                  I was actually making a collage of the last 4 cicadas to get somewhat of a rainbow effect, but it looked terrible, so gave up on it :) Posted 4 years ago

                      @Ferdy, whyyy would you give up on a cicada collage?! You can't mention such a thing and then not share it. You're torturing us.

                      @Lisa, I agree that we need a cicada rainbow! It's been ~24 hours since you suggested this idea and I really don't understand why Ferdy hasn't fulfilled this request yet. ;P                       Posted 4 years ago

                        It really seriously looked bad. Trust me, I wouldn't give up on it if I could get it to look somewhat acceptable.

                        As for rainbows, I think a 4 bit rainbow is enough. Color is an illusion anyway.                         Posted 4 years ago

                          Acceptable response. 4-bit sure is nice. I won't complain. But, if any purple cicadas come your way, then.... Posted 4 years ago
