You know, no one dies
In these love-drowned eyes.
Through our love-drowned eyes
We'll watch you sleep tonight.

This has been my occupation for the last...uhm...I actually don't know how many days I worked on this, but several. This handsome fella reminded me of stars, nebulae and the universe in general when I saw him, which is how the idea for this came to life. I'm pretty pleased with how it's turned out, I've never attempted to draw a nebula before, please bear with me. x3
The timer is off, it took long but not that long. When I started I thought that the dapples on his coat were going to take the longest, but actually I found them easy to do after I'd gotten the hang of it. It was fun to draw them, after all. I think the shading took longer. xD
Also, please ignore the drawing sessions, Oekaki loves to close down in the middle of drawing, making me re-open the tab. It took maybe 6 or 7 drawing sessions.
To get the proportions and basic shapes of the head/neck right, I used this ref from the CS gallery. The shading was done without a ref, though. For the background I looked at nebula pictures on google but didn't use a certain ref.
Last but not least, if you're wondering about those lyrics, I was listening to that song over and over again when I started this, and I think it fits. x)
