Description
Inspired by a ladybird landing on me. I know she's rather on the large side but I needed her to be rotund because that's what shape ladybirds are. A skinny ladybird would look weird, I think. I also wanted her to look sort of upper class. Someone that people would notice coming into the ballroom of a rich party. That's the scene I imagine her in anyway.I really enjoyed doing this. Sometimes, the whole picture is a real effort and struggle but this one happened almost by itself. Everything just flowed from my fingers. I love how her eyes came out, too. Actually, I like her whole head area.
Ladybirds are cool insects.

-very- cool. Very cute too.
I like your choice of indigo hair and eyes. It's not a color people would normally associate with ladybugs, but it works very well with the red wing-covers.
The dress is pretty neat too- but that fringe must have taken for-freakin'-ever.

I didn't want to give her just plain black hair. I thought the indigo would give her a bit more life. I can't remember if the fringe took that long... but it probably did.

Just out of curiosity, why would you make it sound like you are apologizing for making her chubby? She's adorable.

I dunno really! I guess I've never really drawn chubby people/characters before.

"Little Lucy Ladybug
How do you take a bath?
Oh, I have a lovely bathtub
Beside my garden path.
It is a yellow buttercup,
And when it fills with rain,
I jump into my yellow bath
And jump out clean again.
Little Lucy Ladybug
Where do you go to bed?
Oh, I have a lovely bedroom
Where I lay my little head.
It is a pretty daisy,
And its sheets are sparkling white.
My pillow is a golden puff
I sleep on through the night." ~The Christian Mother Goose Book
A delightfully charismatic piece.

I reallly love madam ladybird. She's beautiful.. I've been thinking about getting a tattoo and i would love something similar. Would you mind me using her as inspiration?

I love the colors. Ladybugs are round and pretty uncoordinated in my opinion, and she embodies those characteristics perfectly. Very sweet.

She is so cute. The pudginess really adds to it. I agree that she would look weird skinny. I think she's perfect the way she is.

this is so beautiful beyond words..an excellent interpretation! I love it.everything is really nice! It also seems like the other ladybirds/ladybugs are almost falling around her..But the eyes are gorgeous. breathtaking..

This is absolutley beautiful!
If anything, the extra roundedness of her makes her look more like a Maddam, than a skinny underfed LadyBird would!
^^
I love your stuff so much!

I thought so too - that she'd look more like a Madame than some skinny wench.
Thanks. I'm glad you like it!

A ladybug aka ladybird pinched me one time. This kind of helps me get over my nervousness around them now.

OMG, that's like the sweetest thing I've seen this month!
And I think that the picture beautifully shows the personification of a ladybug presenting it's personality features. ^__^
(well, ladybugs probably don't have any personality, xD but I mean the characteristics people tend to give to animals ^^)
Great job!

I love ladybugs! ^__^ They're such cool little guys, aren't they? Last month, my class went on a beach clean-up trip...my friends and I found lots of them in the dune grass. I had three of them crawling around on my arm.
Anyways, I really love how you drew her! She's adorable, and the coloring is so soft and warm. Quite fitting.

Aww, that sounds so cool! I haven't seen a real one for a while. They seem to be disappearing. ; - ;
I'm glad you like her. I can definitely see the resemblance to Sandy. I was worried about submitting it and having people think it was a rip of her, actually.

Ah, she's so adorable. I love her plump little face, and the subtle design on her wings. Her eyes are really great, so dark and shiny. This is just about the sweetest deviation I've ever seen. Plus, my mother always used to call me "Ladybug," so I have to love it

Awesomeness...I really like it, mainly cuz I see a ladybug in the same kind of society, all high and mighty...it agrees with my mind...other than a bit scary, it is extremely well done.

She's precious. I love how she has a powerful air around her, so when she talks everyone is listening. I loved ladybugs when I was little, they're awesome insects.
Her eyes are positively gorgeous.

Thanks. <3 I'm glad I pulled off that powerful air thing.
I find most insects awesome. Except for annoying ones like flies and mosquitos. But I love ladybirds, stag beetles and the praying mantis.
