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 think he wants to eat the dragonfly or hate it because he's like a pinguin who can't fly...
would the dragonfly be delicious?
wait, a dragonfly IS a aquatic larve... right? So he wants to eat it because it's still on line with his diet. eventhough that dragonfly is a gigant for Castor since he's flying quite high and still bigger then it's head...
And his diet works cause he's sooooo skinny *womanly instinct says that I should feed him*

An aquatic larva is an early stage insect that dwells in water. This dragonfly is mature and airborne, so it is not what one might consider an aquatic larva.
But Castor would probably try eating it if it were sick or dead. It's too powerful for him when it's healthy, though.

This is a nice, cute design you have for him.
The background seems a bit plain, but I do think the dragonfly and soft pink background work better for the overall theme.

n00b question- how do you stop flash from "autocorrecting" your lines?

I draw the line again, or tone down the auto features.
