Artist's Comments

"Since ancient times, butterflies have been seen as incarnations of proud souls, whose beautiful forms tempt those who see them... and whose poisonous powder sends those who try to capture them down a cliff of death."

UPDATE 4/27/08:
OMG I TOTALLY REWORKED THIS BAMF TO PIECES $#@%#!!

so this is basically a personal fetish portrait, combining all my favorite elements... waterlily, butterfly, 9 of hearts, badass soldier cap that i will acquire some day, black and white, gothic style... you get the idea 8D
the character's name is malice [whom i initially named belle] and will appear in my latest project, folie à plusieurs, due in graphic novel format!

Wow, what a neat piece! The inking is beautifully bold, and I like how the elements blend into each other-- especially how the eye looks like it could be a part of the butterfly wing.

Lovely picture. I love how you outlined it. ^^ The lines are so well defined... and so smoothly done. I love her hair and her eye. It's just so beautiful!! And you can actually draw LIPS!! *o* :+fav: =D

Hold on to me love,
You know I can't stay long...
All I wanted to say was
I love you and I'm not afraid...

There must be some place here that only you and I could go
So I can show you how I dream away everyday
Try so hard to disregard
The rhythm of the rain that drops
And coincides with the beating of my heart
