Description
Castor is a small flightless creature that paddles on a leaf with a twig to get around. His diet consists of pond scum and aquatic larvae. He's rather quiet and has no friends.Backstory: Castor is the son of an elf (and maybe a sparrow. Either that or the wings on his back were removed from another sparrow. You choose). In his youth there was a strong storm while he was playing outside and he was flung far from his home, landing safely in a human turd. Lost in the gutters of suburbia, he now wanders the waterways of the world in an attempt to return to his tree.
Anyhow, originally the background was going to be all white with some clouds in it, and the clouds would be filled in with galaxy (nebulae, stars, etc). But things didn't work out, and in the end I decided on a dragonfly and orange sky instead. Makes a little more sense than abstract space clouds, at least. Well, Castor was fun to design and color, so that's good.

I guess as long as you're happy with it...?
I'd be his friend! Unless he has a large, talking boil, that'd be a little difficulty in our friendship...

Oh.
How big of a problem will that be?

Oh, not huge unless it shouts obscenities and makes inappropriate comments about the circumference of my bottom...

I don't see a Keebler Elf resemblance...or do you mean the feet...? o.O

Naw, just the size. After all, there are elves that live amongst the trees, and there are elves that live within.

Aaw, it's so sad and cute... I reallyreally like the simplicity. You pull it off without making it look boring. He makes me feel lonely, but in sort of a good, contemplative way? Haha (:

at first glance it seems to be really simple, but upon reading your commentary i just fell in love with it (even with the human turd part xDDD). i'd love to be his friend!
great story, great design, great colour.

I think he removed them from a dead sparrow in a "You won't be forgotten" type of way.

It was more like an "I won't forget," said when he found out the sparrow had tricked him.

I was wondering what version of flash you used.
Because I've admire your flash drawn art so much, I myself wish to learn to color in flash.
But I all ways have a hard time of it. >___<;
If you don't mind me asking, do you have any suggestions?

umm what do you mean by turd...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What is a human turd doing in the wonderful land of suburbia? The last time I checked, people living in suburbs usually go to relieve themselves in the TOILET not the BACKYARD. Those are dogs.
by the way, that dragonfly is quite random.
geez how do you come up with these things? I'm impressed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sounds to me like we have a maverick in town.
Sometimes these things can take up to a day of walking to come up with.

Awh, he's so cute! I love his backstory haha~

I can understand a sewer system, but the fact that he landed in a human turd (and likely one soft enough to break his fall, implying freshness) in a gutter makes one laugh at, as well as question, the personal hygiene of city-dwelling homosapiens.
Basically I'm saying you have a creative imagination.

I'm glad you decided to go with orange and a dragonfly, as cool as galaxy clouds sound.
Even when your stuff is simple, it's damn cute. :3

bwahaha landed in a human turd thats the funniest thing ive heard allday and ive just been watching shooting stars

i hope you do more with this character :3
And i think that the orange sky is better than random outer space.

aww

I think the dragonfly gives him more depth anyway.. It makes him look as though he sorely wishes he could use his wings.
