More amazing Ant Art!

I’ve been wanting this print of ants for years and at last broke down and got it. Just put it in a frame. I could look at it forever— it came with a card with a key to each species!

The artist is AMAZING for all kinds of insects. https://carimnahaboo.com/

[Image Description: using forced perspective a tall black ant person... who on closer inspection is really a spider person with hands on their antennae towers over a worker. "I've come to... work" they say omniously.

A shocked ant with goggling eyes says "you're big as hell"]

Foolishly bowelfly offered to draw "any bug for $4" so I started asking for ants… and stopped after six to advise them to please raise their prices before it got exploitative.

Just look at these girls!

I resized them to show their very different scales. I love ants so much. Thank you for these drawings.

[Image Description: A drawing showing three kinds of ants in color. They are little ant people, mostly realistic with cute small mandibles, four arms, they stand on their back two legs. Two ants are light green and dressed in silk. One holds a larvae who is spewing out silk, the other hold the leaf together as they bind it. They have on flowing white silk clothing. The Sahara silver ant (steel gray) has on a gauzy loin cloth and she is scouting with squinted eyes on top of a branch. The fire ant is brownish red with a darker gaster and more rough spun clothing. She is climbing a rock. ]

I can't get enough of the way you draw ants and hope you will draw more. What about Camponouts? a species with majors and minors?

How about bulldog ants?

I love these.

If you're still open for the antrho ants thing, Weaver ants are my favorite

Ant people request 1/3 Coming in, the first batch of ant peoples that were proposed to me ! More about each ants under the cut !

Weaver ants for @harborchild!

Not too fond of the colors, but while I was wondering what they should wear, I thought it would be great if they made their clothes out of their pupae silk too!

Sahara Silver Ant for @cedricredwood.

I thought, with not much vegetation in the desert, they’d be more likely to wear clothes made of other insects. Here, I imagine they’d make some kind of plastron out of a desert beetle and a tunic from its wings. I know they’re known for their speed, but I wasn’t feeling very inspired. Maybe I’ll draw some more one day, running in the sand. Could be fun! (Also, I may have some turtle ant sketches I did a while back. If you’re interested, I could color them.)

Fire ant for @gardensinner's sister ! I might do another batch of fire ants; I had fun with their design. (I tried to make this one walk on water :'D) But I feel like I could do more with a few more of them; they’re more interesting in numbers, I think. Because they’re a bit of an invasive species and you can find them almost anywhere nowadays, I had trouble finding good ideas for her clothes. So I chose bark clothes, which is my default mode for ants along with leaves. I assume any ant that would like to clothe itself would think of bark and leaves as their first options. Also, bark induces weaving, which I find super cool.

As you can tell, my focus was mostly on ant clothes because it's fun to wonder what an ant would do to dress herself. I'd like to do a bunch of sketches, not colorized, about weaving and other types of cloth-making. It could be cool.

Also, like @sugarcoatedcricket mentioned, I’d like to take ant anatomy into account. In these drawings, I tried to keep their sides free of any fabrics to let them breathe. I think that’s a very neat detail, so thank you again for pointing this out!

The other request are in the work but you'll have to wait a little, thank you again for all your proposition !
