I put my Fiddlestick entry for that #insectile contest a while back on artfight and whilst they did not win the contest (grats to the winners, we get canon giraffe weevil now) I got a few pieces of 'em done by other artists there.

Have to take some time to do something for #InsectileContest, time to meet that simple little cricket and butterfly hybrid, Critterfly. Cute isn't it?

[Highlighted text beneath the image dubs the creature a Fiddlestick]
A long-necked weevil-like creature on a tile board.  A 2 highlighted near the body shows that the body will do two damage, whereas the head would only net one.  The long neck bypasses the tiles entirely.


Miscellaneous information:
• The long thin neck bypasses obstacles on the board, but would also bypass enemy Insectiles as well and not damage them.  On the flipside, the neck would not conflict with the placement of other insectiles on the same team.

• The neck is the sturdiest part of the Fiddlestick's body, able to move from the light green base without bending in a rigidly straight line - so bobbing up, down, left, right and so on.

• Conflict with mushroomfolk could involve reaching through open windows in search of food, ambling about in clumsy herds or eating the leaves from crops.

• It is not particularly intelligent.  these are no thoughts behind those eyes but they seem happy enough

• An idea for a pre-evolution morph option would be a 2x2 diagonal insectile called a twiddletwig, though real-world weevils have larvae and not nymphs.
If a pre-evo morph is not an option then maybe they just hatch like that and gradually grow out their neck.

• Both sexes can battle to impress mates by bashing necks to battle, a behaviour seen in some long-necked weevils and also giraffes.

• The underside is the same smooth dark green, with uniform smoothness rather than a textured underside.  The carapace has little slots for the legs to emerge.

An anthropomorphic common puffball mushroom (Lycoperdon perlatum) walking his anticlimactic leaf, an insectile that resembles a stick insect.  The creature is white with red eyes owing to albinism, wearing a twine and leaf harness as the mushroom uses them as a tiny guide dog.

The puffball waves to a yellow mushroom and a blue butterfly in the bottom left corner.  In the top right corner, Agar the best boy is spying from behind a rock with googly eyes and their favourite insectile, a dusty dandelion resting on their head, that resembles a fly.

quick fanart of @narwhalnut.bsky.social's Loma from #insectile and Bad_Vertex's Sybil from #psilosybil. they're both blue mushroom ladies from videogames so I figured it fit. colourpicker tool helped

I also ran out of room so Sybil is just looming menacingly for some reason.
