gorgeous Stac, real nicely done!

Wavey (Apr 25, 2004)

beautiful rendering, looks so much like the source! i think you even have the contrast better than mine.

davincipoppalag (Apr 25, 2004)

I like it even better now, without the vignette frame.. very lovely..

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Apr 25, 2004)

First I'll sprinkle Sevin Dust on it and then I'll stick a pin in it. ;) very prettiful.

davincipoppalag (Apr 25, 2004)

Cindy..wouldn't it be more sporting if you made a lil tiny bow out of a twig and some thread..and shot needles at this from there?

Aubrey (Apr 25, 2004)

Ahhhh a Monark... They've always been my favorite butterfly... and nobody better lay a finger or pin on it!! It's too pretty

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Apr 25, 2004)

Well, If I were Thumbelina, maybe... but I'm thinking now maybe I'll just pull the wings off of it and step on it. HAH!

staci (Apr 25, 2004)

*yawn* doesnt the badass routine get boring?

DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Apr 25, 2004)

Nope. edit: Oh, that might get deleted - it's one word. Perhaps it would be better if I did this: tell you what you already know... You did an excellent job on this, I love the way the butterfly stands out from the background, and the detail on the wings is almost perfect. They actually look like they would feel powdery if you touched them, and the tiny little legs are very accurately done. I like this picture very much or I would not have commented on it at all. There.

EverDream (Apr 26, 2004)

Absolutely breathtaking...looks just like a close up shot of the little guy. Wonderful job. :D

thug (Apr 27, 2004)

congratulations, another showcase!! I felt this would be chosen, it's definitely top shelf. I think it's fantastic, especially the lighting on the leaf and bg.

esaure (Apr 27, 2004)

Oh so lovely, spooky on how real it looks. the colors of the wings are very niiice, they blend so nicely.

xwindflyer (Apr 28, 2004)

This is marvelous. I love the way the field of focus is on the butterfly, and the folage in the back ground is out of focus. Very pohtographic like.

staci (Apr 28, 2004)

thanks everyone for the niceness..this was inspired and directly taken from a very beautiful photo by my friend Wavey..at times I wonder why draw exactly like the reference, if you can just look at the photo! the benefit for me is everytime I do a realistic picture I learn a little more for the next time I draw an original...the benefit for you is getting to see a rendering of something you might never come across otherwise..fortunately i captured this one well

Bumble_Beez (Jul 22, 2004)

WOW! That looks so real! I bet it looks just like the photo! ^_^

Yuugi-chan (Sep 17, 2004)

My goodness! I thought it was a photograph at first!

ak.to.v.his.di (Dec 22, 2004)

woaw! this is amasing!!! it looks like a picture! it's so real looking....omg.... this is so cool!! you did an excellent job!

nekodesu (Apr 3, 2005)

wow!!! truly excellent O.O the focus is just perfection...the whole thing is perfection...wow

RitsukaAoyagi (Jul 1, 2005)
