Description I believe that the fireflies have a magic that can recall innocence of a person.

About a month ago, I had a chance to experience that. Standing among a group of fireflies, watching the flicker of light moving around me. It was hard to see the fireflies in the city anyway. But the area I visited was quite damp.

However, I just need an excuse to draw a CATS fanart and the scenery with fireflies. Here's the result.

I know I messed it up but I won't call it 'failed'. It is 'experimental'!

Any suggestion? Feel free to tell me.

I rarely see one in real life anyway. I think it was because I'm in the city. They are magical, don't you think?

This is beyond gorgeous! I love fire flies, and I love how beautiful and glowy they are. <3 Demeter is stunning as well. She looks so happy and peaceful, which is a total contrast to what most protray her as.

I love it!

Thank you so much.
For Demeter's expression, I think the most paranoid person in the world also needs a peaceful moment. *laughs* And that's the heart of this picture.

this is very nice!
but i suggest you dim the whole atmosphere it would be better, since i think glowing fireflies in an almost pitch black surroundings look more spectacular :3
great work anyway!

Thank you.

Your comment somehow reminded me that the fireflies come out in the night, not the sunset. *laughs*

I adore the wonderful shading on her face where the firefly is closest, you've managed to pull that off spectacularly! I wouldn't call this close to failed at all, it's beautiful.
