Neither bugs nor bears, bugbears are the hulking cousins of goblins and hobgoblins. With roots in the Feywild, early bugbears resided in hidden places, in hard-to-reach and shadowed spaces. Long ago and from out of the corner of your eye, they came to the Material Plane, urged to spread throughout the multiverse by the conquering god Maglubiyet. Centuries later, they still bear a fey gift for lurking just out of sight, and many of them have sneaked away from that god’s influence. They are long of limb and covered in coarse hair, with wedge-shaped ears and pointed teeth. Despite their formidable build, bugbears are quiet skulkers, thanks to a fey magic that allows them to hide in spaces seemingly too small for them. —D&D Beyond More often thought of as an enemy, Bugbears have joined the pantheon of PCs. Because. . . I guess there just wasn't enough options for playing large brutes already??? Anyway, Have you ever seen a female Bugbear before? And one wielding a sword in a forced perspective? Then take a look at the eight in-progress pictures below. |
Why you should practice drawing Bugbears: Besides being an anthropomorphic beast (wo)man, they also fall under the category of big, hulking humanoid. You can never have too much practice drawing muscular humanoids. From Orcs and Minotaurs to Ogres and Giants, heck, even "regular" humans; being able to draw jacked-up gym-rats of all sizes will always come in handy.

I love your art on this, and yeah I have not really seen a lot of female bugbears.
