Description The title has been stuck in my head for years. Tried to make something of it. It's a bit "eh" but I'm glad I got it out.

That is beautiful! I LOVE IT. It almost looks like the butterfly is sucking out or infiltrating her soul. My goodness, this is amazing.

Butterfly eats your nose. It is an evil butterfly.

If you don't mind my saying so, this does sort of look like Katara from Avatar, though I'm not saying you're just copying, or anything of that sort. It would look as though Katara is water-bending the shape of a butterfly.

It's a beautiful picture, either way. I respect the amount of time you must've put into designing the hair.

Very cool.

Usually the term "electric butterfly" makes me think of this video. [link]

My first thought was that it sounds like a euphemism for some kind of drug ("I'm tripping the electric butterfly!") and now I can't get that thought out of my head.

Yeah, I can see that.

WOW! So fan-freaking-tastic. I especially love the contrast between the light 'electric' feel of the butterfly and the dark 'brooding' background. You colouring is also amazing.

Simple, yet mesmerizing. Love the contrast between greys/blacks/muted tones and the POP of the electric blue.

Beautiful hair, I love these more poetic (if I'm allowed to call it that) pieces you've been posting lately.
I thought of a description for this - The woman is dead, or asleep, or under a curse or something, and the butterfly shocks her back to life/consciousness. I know, I'm silly in my interpretations of things.

backstagemezzo [2010-03-04 23:22:12 +0000 UTC]

The way the butterfly and her eyes seemed linked reminds me of an online manga where a character's soul becomes a dragonfly.

Also. That hair is sooo touchable. Wow.
