Bug & Claw started with Phil and Fred, two unlikely friends of humanoid ladybug and crab, who came to me at times when I needed escape. Ladybugs kept getting into my office, a single one landing on me or my computer, distracting me when I needed it most.
The first drawing of Fred, the anthropomorphic ladybug, was way back in 2005. Since then, the entire world, lore, characters, and concept have grown immensely. Creative writing and imagination began to expand, influenced by some of my favourite media over the years. It's also not just a world for fiction anymore; as you can see, it has been undergoing development into a tabletop roleplaying game, among other things.
