Description "I close my eyes and I can see a brighter day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray...

I pray for the broken-hearted
I pray for the life not started
I pray for all the ones not breathing
I pray for all the souls in need, I pray... "
Pray - Justin Bieber
?!Did you just say Justin Biebe-

Yes, I just said Justin Bieber.

But but-

No kids, I didn't suddenly become a Bieber fan. It is probably the first and last song from him I will ever like, specially to base an artwork on it

Now onto the serious.

This artwork was done for ^Nyiana-Sama 's 48 Hour Manga/Anime Art Contest , in which we were supposed to draw an original character along with the themes Rainbow, Roses and Smelling.

Oh well, the original character here is my lovely Nature Goddess, Lilith FΓΈrst , in her child form. Her hair is actually a bit darked but I was too lazy to make it so let her this way.
About the themes... rainbow is obvious here right?As always on my pics And about the other two... here is where it comes Bieber's song. I often associate roses with hope, with their perfume and beauty. So as she is praying among roses and rainbows, maybe their smell can impregnate people's mind's and make them all dream the same dream... of a better day. And who knows if, with everyone dreaming together, this dream cannot come true?

Time: 15+ hours, without stop
Tools: HB, 2B, 0.05 Pigment Ink, Faber-Castell and Mitsubishi colorpencils, Faber-Castell watercolors, Gato Preto acrylics, Copic markers.
I hope you like this work! I missed drawing my OC's.
Love you all

The transition from one colour to another is so lovely and smooth, especially on her dress. I love the highlights on the roses too. And the hair is as beautiful as always!

You get better at coloring every day! The tones transition nicely from one to another, it's very pleasing to the eye. <3

And I like that song too.

Praying helps, but not in a definitive or obvious way. Which is... extremely annoying.

the whole point of religion is uncertainty

If god were proven to exist = no more religion

If god were proven not to exist = no more religion

just between you and me, god has already been proven not to exist thanks to the theory of evolution and the big bang theory
