Description
Maybe that's how stars are born - eventually a firefly makes it into the sky.--------------------
Since my grasp on light, shadows, textures, perspective, etc,etc is terribly weak, I took a lot of time on this one and really pushed myself, and tried to get it as right as I possibly could. I would love it if someone pointed out any flaws.
This would look amazing as a print though. I'm thinking of making it into one in the future.
---------
Also thinking of starting doing commission work soon. As soon as I figure out how that shit works. lol

The foreground firefly looks like it should be casting similar lighting onto the shroom as the one in the background.
The ground texture looks pretty good, but the area at the base of the shroom looks a little odd with how big the highlights are.
The background fireflies look like copies of the foreground one, nothing wrong with that, I think it fits the style in this. I'd recommend scaling them up and doing some touch-up over scaling them down, the main reason is that scaling down makes it muddier, but scaling up keeps everything intact.
It's overall pleasing to the eye, and these are very minor nitpicks.

That's some good critque. Much appreciated. I'll look into it. 
Strangely, just yesterday I was looking at this illustration and thinking, I could improve it some more.

Hm good point.
I used to use Redbubble, it's not too bad for printing things.

I tried zazzle and another one a while back. It was a real hassle, specially those W8 forms.
I'm thinking of trying out Etsy and Redbubble.
Any tips on how to promote them? lol

No idea, but you could ask people on the DA forums
