Artist's Comments
One of my best insects.
Originally I wanted to fold the wings out in a flying position, but I remember more often the sight of perched mayflies and the way they sometimes hold out their forelegs as if to test the air. It's a bit sad to imagine only living a few days as an adult, but hey, at least they go out in style. I'm uploading these partly because I mentioned them in my Artisan Crafts interview, mostly 'cause I decided I won't limit my submissions to just anime art. |

98% of people on DA claim they don't read signatures. Copy and paste this into your siggy if you're one of the people who read this to see what stupid made-up statistic it had.

It reminds me of a Terry Pratchett scene; some mayflies chatting: "When I was young, that cow was over there.. And the sun was higher. Those were the days."
