Very nice, Igor. Gives me an idea for my own work

. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Fred, I feel honored when my pictures are inspiration for your work!

This evening whilst sitting at my computer (in the dark with no lights on) a moth, I've no idea of make or model, landed on my monitor and stayed there for over two hours. I thought it would be great to capture it for use on a web page. Print screen didn't work for some reason

so I photographed it and drew it. I attach the results. Unfortunately the ungrateful moth flew away before I'd finished her portrait so I can't supply a side by side photo comparison. Women!

amusing what you wrote Egg.

I like your moth, too bad the real one didn't stick around to see the finished work. Guess we'll have to get Mr. Scribble after that moth.

EDIT: Are you sure that's a moth? Looks a bit more like a Mayfly.

September in the UK is the season for crane flies, could this be one?
Thanks for making me chuckle, Egg.
Bob.

Hi, I went on the Natural History Museum site and asked there if anyone could identify the bug.

It turns out it is moth LINK

Got a new system with windows 8.1 recently and made this wallpaper for it (resized so it doesn't bother people with lower res monitors).
The native windows wallpapers are either too cluttered or use extremely bright colors. I don't know what they were thinking

And other wallpapers that I found online were all saved as .jpg and had ugly artifacts all over them. When will people understand what image format to use in which situation?
So anyway that's why I decided to make my own wallpaper. It took about 30 minutes and I'm quite happy about the result. I could add more details but I don't know... I like the simplicity of it. It goes to show that you don't need fancy shapes and intricate colors to make something that is pleasing to have as a background. It conveys the metro look of win 8 well imo.
