Antlien

Literally this is actually Antman, an Arthropoid race that inhabits a dry planet called Tanduz, they are subterranean and spend almost all their lives under the surface of Tanduz, down there they make various kinds of necessities for the survival of their species including farming and breeding in the Hive Mind system.

This work is a mere whim while in a coffee shop with friends, while others were chatting I was busy drawing this ant, and shading it with a round pattern that reminds me of when I used to make illustrations and nostalgic. It turns out that after so long not using it makes my hands tired of rounding the pattern, plus the dim yellow cafe lights make my brain dizzy and difficult to concentrate, the best way is to drink a lot, it's not really the best place to draw, but I'd rather choose drawing than small talk, hehe...

Worked with black colored pencil on a5 paper for about 2 hours while looking around several times, btw this work is done accompanied by black coffee typical of Aceh "Kopi Tarek" :)
