Before I start making any new art this year, Ima do an art dump. Normally I don't actually save enough art up to do an art dump, but the longer I let it sit on my pc, the worse I feel XD

Thispic is technically ahead of this one: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/55750853/

Context: In ancient times Kurama's chakra was once stolen by an insect Shinobi, who then used a forbidden jutsu to enlarge and empower his insects to where nothing could stop them. With their power, they took over multiple villages, and were renowned for a forbidden jutsu in which insects casted an endless sound Genjutsu through their wings, hypnotizing anyone merely in earshot.

No jutsu could easily fell Kurama. No human could even stand before him. His footsteps alone caused the earth to shake. However, many times at night, insects would cast the jutsu in his ear, trapping him in a continuous sleep while his chakra was unsuspectingly stolen by the castors and transferred to the users. He had spent so many years attacking humans, that he didn't ever expect an attack from insects. That's why it was so effective. To him, he was still lying in the forest, napping away the battle wounds from his latest fight with Madara Uchiha.

In the midst of the insect shinobi using his chakra, Madara personally came upon their village and unleashed a genjutsu so powerful against them that they lost control of the Kyuubi. To the Uchiha, no genjutsu could outmatch his sharingan. The idea of a clan trying to use such a technique to defeat him was childsplay. With the insects out of control, they rebelled against their human clan and began destroying them, before forming a human queen out of their own bodies and taking the human's ultimate weapon.

Unbeknownst to Kurama, he was now in the clutches of a very hungry Queen, siphoning his chakra to feed her hive deep underground, and he wasn't going to realize he was trapped anytime soon. The queen wuold instead absorb him into her body, and have him reborn as a loyal work drone.
