Description
Hello DevArt. Finally registered after years of lurking around ^^.0.5 mechanical pencil on 65x50cm paper. Various inspirations but no ref used. Started back in 2004, and worked on it little by little. It's the only thing I drew in almost 3 years, and it's also my first serious try at a background, so any comment/critic welcome!
-"ageha" is "swallowtail butterfly" in japanese
- the white lily in her hair is a symbol of purity
- the volubilis in her hand is a symbol of lost hope
- make your own story
Edit: wow totally unexpected, thanks a lot for the DD. I will try to post more from now on

The attention to detail is mind-blowing! I could stare at it all day and never get bored of it >< She almost looks like she's floating.

Thank you. She actually is kind of floating since I drew the character and background separately, and I kind of gave up on a realistic integration in favour of the flow of the whole piece. Half failed though xD

awesoooome
if I didn't know how I'd fit her in, I'd ask if I could use her in a story I'm writing...
but as it is, this is an amazing piece. C;

Thank you, while I always draw based on very personal feelings I rather want to hear other people's story than babbling about my own.

Your pencil work is beautiful *_*

I have to agree with the last two comments. I am not a fan of the style but this is incredible. Especially for a .5mm mechanical pencil. Magnificent and beautiful your three years of work really show.
