Description
Light: [1] Something that makes things visible or affords illumination. [2] Of little weight; not heavy.I used two different definitions of light to make this; the first referring to the lightbulb and the second referring to the butterfly.
This took a lot longer than I had planned on but I think it's worth it. I know that the lightbulb should have some shading on the glass but I'm just so happy to actually finish it that I don't really care. :]
Used my own lightbulbs for references. Used this as a reference for the butterfly. Thank you.
Comments and critique are greatly appreciated. Point out my flaws, make me better. :]
This is the third piece of the one hundred theme challenge. I am doing variation one. I plan on doing all of them in pen but who knows.
I give full permission for *100ThemesChallenge to display this in their gallery.

Wow! I loved this piece as soon as I saw it, and then even more when I read about the witty concept of "light" and "light". It's funny actually, because another meaning of "light" would be emotionally light, funny, or not serious - but the emotional impact to me actually seems rather poignant, as if the butterfuly is trapped. This piece is just interesting on so many levels! And that's before I've even mentioned just the technical, visual virtuoisity of your rendering.
By the way, I also love this whole idea of the 100 themes. Very cool.

definatly a fav, I like the mix of very detailed butterfly and bayonet but simple clean glass, very contrasty, I think if you tryed to do minimal shading on the glass with reflections it would ruin the attention to detail on the butterfly.

I really think the lightbulb looks fine without shading. I think the shading would kind of ruin the effect of the butterfly. This picture is wonderful and the details...wow.

Interesting idea! ThatΒ΄s one of the most creative interpretation of this point of the challenge I have seen so far.
I really like how you did the butterfly, the way you drew it makes it seem fragile and light, just as it should be to match the title.
As you already stated the lightbulb could use a bit of shading...as you have already done the shading on the bit of glass inside IΒ΄m pretty sure it would work out just as good.

Thank you. :]
I might eventually shade in the glass but as of now I'm working on the next theme. But I agree it would look much better with the shading.
