Description Full Title: The Star in the Sky

"Deux Claret" fanart inspired by my favorite line in the entire story. From "The Day We Hailed the Heavens", in Chapter 13.

Starscream's holoform and Alexis Paxton.

Finally finished!! >_O The scene that inspired this actually took place during the daylight hours, and Starscream wasn't using his holoform at the time, but since this was where the original scribble took me I decided to run with it.

There are a few things that I would like to tweak, so expect an update in the near future. I'm absolutely fail at hands, but considering all the trouble it gave me I don't think it came out half bad. I'm quite fond of Starscream's hairstyle as portrayed by and that's always how I've pictured it, so I decided to run with the idea. I would like to darken the sky and the shadows a bit more, and embellish the lighting cast by the starlight, as well as that reflected from Alexis' necklace and tears.

************************************************

From Deux Claret Part II - The Day We Hailed the Heavens, Chapter 13 Confide in Me.



“You are the star… stars are beautiful and full of light. I am not.”

“That’s not true,” she whispered, hugging his neck tightly. “Anyway… if I’m the star, what would you be? The scream?”

He chuckled slightly, which made her grin. Starscream rarely laughed, but it warmed her heart when he did – it was wonderful to hear him sound so carefree for once, especially when they were facing a time of such darkness. He answered her question in a low voice a moment later, and she felt the prickling beginnings of fresh tears when she heard it.

“I am the sky. The dark sky that embraces the star, and lets her dance in it.”

Oh my goodness, this is so beautiful... I loved that scene when I read the fanfic, and seeing a wonderfully drawn picture like this is absolutely a pleasure to any DC fans out there. The expressions on their faces were so nicely illustrated, and the coloring and the background look fantastic. Very romantic and lovely indeed. Great job!

reginastar [2009-07-10 05:29:52 +0000 UTC]

I agree 100% with everyone, this is a beautiful picture, and you've managed to capture this scene perfectly, even with the changes. That quote is one of my favorites from the 'Deux Claret' series. I have to agree with you, I love Starscream's hair all tousled like that, he looks very handsome, and Alexis is lovely as well. I just love those two. Great work!!

...

Words actually cannot express how beautiful that picture is...

I completely agreee with Rose. The scene was drawn extremely beautifully here, and I personally love how you drew 'Lex and 'Screamer. They look beautiful in your style and perfect for eachother under all those stars and the night sky. I truly envy your art, as I find myself completely incapable of achieving that sort of result with my drawings. This really is beautiful.

Good luck with more art, but it would seem that you don't need it

*blushes* I really, really appreciate the compliment. *hugs* Thank you so much! I'm so happy that I was able to visualize that moment like this, in almost a dream-like way.

Ironically enough, I find myself envious of your figure drawing and style, so I may end up harassing you for pointers at some point. xD

. . . ohmygod, I get fanart too?! *.*

*grins so widely her face hurts*

This is . . . beautiful. I'm so glad you liked that line! It took me ages to think of what Starscream could say he was after he insisted that Alexis was the star, hehe. And you've taken the scene and actually shown the star and the sky . . . *stares* That's exactly how I imagined it, too, with a shooting star blazing in glory across the heavens. What I love the most is Starscream's face in this, though - you've really captured some of his personality in there, right down to the ever-present little smirk. And look, you even remembered the scar on his cheek! *hugs you* God, he looks hot enough to eat. :] Alexis looks lovely, too, just as she's meant to. Her hair came out really beautiful - I wish I had half your talent in art! ;-; And the background . . . just lovely, really mysterious. The whole picture just encompasses the feelings I was trying to convey in that scene.

Thank you so, so much!

*laughs* Yes, you get fanart too!

*squee!* I'm happy that you like it! It took me so long to finally finish painting, but I feel as though all of the effort was definitely worth it with the result.

I can't even express how much I loved the last line of that chapter. I was struck. And then I had realized that after all of this time it was still lodged in my mind, so I needed to illustrate the "feeling". That one line describes their relationship so well.

I thought that scar was a nice touch to Starscream's character description. I'm really pleased with how the faces came out--especially his. ^_^

I know I said it already--but I'm so glad you like it! *hugs*
