The DawnBringer 32 palette was certainly a pleasure (and also a challenge!) to work with. I put the most effort into the iridescent beetle shell, but I kind of rushed the rest of the skin and it feels a bit lackluster to me. Still, an interesting experience, and perhaps a call to try out more skins with DB32 or other pixel art palettes.

The dress is a beetle's wing and the antlers are a stag beetle's mandibles.

When I saw DragonsDungeon's entry to this contest, I saw something iridescent and beetle-like in the blue eel on the back, and I was inspired to make this beetle fairy being. While I eventually took the color in a different direction than the blue that it started as, I want to thank DragonsDungeon for giving that first spark of inspiration.
