Contest Entry : I Bleed Starlight

Description


This is for a contest, ~Picture My Words~ , held by CLassicNightmare [link]
There are two quotes that we can choose to convey it into pictures, and I chose "I bleed starlight" because of reasons.

There's this book --Chicken Soup for the Soul Graphic Novel (#3)-- and in one of the story, a small flower that struggled to bloom was mentioned. This small plant wasn't able to bloom it's flower because it was covered by bushes and didn't get enough sunlight. This plant species' stalk wasn't supposed to grow more than 10cm, but it grew all the way until it reaches the sunlight--until it became two metres long. And after all that, the only one who saw the bloomed flower was the owner of the house, and after a week, it wilted.

The sun itself is a big star, giving light --giving hope-- to everyone. The plant, through the small gaps between the bushes, was able to follow the 'star'light --follow hope-- and bloomed with all it's glory. It's not a problem for the plant if no one saw the flower, because it had lived to the fullest.

I started sketching this after I found an old notebook of mine that was filled with my doodles from fifth grade. In it, there's this comic that I drew myself, about a "special dormitory" that was filled with people with extraordinary powers. It was mainly a humorous, comedy oriented comic when I first started out. However, somewhere along the way, I wanted to make it a more serious comic, and thus I kept on developing them and improving them further.

I remembered that half of these guys are too overpowered :iconpapmingplz: and I tried to tone their powers down while improving their backstories and personalities.

.....OKAY, SO AS TO WHY I CHOSE THE QUOTE--

as I improve my characters, I realized that each one of these characters--or maybe even us, humans-- are trying our best to be just like the flower--following hope. However, each and every one of us carries hope within us. We can even give hope to someone else. That's why, if hope flows within us, then we bleed "hope"--we bleed "starlight".

If we put it like that, every single one of us EXCEPT JUNKO ENOSHIMA LOL JK can proudly say, "I bleed starlight."

--OK THAT WAS CHEESY :iconomgcryplz: but I hope you understand? ?? ???????

if u still no understand then try to imagine magi the labyrinth of magic and imagine that we are following the rukh's flow or something

still no?
