"Everything's gray...
But not in Heaven they say."


Ugh, this was a really fun one to work on! One of my first attempts at a.... Semi background! I ponder where she's at though... (It honestly reminds me of those fences that surround cemetaries... And it has that mood, too... o.o;;; ) And yes, anyways. This is Ilex... I tried making the coloring a wee bit darker, so it could be seen better. It was really fun using the markers to color this. (I used colored pencils, pen, pencil, and markers.) I realize the smudge on the tail, but I couldn't really fix that. xD!!!

...You know, maybe there's some secret meaning behind this. xD!

Looking at it now, it looks as if she's kinda dressed for a funeral. All the dark and all. And as I said, it looks like she's walking along a cemetary wall. And really, that quote I put, kinda just popped into my head the last minute. And I just thought it'd be cool to make a butterfly with color, and grayscale.

But now looking at it, I see something different.

Look at the quote, think of a cemetary, think of her dressing for a funeral, and especially... Focus on the butterfly.

Is she grieving over a lost loved one? Why does the butterfly, with both gray and colored wings, come to her so willingly? Perhaps, is it the symbol of losing someone she cares for? The gray wings, symbolizing that person isn't with her anymore physically, but the colored wings, symbolizing they'll always be with her spiritually?

Is it also a coincidence I was listening to "In Loving Memory" by Alter Bridge, dedicated to the loss of a loved one.

Okay, now I'm intrigued.

That's what I was thinking! I mean seriously. All those coincidences I didn't mean to happened, happened. It has to symbolize something important! xD

Her fur is actually a sort of light brown, creme color, and red-brown. It just doesn't look it, 'cause of the evil digital... =P!!!

Yeah, it was seriously fun doing this.
