Lovely artwork of fly. Very nice color and shades with great details. Like the background with nice texture. The wings are really beautifully drawn. Great work.

Marvellously crafted piece of artwork. I love the miniature details you succeeded in attending to like even the protruding thorn like hair on the fly legs. Incredible!! I love the overall composition and the use of colours in the background to allow this fly to stand out. Kudos

Beautiful colors and a really nice digital drawing of the fly. Love the lavenders in the wings and the hairiness of the legs. So detailed. Love the textured colors in the foreground floor and background. More like a painting by hand.

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition grants us a good look at your fly and it's location. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!

This fly looks so real, and I especially like how well you have done its transparent wings. I also like the textured background with the different shades of green, and the touch of pink behind the fly.

The fly is painted with good attention to the smallest details, and with delicate brush work. Very good use of high lights.

The format and framing is perfect, and the fly has got a fine placement on the canvas. A truly lovely and well done digital painting Cleo.

Your exlanation is preparing us very well to look at your piece of art differently -I had no idea that there are more than 1 million of different flies around the globe - yours is excellent , well created , with a beautiful color combination in the background - the body details are fantastic and the soft rose color wings are exceptional
a beautiful presentation again, perfect for details with a nice initial impact, thanks for sharing

'Diptera' translates as 'Two Winged'! : )
That makes good sense,and it's unusual too as most Insects have FOUR wings!
There's one of Evolution's 'tiny mysteries',I guess!
But I'm starting to babble on now aren't I ?
( That happens more and more frequently as I get older,it seems! )
How about I just tell ya; that I think this digital painting looks GREAT,Cleo?
It's enjoyably out of the ordinary ( which is a quality in art that means a lot to me! ) and that I like it a whole lot! : D

Comment from alaskapat


Hi Cleo, this is so very well created! The fly is so well structured with accurate size, shape and proportions, excellent detail! I like the way you have placed the fly upon the green leaf, the background tones suggest that there are pink flowers nearby, it was very clever to position the fly so that it's wings are in front of the pink, it works so well to show the detail in the wings.
This is very well arranged and presented! Your notes are informative and appreciated too!
