Description I was not planning to use color besides the dark blue on this one but those inks are just so pretty.  Inspired by rachaelm5 's work.
This one turned out much better than I thought it would at the beginning.  I might update with a better picture later just did not want to wait any longer.

EDIT:  Updated the picture.

All that intricate linework sure paid off! Really nice work.
I also like the slight use of the silver here and there It's best not to overuse the high-sheen colours, but you applied it really well.

Something else I think you should try is get a stick of charcoal. It smudges really easily and makes it super easy to create an even layer of grey on the background. When you weaken the whiteness of the paper background it will make your subject pop out really nicely, all the more with silvery / metallic pigments.
(You can use a pencil too, but it will just take a bit longer and the grain of the paper is more easily visible.)

I have charcoal.  I do not like it as much as pastels.  I was going for the tonal paper look on this one but might use something like that in the future.

I love where you went with this.  The intricate design of the wings, and all of the detail work on the scales, is simply stellar!  Great stuff!
