affinity designer Dragonfly, Yellow Winged Darter

[VectorVonDoom]

Sympetrum flaveolum commonly known as a yellow winged darter.

I started this ages ago and stopped a few times as I got bored with it due to it being so fiddly. I adjusted it a bit to get rid of some ugly flare. Too much effort for what it is but oh well.

The outlines looks like a black mess so I've just shown a section.

A real jewel! Love it.

In my opinion, looks more like an actual close-up high speed exposure!

Amazing skill set.

[Mithferion]

I used to have that picture as a wallpaper on my computer. Amazing work!

Best regards!

This is some next level work, very nice!

[OllyH]

Wow. Next-level stuff, amazing.

Definitely an example of 'CGI' in terms of what's possible.

[Danika]

I see this wireframe thing here and there. Can someone eyplain to me what it is? Is this a kind of 3D modelling thing?
