Lots of my inspiration for this came from the steampunk genre.

The hi res (4000px X 4000px) of this image is much better.

Link 1 : http://www.cgtextures.com/texview.php?id=18885 link to a black butterfly that was used as reference image in SBS step 1 and 2. It is mention as source not only in-total but in the SBS steps. It was not used in the final image.

Link2 : Maybe should have been
http://www.public-domain-image.com/nature-landscapes-public-domain-images-pictures/forest-public-domain-images-pictures/green-light-in-forest.jpg.html

it is on page 4 a small section of it was blurred and hue adjusted to unrecognizable colored blobs for the background.

I Like the result but...!
I think there's something missing in the materials, they have nice diffuse maps but for the leaves, a bump map is missing. Also the wings and the leaves should be somewhat translucent, they are too opaque.

But nice result!

keep it up!

author says:

Thank you for the observation 3xistenz... The leaves has normal map applied,but it don't seem to show up real will in the leave in the for ground... and the wing on the left would have been a lot darker with out translucent applied. I was thinking of giving the wing some transparency.. but then after looking at other butterfly wings it is not transparent except fore a very few breed.
