Description

“I am one of billions. I am stardust gathered fleetingly into form. I will be ungathered. The stardust will go on to be other things someday and I will be free.” - Laini Taylor, Days of Blood and Starlight

:bulletblue: The kind of inspiration derived from books is incomparable with any other kind, in my own little universe. This is hardly the first time I'm saying it, but it is the first time a piece was directly inspired by a book. In this case, I have done my utmost to do justice to Laini Taylor's "Daughter of Smoke and Bone", and the principal protagonist therein. Karou has stayed with me to this day, and Karou will stay with me for a long, long time to come. Her strength is unparalleled, and her undying hope is worthy of her name.
:bulletblue: Dedicated to Laini Taylor, to Ellai, to Brimstone and to angel-lovers.

:bulletwhite: On a personal note, I realize I have been away, and I apologize. I never plan on a hiatus (of the artistic variety), but it does happen nonetheless. I double-book my time, art takes a backseat to other pursuits, life occasionally gets away from me. The bright side, however, is in these very moments - the ones when I return and have something to show for it. :heart:
