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!).

Looks really good, you're improving quickly ^^
The only flaw I find is that her dress isn't as relistic as the face, where you did a wonderful job!

Now there's a beautiful character not to be tangled with. She looks considerably less fragile than the butterfly wings would suggest.
