Metamorphosis — Description

If I'm going to start this year off right, I'm going to start it with the Eighth Doctor! And butterflies. ^__^ Lots of butterflies.
Butterflies are a thing with Eight. He has a butterfly room in his TARDIS, and frequent butterfly symbolism and recurring themes throughout his storied travels. I've painted him with butterflies a few times in my art before, but always wanted to do a portrait that focused directly on "The Doctor's butterflies." And so, here he is, surrounded by butterflies, gently holding a chrysalis as a newly-emerged butterfly unfurls its wings on his fingers.
Dedicated to Carolyn for drop-kicking my muse into its past timeline with her own beautiful Eighth Doctor artwork! I thought I might be rusty drawing Paul McGann after a few years, but it all came back to me. Sketch/WIPs on my Patreon!
