WIP: Hornet Bandit vs. Honey Bees Dancers (Patreon)

Saddle up and welcome to the Wild West! We are leaving the abyssal depths behind and riding straight into the dusty frontier. This time, we are observing the infamous and brutal interaction between the Japanese giant hornet and the native Japanese honey bees, reinterpreted as a classic Western standoff.

For this WIP, I explored the incredible defense strategy of Japanese honey bees against an invading giant hornet. I turned the concept into a Western-themed comic where a lone hornet bandit attempts to hold up a saloon full of can-can dancers (?). It does not go well for him, and he ends up facing the furious swarm, getting entirely "honeyed" in the process 7u7

Btw... this piece took a bit more time than usual because I built it as a comic sequence rather than a single image, even if it is still a sketch (?).

I bring you this idea thanks to the suggestion of the user "Konradius5" a follower from DeviantArt!
