While Verta the Lurantis isn’t a true bug, she does certainly have some bug like visuals. I’m not sure she knows Struggle Bug, but  VDO’s sona Alex might be finding himself struggling to handle the sheer mass of this strong form of Verta in an affectionate hug~ =w=

Verta is certainly a cute “bug” friend who loves giving comfort to the comparatively tinies sized like bugs to her!

This picture was one of the first goes with a new media style I refer to as one pass shading. Most pictures I have done in recent times have two passes of shading. The first would have mid tone grays and then second would have darker grays and blacks and would usually serve as a means to double check errors.

Two pass shading as a finished product is still better, but this one pass looks pretty good regardless and is quite a bit faster. Since I charge by the hour, speed is pretty important.

Let me know what you think!
