Charlie and Mary playing with caught butterflies on a summer evening.

Am I the only kid that did this? Catch them in jars and feed them sugar water... 'till I realized how cruel it was and how quickly they died, haha. :iconcryingmingplz:

Charlie: Butterflies only live three days, anyway.

This is such a cute, yet emotional Picture, it reminds me of my childhood, i always wanted to catch them and rip off their wings (:iconsopsplz: yep i was that cruel -.-) to use them to fly (man i was dumb i mean :iconcannotevenplz:) but my mother told me, that they carry dreams in the Colors of their Wings, and are big dreams come true, that's why i stopped killing them. But enough of myself, this Picture is really amazing i don't know why, but it just is :D

The hair is amazing as always, and their eyes are beautiful. The blur effect you added on some of the butterflies is a fantastic detail. I also noticed you used... BLUE AND ORANGE!!! haha I love it.

However, this might just be me, but the shadows of their bodies on the scene are either not there or seem like they should be in a different spot based on where I perceive the light to be coming from. It's light criticism but I feel I should mention it... I also might not know what I am talking about.


I think this is one of my favorite pieces you've done. It's very memorable and the color scheme is fantastic. Keep it up, Alex!

Thanks!
Haha, to be honest I went kind of insane on this picture because I didn't use a reference and after a certain point of staring at the same thing, my eyes kind of stop seeing the mistakes.
But I went back and touched it up, the parts that bothered me with fresher eyes and I think I got some of the spots you mentioned.
Candlelight has really weird properties, and next time I definitely need to do more research on how it works. For something like this, though, I think taking liberties to keep the dreamy feel is acceptable... man, I sure hope so! :iconlazepoolplz:
Thanks for taking the time to critique me, though! I really appreciate it.
