Something on the funny-side! =)
Original Image is 9000 x 4500px, some details are lost when resizing to the 1000px image here, but I do try to keep textures visible.

[Story]
Envisioned here is a world where technology copies aspects of nature in order to function.

The environment is full of representations -- the trees are bundles of red wires, discarded bolts and nails look like mushrooms, and (barely visible) bamboos in the back are wire twisties. (This can almost be the 'lowest level' of a gigantic computer.)

The blue fly depicted has several jobs -- Nicknamed 'Super Flies' --Groups of them are required to be in specific areas at all times. They clean, manipulate, repair, and do the nitty gritty that human hands can't always reach. They have very high processing power and are constantly linked to one another, giving them the ability to form a basic social hierarchy and communication network.

The big yellow guy has only one job -- seek out slow, defective Super Flies and destroy them. He's on the ground most of the time and doesn't need the ultra-high CPU. He merely needs to know that if he can reach a fly, it must be terminated. He has basic communication modules and is required to check into a hub once a day for repairs and cleaning.

It’s a world that, for the most part, functions on its own. Human intervention is rare.

[Thoughts]
I like playing with contrasts, bigger and slower versus small and fast. If this humors you, I've done my part!
Thanks for viewing!

Whoa... This is a rather original idea, I'd say. I'm personally very fond of the colors you've used in this, and you display a perfect balance of darks and lights to dramatic effect. You're mastery of coloring still amazes me.

I'm very curious though, what was the motivation/inspirtion for this piece? It's rather quaint.
I just LOVE your story and painting! WONDERFUL

Photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event. (HCB)
Wow this is great! You have a fantastic imagination. The surface of the yellow guy looks great, so much detail. I like how he and the fly are that much sharper and brighter than the background
amazing concept and amazing image! :+favlove:

Heehee, you're right! It does look like it's winking!
I like the yellow guy a little more than the fly to tell you the truth, I thought he had his rugged personality that was kindda lovable. =)
