the moth is the label "Death's-Head Hawkmoth, Acherontia"

"...Then he began promising me things, not in words but by doing them." He was interrupted by a word from the Professor, "How?" "By making them happen. Just as he used to send in the flies when the sun was shining. Great big fat ones with steel and sapphire on their wings. And big moths, in the night, with skull and cross-bones on their backs." Van Helsing nodded to him as he whispered to me unconsciously, "The Acherontia Atropos of the Sphinges, what you call the 'Death's-head Moth'?"
