This picture is based on my dreams, the character being as close as possible to a shape that I sometimes take upon when dreaming, the green (and tornado) representing the color that folks who are occasionally after that character for whatever reason tend to wear, the ruins are there for my habit of roof-hopping in dreams, the sea is there for the unknown. And the butterflies are something that I've been drawing for years absolutely everywhere, and to me they symbolise something fragile but at the same time certain immortality of the spirit.

And a sidenote about wings, I know the shape is really strange, but that's how they're supposed to be, without folds or fingers that you'd see on typical bat wings, just one long pointy thingy and a really thick membrane.
