Just for fun, let's go over the cool psychedelic butterfly I posted a while back. A few moths ago I was Googling for companies that sell Vector Graphics and ran across a firm (forgot who they are) that was giving away five graphics free to entice you to buy more from them. I was really surprised that two of the five were images that would fit perfect on a paint job I was doing at the time. One of them was the butterfly. It literally took seconds to size it and cut two mask for the tail on a Proteus. You can see in the picture I just airbrushed yellow around the perimeter, orange was next and purple in the middle and the antennas.
Trust me it took longer to clean my airbrush and put in a new color than it took to paint it. I would say, I had five minutes at most on both sides of the rudder.
The spectral butterfly is what I waslooking for when I was naming my previous design which I eventually named Aesthesis. I wanted to name it Papillon but without the butterfly it would have been dumb. The spectral butterfly was to be masked at the root of the wing panels and overlap the fuse center. So many ideas....... Just not enough knowledge to execute them.
