A woman in green cargo pants with a blue belt and a black tank top stands with her back to the camera. Over her shoulder, she holds a katana with feathers, bones, and herbs dangling from the end of the hilt. Slash, burn, and bite scars litter her arms and face. Her head is shaved around the sides but just long enough for a 2 inch blond pony tail. At the base of her neck, a blue tattoo of a death's head hawk moth fluoresces. From the tip of her blade, a larger replica rises and hovers above her head. She stares back at the camera with eyes the color of the moth. The background is a lurid warm to cool purple brushstroke gradient.

Some people in her order get bears or wolves as their spirit bonds. She got a moth.... because she didn't need any extra strength.

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'?"

Dracula, by Bram Stoker
