I would call this more of a personal piece, and it shows :3

Is there a meaning to the melting...the butterfly...?

I dunno if there is anything specific with the melting. I'm often extremely emotional and cry a lot, I often see things as melting when things get extreme enough in my life to hallucinate(like lack of sleep ugh)

The butterfly has both a tie to my mental state and my past. Used to raise monarch caterpillars when I was a kid from eggs. We would release them back onto my grandparent's plant nursery to help both the population of the butterflies and for the benefit of the flower. Right now I feel like a larva struggling through life. I don't understand anything, I am soft and weak and can get really ugly when I have my breakdowns. I always see the butterfly as the escape from my current state. I don't think it will happen until I'm old and have gotten to grow a hard shell.

That's my mental process of it anyway. I think about it too much :B

*hugs*

As someone with an arthropoid 'sona, this amuses me.

It's gorgeous, and one of those pieces that elicits a reaction from the viewer.

Made me think of David Bowie for some reason. Neat imagery!

<3 thanks so much!

Amazing job! You're a great artist!

No seriously, this is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing it! :D
