Description

"Tähtien Äiti" (Mother of the stars)
Back when I tried to be some kind of fully-believing Pagany-thing, Akka was my "spirit guide". Now she's an OC :3 Her place in my world with Ilmarinen and the "Shadowmakers", is that she's the god of the dead. She looks after the stars, which are all loved ones who have passed on. For a long time she tried to be indifferent to Ilkka's search to find his wife amongst those stars - since one day she must be the one to also take him there (thus destroying the world) - but she's a wise and empathetic creature. She just couldn't bear his suffering... Nowadays they are very close friends.
(Watercolours, coloured pencil, white ink, 6x4 inches)

Soundtrack:
Catching the Sky - End of You

Dead Man's Eyes - Apocalyptica
Tumman Virran Taa - Ensiferum

It was intentional, but it wasn't planned It was one of the last stars I painted, I couldn't resist. Thank you, I'm glad you like it
