Nymph of the Pupillan

In the uncharted forests on the planet Lapillipi, butterfly larvae that fail metamorphosis become nymphs, ethereal entities who protect their local ecosystem, this is a rare occurrence that only happens once in a blue moon. The birth of a new nymph means the coming of a new age for the grove, in which a fatal fight between the old and young ensues.

One should never make a nymph meet another, for they are violently territorial, despite their gentle facade.
There is an exception however, during the butterfly mating season, where two nymphs may come together against all odds, it is an act so forbidden that even the rules of nature can’t fathom, for a nymph is cursed to never love.

I mainly painted this piece to explore the textures I would use in my IP, Pupillary.
