Blast from the Past: Cicada Design Development (Patreon)

Here's a sneak peek at how I decided how to draw toony cicadas. Four years ago now! Feels longer for some reason. It's interesting to me that the overall shape I simplified the body to in the upper right hand corner is not so different from the design I settled on for the Insecta Geometrica cicada pin, which was developed at a different time with different goals.
