tried out a more retro style to fit that whole 60's tokusatsu vibe I'm going for with my Venture Bros OC Maple

I was hoping to start doing some commissions again after my display was fixed but it turns out my warranty doesn't cover it :(

If you're interested you can either DM me here or order one on Ko-Fi

When I said I was excited for this next chapter, I meant it for a reason. :) Also this is in no way topical.

Apparently, I never posted my Venture Bros OCs that I drew in 2020.

Entomologists by day and “ecoterrorists” by night, villain duo, Mae Meadows and Beatrix Gibson, better known as Maple and Honey!

Their favorite intel hunting grounds are super science conventions, where they tee-hee their way into lab techs’ hotel rooms and laptops — with the help of pollen and bee venom — to find out just who is killing all the pollinators. They’ve got a lead that VenTech might be the biggest contributor to colony collapse... and that the new staff isn’t wise to their methods. Or their destructive nature.
