Monarch Butterflies (Danaus plexippus) eat a steady diet of milkweed when they are caterpillars which makes them poisonous to predators.


So yeah, i have decided to do at least a few butterfly and moth fairies. I hate series, i tend to lose interest quickly. But i have always loved monarch butterflies and there are a few others that i am currently working on...so i guess that makes it a series. I had a really fun time with the colour scheme on this one. I was worried how i would make orange look good, i'm not a big fan of orange in general. But ~tlagrange has been helping me out with colour theory and i think i am improving somewhat (hopefully!).

I looooooove the fantasy theme of your gallery. Your fairies remind me a little of Amy Brown's art.

And with this one... you've pulled off an almost delicate, stained glass feel with her wings. The contrast in colors is eye catching without being glaring. Beautiful work.

Hey, I could be wrong her but I think :icontackyanimations: slightly stole your design of this with one of her 'Original' character, Goldfish. Check out her page if you need to.

The wings are beautifully done. They really look like a Monarch's wings. Also, I really love the dress design.
