I am blowing up from excitement I reacted like that image of the chef in ratatouille when I saw this. eyes wide open mouth agape looking at the sketches this is infinitely awesome. I. am. so. excited. additional fun fact and my favourite one about them - as babies they have 6 pairs of legs and grow the 7th pair throughout their molting which I find very weird and cool.

also if you want to go into more woodlouse-y isopods I recommend Cylisticus convexus Ukraine pied, I am not at all biased by their original genuinely they are awesome!!!

adding onto this because I can't stop thinking about this. you draw them so smoothly and softly as they deserve!!! thank you for drawing them as the gentle beings they are.

Some isopod studies from reference. I wanted to get some practice in before attempting to make some isopod pins. Fun fact: Terrestrial isopods have 7 main scutes (plates) before their little butt plates start.

Col erase pencil and marker.

No idea which species though. Thanks for the ask! I hadn’t heard of these gals before. Very cool.

Also, bonus, I found this weird lookin lil lady in the same genus while searching.

met this little isopod today. unfortunately it (literally) fell off (my bug catcher), but seemed to crawl away just fine. however, i got a live photo of it that i just HAVE to share:

little dude took a tumble. ate absolute shit. was trying to impress me, fumbled COMPLETELY. many such cases.

Isopuppy Plushie Pattern

Sew your own isopuppy from Salvage! Patten by me, aka the writer. Finished puppers are approximately 2 feet (61 cm) long from nose to tail tip, extremely huggable, and extremely likely to get kidnapped by the nearest small child and/or adult with excellent taste.

PDF pattern includes written directions + process photos. You can get it here. There's also a crochet version over on my craft site.

[id: Sewn isopuppy plushie, which is a hybrid of a dog and an isopod. It has the shell and legs of an isopod and the head of a dog, with little antennae. End id.]
