Here is my art outside assignment and my tribute piece to my dad....

I have a lot of things to explain here.

Firstly, it's based off of a show a bit called Dead Like Me. If you've never seen it, it's about a girl who becomes a 'reaper,' someone who must remove the souls from people who have died or are going to die, so that they can go on to whatever is next. When it is time for them to pass over or whatever you want to call it, a bright light appears in the form of whatever they really want or really love, and they run into it. Only the person it is for and the reapers can see it, and once they walk into it it goes away. None of the reapers know what it actually is.

I have found a clip which shows/explains that a bit, and explains the title as well. It was one of my favorite parts from the show and the song gives me goosebumps every time. [link]

My dad and I both really loved Star Trek and the future it predicts, and I think that if he were to see a light like that, this is what it would look like. I know that we both wanted to live in that future.

If you look closely, there is a figure standing 'next' to the starship. That's not an alien, it's a person. Anyone who knew my dad well should know who that is, who would be waiting there.

-Technicals of the piece-

The sky (minus the stars) and the tree leaves were done in acrylic (scanned in and edited), the starship is a photo of the model of the Enterprise NCC 1701-D from the Star Trek Experience that I took (before it closed T_T). And I added glowyness and changed the color a bit obviously. (It's the Next Generation ship)

The transparency of the tree leaves bothers me a bit but I may or may not fix that later.

--

Also, I wish to add that I don't see this actually happening for a while. He's still heeeerrreeee.

Mm...I think that's everything.

Star Trek/the Enterprise is Gene Roddenberry's.
Some of the idea goes to who created Dead Like Me...
And the art and everything else is mine. Do not steal, copy, or repost elsewhere without my persmission.

I love you Daddy T_T
