Wow, this is really beautiful! I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but I love the mood, the style, and the way the two images work so well together. Very well executed.

Man, how do you work with light like that? It's gorgeous! And the second panel made me think a bit of Ponyo :3 Mebbe because I recently watched an amazing amount of Ghibli...heehee!
I'm sorry you had that experience 
Never forget you're awesome, Waka! I miss you!

You're welcome!
I couldn't find a video of it on YouTube with any English subtitles, so I couldn't understand the lyrics, but the music was very beautiful 
I won't be there in the summer, my BFA comes to a close at the end of this semester. So that means I lose my studio

The lyrics are actually pretty weird haha so the illustration wasn't an exact representation
Ohhh :c What are plans after you get your BFA?

Thank you very much! I'm not sure where I'll be teaching yet, we've barely begun the placement process. Tomorrow we're having a huge meeting at which there may or may not be food, and we'll get to talk to a bunch of teachers and school reps from all over. I'm exciteeed!
Coolio! Well, hopefully we'll all be able to have an awesome hang-out day, full of doodling, drawing, tea, and delightful food :3
