I can't tell you how many times Illustrator crashed while I was working on this. All three of its files corrupted and the entire program glitched and shut down multiple times.

However, it is done. I would like to work more on it, but either my computer or the program can't handle it. The image looks simple, but because every stroke is transparent, it takes massive amounts of memory and graphics to render it.

For 's contest;

My characters the Butterfly Prince and Copperbolt, his young bride, dressed up- Butterfly is a peacock and Copperbolt is a phoenix. Yes, she's tiny compared to him! Back when they'd be going to dress parties in their home land, she was only two while he's four or five, hence the size difference. That, and he's an Arab while she's an Icelandic.
