I absolutely adore this piece! It's so busy yet cohesive with all the embellishments and background elements. The clear cultural significance of the markings on their skin and clothes. How the tone is somber yet magical and hopeful. Plus the little lore bit in the description. Magnificent work. 🤌

Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate it when someone notices the details in my artwork.

It was a challenge trying to convey the idea that this scene is about an astronomer and that it's taking place inside an observatory with a telescope, but I think I succeeded!✨

You're very welcome, and I think you did a stellar job of conveying the scene. This looks like a mystical observatory. With the telescope, star, and eye imagery. Plus the book she's holding with the planet suspended above the pages. It looks like a place of quiet yet profound research and reverence.

An additional curiosity: I was inspired by the astral observatory from the game "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask" to make this artwork. It's my old game comfort place!✨

Haha, I shared this with a friend who is a huge Zelda fan because I felt it had Zelda vibes. So, you nailed it. Majora's Mask is an old favorite of mine as well, and I think you're doing justice to that inspiration. You're doing great, and this isn't the first piece of your art that's captivated me.

I'm very glad to know that!
