I Have No Idea How To Draw Their Cloak

Drawing some guys from way back when

Hey, remember this comic by @slimeel ? Yeah, I accidentally became stupidly enamoured by the concept of mail delivery bugs and then this happened. This started off with me wanting to make a reference to the mail lady from Homestuck but quickly grew into an excuse for drawing a couple of environmental pieces.

The whole idea is this: A network of bugs exists in the wastes, an old one but still far younger than Hallownest, which is why none of their offices ever appeared near it. No one knows where they have come from, though rumour has it that their first office grew alongside a civilisation born off the corpse of a great beast. All of its members appear to be mortals, but they bear masks with foreign etchings on them, protecting them from having their minds swept away by the winds, keeping all of them connected, something that no mortal could devise. Despite this they worship no power, directing all their devotion to one thing: Mail.

Why do they look like that

I so desperately need Hornet to have some cringe moments in Silksong

Made some redesigns of this lovable quartet to track my progress. See, a while back I made a project involving these four which meant I had to draw them in my own art style, which was criticized for having the characters look too samey. I tried to diversify my character design since then and I like to think I at least improved a little ^-^

Old designs + plus some other stuff from 2021 under the cut:

Glowing womb is a charm

Hornet's no good, very bad, horrible road trip.

Tried giving her a humanized design
