Very, very nice! I admire how you used the watercolours... it almost looks like acrylics! I'm guessing that you used only little water to dilute the colours?

That detail is stunning, with the transparent upper wing and the veins in the leaf and all...
I think the red wing is looking at me, with that big blue eye in the upper area of it. It's a wonderful adaptation, on the butterflies' part, to create the illusion of being larger than they actually are by forming a false eye. I must wonder, though, whether this one's false eye will really scare off the enemies, or simply entrance them.

You have some nice detail on the leaf there, and the wings look good too. I thought it was a photograph at first.

ChaosRuby In reply to DreamingMyth [2006-05-31 05:11:25 +0000 UTC]

It is strange because I have so few comments on this. Technically it is among my best. it is also one of the most recent. Maybe I will resubmit it.

Thanks. Can I ask you a question? What does "PARENT" mean when it says "REPLY/PARENT" on an e-mail? Also, how do I put up emoticons? Do you mind my asking? If so just let me know.
