Transformation symbol - Dark metaphor

Original character concept created in the style of dark surrealism with elements of symbolism. The image combines a skull instead of a head, butterfly wings, and a static, frozen body in draped clothing that resembles a pedestal or sarcophagus.
The main emphasis is on the contrast between the lightness and fragility of the wings and the heaviness of the figure. The butterfly wings symbolize the soul, change, or escape from the physical. The skull emphasizes the theme of mortality, and the linear simplicity and minimal color palette help focus attention on the symbols.
The illustration was made in Procreate: hand-drawn line outline, shades of gray, light texture for depth. The wings are detailed on a separate layer with semi-transparency and outline for a fragile effect.
