The found image above is either a bee or a fly. I am not sure which. The pointed abdomen makes me want to bet on it being a bee. I really like the simplicity of this design and the aged quality of the background pattern. In this digital work I combined an unaltered line art image with one of my existing background patterns. I changed the hue on the ornate pattern and enlarged just the section I needed to create a very symmetrical and simple composition.

ReplyDeleteJust because nobody else has pointed it out:
ReplyDeletethat's a fly.
2 wings = fly.
The little nubs [like a circle on the end of a stick] just underneath the wings are vestigial wings. They spin around and around really fast and help the fly to know which way is up. They act as super-cool gyroscopes, enabling precision aerobatic manoeuvres. .
