Shooting star

Stunning is the word of the day! Because this piece, too, is visually stunning, like geez. The night sky is just gorgeous, and the shooting stars are beautiful. (The one blue streak to the bottom right is a nice frame as well.) There's such warmth and energy and happiness in the atmosphere. The way you've illustrated the lack of gravity through the hair and clothing is done so nicely. It really adds to the tone of the piece--lighter than air, not dragged down any more. You pulled that off very well.

My only gripe would be that I don't quite understand the almost-double image in the cloud. I tend to read the image as your friend pulling you up from this miasma of despair. If the cloud represents sadness and gloominess, why is this happy image of seeing the friend inside the cloud? And if the cloud represents your thoughts (while your eyes are closed), perhaps there should be dozens of other sad images below inside the cloud that the current one is dimming or softening. It all depends on what you're going for. (I do really like the choice to leave the lower half of Shushi unshaded, however. You're being pulled up into another dimension of fullness and brightness.)

...That was kind of a long paragraph, but don't let it deter you! This is gorgeous work. 8D
