Tag As FavoriteComment		I need a better title, but I am at a loss. I couldn't seem to come up with somthing better. I wanted a single word that was big and scientific sounding that is actually a word.

Are the butterflies turning into a dragon for protection from preditors? Is the dragon turning into butterflies to protect itself from preditors? Are the butterflies eating the dragon? It seems that everyone interprets what they see differently. What do you think?.

*done with Micron pen and Prisma color pencils*

That's a very nice idea because all these nice and beautiful butterflies are united to one mighty and magical dragon flying into the light.
Am I right when I think that your scanner messed the sky a little bit up and the original is a bit different? Somehow it seems to me like that (don't ask me why, I'm sorry, I don't know).

This is a lovely, inspirational piece of art! I love it... I think it's more complicated than just some butterflies eating a dragon etc. It seems quite dark and mysterious! It looks like it represents somebody's mind, body or soul slowly but surely deteriorating!...But thats probably just me lol! Anyways I love how you were even able to make the moon look like it's really shining!

I really like the concept and composition of this picture, and the way the silhouettes are lined in red to suggest the intense glow of the moonlight. Personally, I think the butterflies are turning into the dragon! 2

I like your first suggestion that the butterflies are turning into a dragon. You could just call them Dragon Butterflies when they’re apart and a Butterfly Dragon when they’re together. And the title? ButterflyDragonButterflies. 14 Seriously, I have no idea, but it’s an intriguing picture.
