Monarch Butterfly
This is my second and latest vexel, a monarch butterfly. The shading is very subtle, and I like the simplicity of the piece. The actual body of the butterfly is missing a little detail because the photo was darker and it was hard to see any details. I couldn't decide whether to vexel the flowers in the background of the photo also, but in the end I decided not to. The photo can be found here: http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=208082 .

It took me seven to eight hours to complete it, but granted a human subject would have taken much longer. I really tried to take my time, as I wanted it to be the best possible. Even still, I'm not sure if something needs tweaking... haha, I'm a perfectionist like that. ^_~ I don't know if this is considered easy compared to others' work, though. Every gold and white area was drawn separately with the pen tool (of course, I had the matching pieces together on one layer for each - one for gold pieces, one for white pieces).

I hope you all enjoy it! ^_^ *pets it*
