SciFi and Fantasy Art Swallowtail by Krystal Tyler

Tag As FavoriteComment		This picture was inspired by a beautiful Western Tiger Swallowtail that visited the tree outside my balcony back in August 2005. The other butterflies in the picture are as follows (clockwise, starting at the left): Anise Swallowtail, Pale Swallowtail, Giant Swallowtail. This guy sure is full of himself, isn't he?

Reference: Allison Theus' 'Shmexyness' for the background.

Colored pencils on 8.5 x 11 inch computer paper.

Ok, this is a very unique idea. I love how you incorporated the butterfly theme with a dragon, that's not something you see everyday. The colors are very vivid and I like how you posed him(?) with his head thrown back. Beautiful! 2

He sure is but with wings like that why shouldn't he?
I like this Pic, you seem to have captured the dragons very essence in this.
