Orange hoverfly 💙 dayflower

(M) Marmalade Hover Fly (Episyrphus balteatus)

Continuing my JR flower series, here's a sketch of Richard's alter ego, Edward Baxter, with dayflowers representing deception (they lure in pollinators I believe by appearing as something enticing without delivering on that promise? Also they only last for one day, like Richard ditching his disguise.)

This one was tricky for me, especially his hair and maintaining a good resemblance to Richard in my style while still giving him a different attitude. I rely on hair as a quick hack for achieving likeness, so changing his hair made that harder lol. xD

UPDATE: Here's the flat color version!

EDIT: Realized belatedly that I inverted his suit colors from his anime version. xD Fixed below:

Also, below is my first attempt at an Edward sketch, saving it here for archival purposes as well. I liked my second attempt much better, but the sketch below was good practice.

Can I truly believe that the Lord intended for me to see Dayflowers as part of His sovereign plan?
