Ashes to Asterisms

I painted something special to go along with a scene from Chapter 55 of my MCU fan fic, “Winter of the White Wolf” when I found myself compelled to try to start-to-finish a digital painting in one sitting.

This is it. ❤ Considering the time I spent on it (about 6.5 hours), I'm really pleased with how it turned out! It was also nice to allow myself to go for more of a "painterly" feel.

I love the remarkable kindness of this particular story beat, and the idea of the stars reflecting in the tea helped to inspire the title of this particular chapter. The sentiment was a bit like the idea that stars, like people, are separate entities, but arranged in a certain way, they can be a part of something bigger, like constellations and asterisms. And currently in the story, I feel like these six characters are starting to finally come back into an all-new alignment with one-another, but the shape of what it forms is still yet to be determined...

I hope you enjoy the art, and the story if it is up your alley of interests!
