Roughly 45+ hours


Upper torso mostly referenced from ~Odessa11stock
Dress is all drawn from my head aside, but I did use a couple tidbits from a tutorial in an old copy of ImagineFX
There is a couple bark texture brushes used over the trees I painted and those are from xtacyx420
butterfly ref sxc

btw this is the first piece done on my new PC =) I think it helped a LOT because it is faster and I was able to work in a larger scale than I usually do allowing for more detail. Also my new monitor is much better as far as picture and color!

75% of NaruHina & SasuSaku fans have gone to NaruSaku. If you are one of the 25% who hasn't, copy this in your sig.

I like how you're painted a butterfly on her face - and her dress is lovely :)

My wings have forgotten how to fly, because I've only been pretending to flap them...

the hues are so soft and magical... especially towards the bottom of the dress!! her pale skin makes the dress seem so much softer too, as if it's caressing her somehow... and that the monarchs are helping her to walk through the forest, at least that's how I interpret it!! :D beautiful, stunning, amazing :heart:

It is only when you can laugh at yourself that you are truly carefree. LAUGH ON MY FRIENDS!
