Description

"Miyuki was...

More than a commissioner.

She was a leader, a teacher, and one of my best friends.

If I had known what would happen that day in Research Station 9, I wouldn't have shown up.

I would have stayed home and made an excuse not to present my creation that day...

         I've always loved stars.

Even as a boy, Lard and I would study them and wonder about the universe beyond our great big world.

Miyuki would always teach us something new.

She was very knowledgeable about stars and space, and Lard Nar and I ate it up.

I mean yeah, she paid us to build things and come up with weapons and such, but Irk was in a state of peace at the time.

Miyuki had no interest in overthrowing anyone or reeking havoc.

She was just...

A good lady.

In a word, 'lovely.'

       She had this...

Way, of making everyone feel important.

She was never cheap or shy about compliments but she wasn't fake about it, either.

If she didn't like something she'd say so, but rarely did it ever hurt anyone's feelings.

She was almost motherly, Miyuki.

That woman never put anyone beneath her, so no one felt a need to put themself 'above' her.

When she was around, everything made sense.

Now I'm left to wonder why the good die young...

       I never meant to hurt her...

I knew Zim was working on something, but I had no idea what that was.

And granted, an infinite energy absorbing object is very impressive.

Still, I wish I had known of his intentions to show it off that day.

I would 'not' have come in.

It was all going so well...

Lard Nar showed her his designs for the Massive, I showed her my infinite energy producing object.

She loved them.

The night before the incident, i went up to the astronomy tower and prayed that she would just like what we had to offer.

And she did.

She loved them very much....

       There was no soul more genuine than Miyuki's.

She made me believe in love and sacrifice.

She taught me that heart break, death and difficult times made life that much sweeter, and I believe that more firmly now than ever.

She would keep my secrets, and I'd keep her messages.

Now I am left to just keep her memories...

       She knows I didn't kill her -- neither did Zim.

It was just...

One of those freak accidents.

So I don't blame him.

Zim, he's....

He's not as bad as everyone thinks he is.

       No one said this life would be easy.

It's cold, brutal, and has a certain way of making you question yourself and your reason to live.

Prison exposed me to this on a daily basis.

But if we can hold onto love, and embrace hardship, we can come out of anything.

We're gonna get hurt, yeah, but scars can be healed.

Blood can be wiped away.

Tears dry, nightmares end, and when we fall, we can always get back up.

These are just the little things she taught me.

       We believe, on Vort, that many people dwell in the stars when they die.

Some go to heaven, some wander.

And some, well...

We just don't know.

But now that I'm free, whenever I look out at the void I know she's there.

She's all around us.

       The warmest things we have in this life are the people we hold closest to our hearts.

Wherever you are, Miyuki, when stars go blue my heart ignites, because I know you're always here.

And it's here, we'll always be..."

                  ---Pepps

-------------------------------------------------

Pepps, or more commonly known as Prisoner 777, recalls his memories of Tallest Miyuki, and the day she died.

For years Pepps lived with the guilt and assumption that her death was on his shoulders, but in time he comes to forgive himself and realize that no one really killed her; it was just a freak accident that no one could control.

Zim didn't know his blob would merge with Pepps' creation and become a monster, he just wanted to show off like his Vort co-workers were.

Thus, Pepps is not angry with Zim either.

In prison Pepps never had the opportunity to cope with the loss of someone he held near and dear to his heart.

Now that he's free, he can finally confide in friends and loved ones like Lard Nar and so many more and deal with having seen something so traumatic.
And more to the point, having been a part of it.

Pepps is a live-in-the-moment kind of guy and would rather smile and laugh than be sad, but in this passage he takes the time to open up and reflect as the whole truth of Miyuki's death finally comes out for the universe to hear.
All of it.

Wiping tears from his eyes he shares happy memories of his dear friend and wishes her a happy after life, acknowledging her presence is always with him.

At the top of the page Pepps sits on a grassy hill and stares up at the night sky.

A shooting star flies by, and he points to it as it passes.

The bottom image is of when Pepps offered Miyuki the infinite energy producing object.

It swirls and glows, contained in strong glass to keep it from expanding or being expelled.

Miyuki smiles happily and gently prods the object with her finger, preparing to pick it up and inspect it.

The title and concept was actually somewhat inspired by the Tim McGraw song, "Stars Go Blue."

www.youtube.com/watch?…

This song was a big part of my childhood and really takes me to a deep place in my heart that's strong enough to make me cry, so i drew from that to try and make a more sentimental and unique piece this time.

I've been dreaming now about how wonderful it would be to just animate and produce Pepps' story, and i decided if it ever became a reality the end credit song would be Stars Go Blue~.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh...my....actual...GOODNESS!!!

I did it! I'M DONE!
YES!
Told you i would do it!!

Ok lol anyway aside from all the craziness i went through to finish this, it was a real challenge to get it right and it ACTUALLY came out the way i wanted it to

The hardest part of this piece was honestly trying to color in Miyuki and Pepps carefully and not screw up the colors or ruin the lines.

Shading is the scariest part of making art for me because of this XD

But all in all everything i was going for was achieved and i'm very proud to have finally presented this to everyone.

This piece is unique to me because of the way that i tried to combine a precious, if not somewhat tainted memory with the present.

I was going to add a thicker barrier between them but decided the ground line from the hill would be just fine on its own ^__^

Also, as of late i've been doing small black paper art pieces.

What you're looking at here is considerably larger and i will, yes, be posting the memory and present individually and maybe even some details

Thank you for viewing and for those of you who pushed me through this project!

I appreciate it greatly and it definitely made a difference

And thank YOU, Kitten, for putting up with me as i trolled you for the past week with hints and clues as to what this project was

Enjoy guys, this is for everyone as much as it is for me!

   THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
