Description I have no idea where that title came from. I think I scraped it off the bottom of my chair in history class. Eew. Anyway, here is the final version of my deviation 'Want the Moth'. It took some dang hard effort and a heck of alot of elbow grease, not to mention about five hours straight, but it's finally done! I now pause for a tea moment, my personal version of a coffee moment. (-.- mmmmm . . . tea. . .) As with 'Flightless', make what you want of it. This is the only watercolor I have completed in the past semester. The rest are about half a year old or more.

This scene began as a half-remembered dream, then an itch in the back of my brain, then an all-out obsession with this idea. A woman, or girl, really, floating in nowhere, reaching out for a massive luna moth like it's all that matters. Which, I suppose, it is!

This...is...amazing.

Really, there's just some sort of emotion portrayed in this, but I'm not sure what it is...aslo, because you requested a Critique, it's hard to tell the angle of the Luna Moth. Other than that, I love this beyond all reason.

The detail on the butterfly is exceptionally well done. It almost seems to fly out of the image. The womanΒ΄s shading is also very nice. Love the colors in the background, it gives off such a powerful feeling.
