Accept Yourself

Transcript:
A four panel wordless webcomic:
Panel 1: A light shines on a large silk cocoon lying on a bed in a bedroom. A long crack on its surface indicates that it's about to open.
Panel 2: A young butterfly with black wings emerges from the cocoon. She sits up, still partially covered in silk threads. A little lost, she touches her face.
Panel 3: She looks at herself in the mirror, disappointed and saddened by her large, dark wings: she holds a colored pencil drawing of the wings she wishes she had.
Panel 4: When she steps outside, not so sure of herself, she is surprised to find that her unique appearance has fascinated a young fairy whose wings are still small.

Personally, I think the black wings are badass!

Hey David, that's a very lovely comic and I am so sorry for what I'm about to say... but panel 1 looks like Cookie Monster. 😮
Edit: The comic has now been changed to obscure the "eyes" and reduce the similarity, see downthread for a comparison with the previous version. 😀

@julian Was thinking the same ^__^ #CantUnsee
★davidrevoy
@jfml @julian Thanks again. Here is my emergency quick fix (gif of before and after under).
I'll edit the main post with the change now 😅 .

@julian as a fellow cookie monster lover I just need to ensure you've had the opportunity to watch this: https://youtu.be/U5X4N2exOsU
★silverfish@yourwalls.today
@julian her colour scheme afterwards matches too... now headcanoning that she eventually becomes a vocalist in a black metal band

★Justwes@mastodon.social
my daughter asked: “Why can’t they make this a book?”
★davidrevoy
@Justwes Thank you for relaying this cute feedback! 😊
★futurebird@sauropods.win
Is she sad because she isn't an ant?
donkeyblam@tech.lgbt

@meriem moi je vois une amitié naissante à la dernière image. Quelque soit la couleur des ailes...

Damn, the first one was already so good, I didn't think you could 1-up it still 🤯🥰
davidrevoy
@timnolli Thank you very much
yrdael@mastodon.art
oui donc il y a effectivement quelque chose qui flirt avec la mélancolie dans ce thème. Bien joué, je comprend mieux où tu voulais en venir. Super dessin, comme d'habitude.
davidrevoy
@yrdael Merci 😊 Oui, il y a l'insatisfaction de la fée qui est commune aux deux épisodes et récurrente, avec la case de confrontation devant le miroir.

Awesome!
Like @bookynette I see potential for a sequel to this sequel.
Another one?

(Sorry, I just love your works. 😅)
★davidrevoy
@AxelStieglbauer @bookynette 😅 Haha, I think I'll keep only these two episodes; they are perfectly mirrored and can loop for infinity. 😇

Personally, I think that black wings are more beautiful than that colored wings. They are more imposing, in addition to having a lot of beauty too!
★davidrevoy
@omserafim Same here 🙂 A little confidence, a better dress and accessories will make her uniqueness shine like no fairy has seen before.

tfw no butterfly goth gf :blobcatoh: ★
ToonLink@fandom.ink
Aww... She wanted to be like that other girl so much, but she didn't turn out the way she wanted. And she can't go back to how she was.
It can cause a lot of hurt when you try to set yourself up to unrealistic expectations, but I can't deny that it's a super big mood, too.
★utopify_org@veganism.social
Just beautiful ❤️
★lw64@floss.social
this is soo beautiful! Where do you get your ideas from? Pure creativity or are there inspirations? :D
davidrevoy
@lw64 Thank you! And about the ideas, they come mostly when I'm under the shower or I'm doing DIY and gardening. It's unfortunately super rare they appear when I'm in front of my sketchbook or my text editor. 😅
★Pezito@mamot.fr
This reminds me of the animé "Haibane Renmei". ♥
confusomu@twoot.site
magnifique ! :dragnAww:
★joan8ied@mastodon.art
At least, you can try to accept that you are not an admirer of your own type of appearance... That might help too.
