~🌸Phlox Drake🌸~ The drakes that make their homes in the shrubs of Phlox flowers are quite reclusive, and hide when people are nearby. They can most often be viewed (from a distance) flitting about at dawn, when they like to sip morning dew from their flowers.
Think this was worth the wait! Took longer than I thought, the file info says I’ve been prodding at it since July 2021.
Struggled a little bit making this one look somewhat cohesive, phlox is one of those flowers that comes in a bunch of different pink/white combos and I wanted to show some of that while having it all still match. Also there are a lot of green/pink combos that clash horribly.
Had a lot of fun adding in the droplets everywhere, its a little thing but I think they add a lot to the overall look.
Also the beetle made the final cut, with a bit of a makeover. She’s based on a pink ladybug, that I learned the existence of about two days ago 🐞
Aren’t you glad covid didn’t happen in 2005 like all the scene kids would be calling the new variant the omnomnomicron with a cartoon dinosaur or something
I made you a vaccine but I eated it
