Constellation Moth on a Gothic Observatory
About This Constellation Moth Illustration

Stippling and intricate linework shape an enigmatic gothic fantasy with an absurd edge. The idea suits a fantasy book cover or a night-sky themed phone wallpaper, where the observatory and its strange visitor can set the scene.
