Dragonflies

This dragonfly was a little more challenging than the bee.

At first I had the wings kind of curving and flapping, but it didn’t look right. It looked like the wings were too far back.
I straightened the wings out, which was better, but then it the movement wasn’t broad enough. It looked like the wings were hardly moving at all. The solution was to only put one wing on each side. When the wings move, it looks like there are two, and with only one wing I can make the movement wide enough to be noticeable.
The last change I made was just to modify the color so it shows up on the background better. I think I’ll probably end up changing it again depending on what I use for the background in the game.
