Luceafarul

Description

I had so many adventures with this manip... and finally submitting it just hours before (hopefully) the deadline.

This is for :iconsitara-leotastock:'s contest Fighting and romance

Is anyone wondering why Arina suddenly started to give weird names? When I read about the contest the first thing that popped into my mind was a poem, probably the most famous Romanian one worldwide, and it's called "Luceafarul" (Evening Star). So I was greatly inspired by this poem and I decided to keep the original Romanian version of the name as a tribute to the poet Mihai Eminescu.

In the poem, Evening Star falls in love with a mortal girl and after a while it gets tired of coming to Earth each night dressed as a different dude so it goes to God and begs him to make it (him?) a human so he can be with his lover. While they are bargaining, the girl finds another love interest and when Evening Star comes back from god (not getting what he requested), he finds the two together and decides never to give into such feelings again.

I looked up a translation -> [link] but you need patience because it has 97 stanzas!

Though I was inspired, I changed the idea for the manip:
1. The gender of Evening Star doesn't fall under human categories and is irrelevant, so I chose a female face (it's prettier)
2. In the poem, the human is always asking Evening Star to come down. I imagined a follow up, where she realized that her aspirations weren't high enough, so instead she's trying to reach the heaven with her music, but Evening star rejects her love. The thunderstorm is meant to represent the barrier that Evening Star puts betwean his immortal world and the girl.

If all these words look like complete nonsense, just enjoy the picture and give any critique you can think of.
