I wanted it to be brambles, changing to Autumn colours, the Leaf Walker insect doing the same.
The idea of the other insect in the lower right hand side is that it is hungry and eating up everything. A blight of them taking away the resources that the elves and their mounts require.
So the hunt is on.
It is also super fragile, I got 3 pins into the legs. But I can't imagine transporting this guy anywhere, I'm afraid to sneeze near it.
Also super happy it isn't metal.
