Never Seen Stars

Description

The night is thick with light; like every night since she was born. A neon ooze contaminates the sky, and drowns the stars.
She could tell you every constellation, their ages, moons and stories: But she has never seen one star.
She's learned so much about them, and desire to see them burns inside her, like a million tiny suns.



This drawing is for the travelers, for those who want to see beyond their own four walls.
I know I try to travel as much as I can with my work, and chose conventions in places I would like to see. I thought I'd seen stars till I went out outback Australia, where the sky drips with them. While there I learned many people from Australia have never seen snow, which makes sense when you think about it :) (being English I've barley seen sun ;)) Mm, I know there's still so much more I want to see and experience. 

Where do you want to go, and what do you want to see? :heart:

I'm not content with a lot of elements in this, but sometimes you just have to let it go #thankselsa

For what it's worth, I think you did an excellent job. I love the way you made the light shine through her hair. And I have been lucky enough to go on several sea voyages. One night I went out on the deck and onto the focsle. With no land in sight, the sky was brimming with stars. And then I looked down and found that the ship was sailing through fluorescent algae. The churning of the ship was exciting them and the whole underwater part was glowing green, not unlike the stars in your picture. It is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
