SciFi and Fantasy Art: Drowned Butterfly (Verdronken Vlinder)

Inspired by a Dutch song (Verdronken Vlinder, from Boudewijn de Groot)
Lemme translate the text below the drawing (those are some lines from the songtext ^~), beware for my crappy translations XP
To die like this with your paper wings
Just floating, after the flying in the clouds, you float here
To live I thought 'You should be a butterfly to fly far away from all life and all the pain'
I can live without flying, why should I care any longer for a butterfly who drowned in May
To live I really don't have to be a butterfly anymore.
the Dutch version is better XD, love that song *nods*
tried to make it appear like she was lying in water.. but it kinda failed ^^'
used some photoref for the pose

Evelien ´Snowowl´ Gommans replies: "Yeha.. it's a really beautifull song isn't it? maybe it'll sound a bit depressed or something, but I hope they'll play it at my funeral (I'm not planning on dying soon, but IF I die I hope they'll play it ^^)"
