Description

Once there was a beautiful glen
Where all the swans sang in harmonious din
The plants swayed to and fro in glee
(and not by any power of wind, you see)

But in the evening, when the sky was pink
This was the most special time, I think
For that was when the bugs came out
Glowing softly in the glen about

And some were thin and some were fat
(the fat ones did glow more, in fact!)
The lightning bugs were all around
Swaying with the plants to the swan's dear sound

And you might think, "oh but they're so sweet!"
So shiny and bright and lovely a treat!
That's what she thought when she took them home
In a glass bottle with two round domes

But lightning bugs don't like it at all
No sirree, they like to fly high and tall
And after the capture was all said and done
She discovered dead lightning bugs are not very fun

The final image from the eyes tutorial [link] and the digital inking tutorial [link] This was actually a lot of fun to work on, since I haven't done super-deformed in quite some time. And I definitely took my liberty with what a "lightning bug" looks like.... ^^ Wallpaper-sized for your downloading pleasure! (It's actually my new phone background ^^)

(Also, you can't really see the sad lightning bug expressions in the picture unless you full-view...)
