This tiny knight is based on a butterfly called the Mangrove Skipper. As always it found an entirely different image than I had in mind. Originally she was going to have black hair and, although I still had the insectoid plates in mind for her armor, it too was going to be dark. As it turns out the Knight of the Mangrove is a creature of light. She also became more androgynous in each incarnation. The only thing that really stayed true to the first sketch was her face.
It is currently available for sale as a print or on several other items at Cafe Press. You can find it by clicking on the Cafe Press logo on the side bar.
