I wanted to capture the beauty of the butterfly - and how better than with a stunning Monarch butterfly. I was inspired by the Pxleyes blue

nice color....

Thank you!

NICE

Not bad

The front on view makes it hard to see the detail in the butterfly.

agreed with the itgik.
but overall best result....

A bit of transparency on the wings may have made look a little bigger and less bunched up.
Also with the body have you mapped the UV's as the texture looks stretched around the thorax.
The leaf is great (but it has a couple of sharp edges behind the butterfly).

Finally you may be able to show the wings off better with a different angle as they looked really good on the top view in the SBS

did it came to real too ? should make a pic n show us

very nice work.....

thx a lot, it will be executed in few days. If i didnt get to post the real one before the contest ends, i'll add it to aan an album
