Description
"To the End of the Journey of Glittering Stars" - Baten Kaitos Soundtrack(Listen to it here: [link] )
An entry for the contest over at . The theme was "Choose your favorite Baten Kaitos music piece and draw a picture to match it." A daunting task, all the music is so wonderful! I pushed my skills on this thing.
Baten Kaitos is an awesome game, period. Unique style, stunning visuals, and a cast you get attached to and care about... I could keep going. On top of everything else, the music is absolutely incredible and really inspiring.
I really wanted to create a piece that captured part of the game's essence, and did a little better than my last attempt.
Kalas and Xelha sit and look out at the stars, finally getting a chance to rest after an epic and trying journey to restore the world. After everything these two went through, they really did deserve a happy ending.

Played through the game two hours ago. I really liked the ending. Your drawing fits the atmosphere well. I could imagine the two sitting like that together

Beautiful. You did an amazing job with sky. It looks like they can just get up and start walking on the clouds.

OOOOOoooohhhhh you chose that piece! It's my favorite piece of the soundtrack
and the one I was planning to take at first. It's so grand and dramatic and beautiful and sad and amazing, probably my all-time favorite video game music piece. Your drawing matches is perfectly, with the moon and stars, and the warm summer breeze that carries flower petals that smell delicious
(I'm sure they do!) A beautiful drawing!

Thank you so much! It's my favorite music piece too~
I glad you could tell they were flower petals! Now that I think about it, they could represent the Guardian spirit that helped Kalas and Xelha, too. x3

Now my chances to win this contest are getting quite small xD

I almost didn't do that song because it's so wonderful! My art doesn't evoke tears of emotion like the music can. @.@
But thank you! I wanted to add more but then I didn't want to ruin the simplicity either. So conflicted. D:
And everyone's chances are still looking good! The contest is based on creativity and not execution. :3
