[Art] Star's Son, Serpent's Slave

The people look solemn, which is fitting for the title. I like how the woman is far less defined than the person in the front. The boy(?)'s face seems to be dirty or to have a 5 o'clock shadow, which works with the dark streaked background really well.

    Boy, yeah. Well, young man, but I'm not sure what's the age of majority in his country.

    I was thinking of her being sort of a memory or a ghost... still there in the back of his mind when he's far from home.

      If so, that is interesting, since instead of being transparent and hard to see, she glows in a sense, which ties into the title in a thoughtful way.

        Yeah. The glow was very intentional. <3
        Stars are *literally* people in their world you see. Magical long-lived people whose journeys across the sky spell out prophecy, astrology-like. I'm not completely sure if she was fullblooded Star or half-Star herself - we know her father was one, we never heard about who her mother was, or whether she had one. It's possible when Stars are born they aren't born like humans.
