The Moon and a Star

Description

One of those original art pieces I was saying I would like to make more of. :D I actually finished this all the way back on Valentine's Day, but decided for a reason I honestly don't remember not to post it. So here it is after quite a long wait in line. 

This piece was inspired by an artwork I saw on Pinterest that I thought was SO, so cute. Quite a few big changes were made to the idea I was going to do in the beginning, (naturally) but I wouldn't wish it went any other way cause I really like how it turned out. 

Something notable about the process is that I tried, for the first time in a finished piece, a lineless style. It was super easy at first, and I thought I might even switch to using it for future works. Anything to ditch the tedious job of inking.  But then as I got past the flat color stage I really struggled to add the amount of detail and contrast I wanted, and I ended up spending more time on it than if I had just done the inks. :lol: Now, I wouldn't be opposed to using the line-less style again, but maybe I'll just keep it to my sketches and smaller pieces from here on. ^^;

Anyway, I hope you guys like this (late Valentine's? :shrug: ) piece! Here's to wishfully hoping I'll be posting again here soon.

How absolutely beautiful! 2015YupiANanEmote002 There is such a timeless story, I feel, to these character's interactions which is incredibly romantic! The Lady in the Moon seems so elegant, serene and soft, while her hopeful Star has such an eager, excited expression as he offers the glowing flower from his tiny celestial garden. Maybe she's been wistfully lonely until he came along? AHHH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!

AND YOU WENT LINE-LESS!! Although it took a lot of work, in the end you really did achieve the perfect amount of contrasts and highlights because at first glance I couldn't tell this had no outlines. Great job!! Not to mention you always have a keen eye for colors, and I'm particularly drawn to the soft aura around the Moon and her pale lilac dress, and the flow of her hair is gorgeously done too. 

I'm not sure if I've complimented you yet on how you do starry skies, but my word, it's cool how you can use textures and different colors to make the open blackness of outer-space honestly have depth. It looks genuinely infinite, without being like a blank slate, you know? TEACH ME! Dazzling!!

I'm wishfully hoping to see more from you soon, too, AC!! XD Take care, my friend, and keep up the awe-inspiring work!! :la:
