It's not much, but I was able to get SOMETHING out finally. It's been so long since I've drawn.

Practicing getting basic shapes down fast and doing quick doodles.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Aptly named, the New Zealand giraffe weevil is the longest beetle in Aotearoa. Males can reach a length of 90 mm (3.5 in), half of which is their elongated snout. These extraordinary appendages are used to battle for access to females, which have much shorter snouts.

For the first day of the 30 Days of Weevils challenge started by @the-named-anon, I illustrated the spectacular Giraffe Weevil (Trachelophorus giraffa)!

With such a long neck, it's not hard to see why this weevil earned its namesake! Males typically have necks that are over twice the length of their female counterparts. Like others of their family (Attelabidae), their long neck is thought to assist in building nests or fighting rivals. This tiny species is endemic to Madagascar, with its conservation status listed as Near Threatened.

Reference images: male (right), female (left).

speaking of weird animals, been working on a Giraffe Weevil. He's a construction worker, and his base outfit might change- but I love this dude already

Scrapped concepts below the read more

I think I might of deleted some- but if you cant tell I started with a pretty bad reference of the weevils face lol. Once I fixed that the design came together much fasted- always use Multiple References ough

DAY 8: GIRAFFE WEEVIL

also known as Trachelophorus giraffa

Fun Fact: the long neck is used for fighting. also, they are sexually dimorphic, with the males neck being 2-3 times longer than the average female.

[ID: Artwork featuring 17 different forms of a bipedal oc. Each form uses the same base, posing simply on a plain or patterned background and facing to the left - each variation has some kind of invertebrate replacing the limbs, and a corresponding color/hairstyle change. The first /default form has giant American Millipedes replacing their legs, with fluffy, striped hair covering their top face, a curly tail, and antennae matching the ones on their limbs, almost resembling a dog / bear. Other forms, from left to right, include a Giraffe Weevil, Mint-Legged Centipede, Stick Bug, Rhino Beetle, Fly, Ladybug, Common Blue Damselfly, Medicinal Leech, Shrimp, Garden Snail, Leopard Slug, Hermit Crab, Hammerhead Flatworm, Velvet Worm, Earth Worm, and Bald-Faced Hornet. End ID]

Swirlipede!

A weird little shapeshifter with the tendency to poke their nose in everyone's business. Dedicated question-asker and party-crasher, fe acts out their many personas via various forms to address situations in fun and dramatic ways. On a journey to discover themself and try out almost every role he can stick himself into.

As Swirli's introduced to more invertebrates to take inspiration from, more forms are bound to develop, so the list remains ever-shifting.
