OOoo... I am loving this. Especially the mix of sepia tone and color. Very very well done.

Everybody already said that, but it's true those butterflies truly are amazingly drawn and designed I also love the braids, must have been a bit long to draw !

Thank you! Well, I definitely had to use references, and there were no complicated angles... otherwise who knows how they would have turned out! Lol! As for braids... I LOVE drawing them and thankfully it doesn't take me too long to do them.

Thank you again so so very much. I can't even really fully express what this means to me. It is absolutely perfect, and as close to what I had in mind as someone who can't mindread can get.
Much love and hugs

I love that you chose to make the butterflies in colour while the rest is sepia, it's a really beautiful outcome and she looks so sad!

MadameThibodeau In reply to Sleyf [2014-07-18 01:41:07 +0000 UTC]

It is, unfortunately enough, a memorial portrait. Aylsa is sort of a representation of myself, and so while I told Gnewi exactly the layout I wanted, she was the one who decided to make her so sad.

Sleyf In reply to MadameThibodeau [2014-07-18 08:44:42 +0000 UTC]

Awww no, the part that no longer exists? Or an older part of you that you moved on from?  That's interesting, no wonder she's sad!

MadameThibodeau In reply to Sleyf [2014-07-18 17:02:58 +0000 UTC]

Aylsa is a part of me that is older, from when I was a teenager, but since I don't feel as old as I actually am, she still very much represents me. The memorial is for someone from my real life whom I had lost.

Gnewi In reply to Sleyf [2014-07-16 02:17:04 +0000 UTC]

I really like the color vs. sepia, too! It was actually the idea of MadameThibodeau! It was a great idea, I think!

Yes, she is definitely sad.

Heya- long time no see! This is a gorgeous piece- the butterflies are soo pretty and I love the fact that they're the only colour in the piece and each one has a different design on the wings- plus your shading on hair and eyes is great as always!

Hello dear!! It has been such a long, long time!! How have you been?!

Thank you! I am glad you like it. I had originally drawn all the butterflies the same kind as the one on her shoulder, but I didn't like it so much and decided to do them all differently. I am so glad you like it!

InkyRose In reply to Gnewi [2014-07-13 19:53:50 +0000 UTC]

How have you been? My life's pretty depressing at the moment, but it's in God's hands
I love how you draw butterflies- they look gorgeous!
We must do an art trade sometime- just let me know when you have time!

I have had a rough last couple months. All kinds of things happening and I have been down, but I think things are starting to go better.  I am sorry that things are not going well for you. I am sad to read this. Yes, God has it in his hands. Sometimes it is hard for us to see Him working during those times, but we can trust that He is! I will be praying for you, dear!

Thank you! Well, I avoided any complicated angles on the butterflies, otherwise it would have been a disaster!

Yes, for sure, I still want to do a trade sometime. It still might be awhile, but I definitely want to! I will let you know once things ease up here time-wise. I still have some art that I owe and am working on a writing collab. But, once that's done I am hoping to find the time.

So beautiful! The contrast of the purple butterflies against the sepia tones is just amazing... and she's so gorgeous! I'm in awe!

Thank you!! The purple with the sepia was a wonderful idea by madamethibodeau! I am so glad she suggested that mix!
