Aaaaaah it's PERFECT! Their expressions are so fricken cute Atta then walks by, seeing Dot still clinging to her catch with all the might in her little hands. "...Do I want to know?"

"Your little monster is eating me alive. Get her off."

Dot dressed as Khezu from Monster Hunter! I love that thing and it was my best buddy in the Stories game on the 3DS.

She likes to hang onto ceilings and drop on top of Flik, Atta, Hopper, Molt, whoever is at hand, and give them heart attacks.

The mighty huntress has found her prey. Hopper never stood a chance.

Trying to reignite my muse for bugs, so a bunch of quick sketches

Playing with Hopper's multiple arms is fun

Grimm is ever so miffed

Dot being Dot, probably overlooking her kingdom up on a clover.

Taking a shot at Francis, since he and Slim show up in GATH. Not sure if I like how this design came out, but eh, it's a start.

Atta knows they don't fight grasshoppers, they DESTROY them. Wanted to draw her rocket launcher from: https://www.tumblr.com/theowlgoesmoo/749201971970441216/can-we-just-talk-about-how-insanely-hilarious-the?source=share

Oooh, these are fun! 1. Owl (sometimes Cabbage); He/Him.

2. Saw it in theaters which was awesome, so 7. Perfect time for it to sink its roots into my brain =p

3. Well you've got the whole drawing and writing thing you see here. Also have a fondness for gardening and cooking, when I get the chance.

4. Besides ABL of course, probably The Incredibles (There was no sequel =p), Lilo and Stich, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, A:TLA, Star Trek TNG, and The Clone Wars

5. It's got to be the three main ants, Flik, Atta, and Dot. I love them individually and I love their interplaying relationships. It's a dynamic I've used time and time again in my own works.

6. Has to be the scene where the grasshoppers break into the bunker. It's terrifying, you see just how cruel they all are, Hopper has such PRESENCE, and just SO many iconic lines. "Nature has a certain order..." "I swear, if I hadn't promised mother on her deathbed I wouldn't kill you, I would kill you. "First rule of leadership: EVERYTHING is your fault." And of course, "LEAVE HER ALONE." Heck, I made a fanfic based on that scene alone. You want her? Go ahead... take her.

7. Professional voice work / author, especially for kid lit.

8. Anything by C.S Lewis, the Ciaphas Cain series, and A Confederacy of Dunces.

9. Both my siblings and their spouses were able to get a lot of time off over the holidays, so for the first time in years, we're going to have the whole clan in one place! Been a long time since we've even all been on the same continent, let alone together.

10. Trying to get a new job, as I've been stuck in a pretty awful dead-end one for the past couple years, one that barely pays enough and isn't wonderful for my health.

Well Molt, you treat people nice, they treat you nice back. And Dot thinks you've been very nice indeed. Thanks, big guy. So my wonderful friend MustLoveFrogs whipped up some more bug art for me, this time with Dot and her honorary uncle Molt, based on "Go Ahead, Take Her"

I absolutely ADORE how this turned out! Dot looks like the precious little bean she is, and Molt looks simultaneously spiky and huggable all at once. If you need them, they'll be having a tea party in the corner of the cantina. Hopper is not invited. Go check out my favorite frog too! Her art is FANTASTIC:

[theowlgoesmoo]

Dot, you're an inspiration to us all.

[theowlgoesmoo]

I desperately need more smol Hornet. She's gonna punch the moon.

[theowlgoesmoo]

He realized those berries don't work.

This does though.

Flik waiting for Hopper to come back for more grain:

And another one. Rough sketch of Dot having a tea party with her growing number of uncles. It's a very exclusive event.

Oops, all WIPs!

First we've got Atta, in her impeccable disguise in GATH. No one will see through her! Nothing is more inconspicuous than a giant cloak.

Human!Molt. He just needed to be incredibly hairy. Had to give him that doofy uncle energy.

Also bonus Dot. You'd think as a human, she couldn't fly. That's nonsense. Molt can make her fly! Up you go, princess!

Also manbun and scruffy goatee. He needs them.

Let's pivot to the other bugs. Here comes Divine, Grimm's other top troupe member. She's got very... particular tastes. Atop by her tent! She'd love to have you for dinner.

And the whole troupe, more of a scaling thing. Grimm's a big fella.

Chapter three of "Go Ahead, Take Her" is up! Poor Dot has really gotten over her head this time. One little temper tantrum, and she's staring down the maw of a monster. Be careful, princess!

[theowlgoesmoo]

Okay,

1. ARE YOU TELLING ME THERE ARE MORE SONGS? =D

2. Hopper as a rockstar is something I need like now. "I'M A GRASSHOPPER ROCKER IN A REALLY BAD MOOD".

3. I can't decide what's funnier: the idea that Hopper wrote and performed a song whose message can basically be boiled down to "I took a dump in your flower bed, what are you gonna do about it NERD." Or the writer's desperate attempts to avoid the word "poop." We can show a man being brutally beaten, bruised, and nearly murdered, but we darest not say the forbidden p-word.

My quest to find every bit of obscure media related to this movie continues. So, have this criminally catchy song made purely for this storybook AFAIK

[theowlgoesmoo]

So for some reason, Tumblr isn't letting me see any submissions, despite the fact that I know I have some. I've gotten notifications for them before and then can't actually view them. Because this site is perfectly functional. So to those of you who have submitted or asked stuff, I'm not ignoring you, I genuinely can't see what you've sent! Sorry! If you do want to ask something or the like, probably dropping me a message would be a much better way to do it. That works just fine

That would be Rourke, from the criminally underrated Atlantis The Lost Empire. As for what happened to him, he got got by some glass.

If Disney and Pixar have taught me anything, it's that bullying nerds is very bad for your health.

[theowlgoesmoo]

Hopper continues to be the best facemaker in the movie. Also that moment where he notices his antenna's gone never fails to make me snicker. "GOOOOOOOAAAR"

@abugeatbugworld made this meme based on "Go Ahead, Take Her", and I just had to make it a reality.

He's only had this princess for a day and a half, but if anything happens to her, he is gonna squish every bug in this hideout and then himself.
