Flower Faeries 1: Begonia

Description

This is the first in a series of flower faeries. The idea is that each flower in these pictures has a meaning, and that the faeries shall somehow communicate that meaning. The meaning itself was invented by the Victorians, but these pictures are a bit more modern.

Also, the meaning of flowers shifted over time during the Victorian period, so I've had lots of options when choosing what to make of each flower.

Begonia: Beware

Other meanings: Dark thoughts. Deformed. Huh?

I screwed up on the flower. The leaves and actual flowers are from different kinds of begonia. The leaves/wings are Begonia aconitifolia, which has a smaller, white flower. The flower itself is a begonia copiemini (?). Oh well. I'm no botanist.

Jag älskar din cellshading. Den är så rätt!

Jag funderar bara lite på om ljuset kommer uppe från höger, borde inte vingarna kasta skuggor över kroppen då?

Fast äsch. Nu är jag bara petig. Snyggt! :D
