Description Finally finished, 40+ hours and 4 months later it's done

Β Bit of symbolism going on as well. I do like doing pictures like this... though I'll leave it for you to figure out as its quite personal :nod

Congratulations if youve noticed the link between this pictures name and its lineart Papillion destinyblue.deviantart.com/art… They both mean butterfly in another language. Falter is an old germanic word but I like the doubble meaning of it as well, and Papillion is french but I love the sound of the word...

Done in OpenCanvas and with a wacom intuos tablet.

Questions and comments always appreciated

This picture is beautiful. It has such a peaceful and fitting background to suit the mood of the girl herself. The expression, the dress, the hair, the color. It's all perfect.

the coloring is amazing and the flow of her hair is beautiful. i like the shapes you used in her hair (does that even make sense? D: )to give it that movement.
i really like how you have the selective light coming through the window. very pretty.
