Description

I'm getting tired and need somewhere to begin.
~ Somewhere Only We Know (Keane)



I was going to try to draw something jolly, but NOPE. Music changes my mood a lot when I draw. :iconlazycryplz:

There are two versions of this picture and really neither is the version that's more true. I just so happened to like this edit a lot better.

While I was editing this, I realised just how much I had unintentionally gone with the old light and dark cliche. Certain points I noticed:

:bulletblue: Mielle can see while Utsumi cannot.
:bulletblue: Mielle's colouring is compared to a summer's day (yellow hair, bright blue eyes) while Utsumi's is like a moonlit night (dark hair, pale skin).
:bulletblue: Utsumi has a brighter outward disposition but his emotional well-being is darker and more shaken whereas Mielle has a slightly stormy outward manner but has an unshakable belief and faith in himself which, somehow, I've always associated with light.
:bulletblue: Both have their own religions: the Light of Akesato (Utsumi) and the Ivory Fellowship (Mielle). The stories of how the world was made between the two are also in direct opposition to each other.
:bulletblue: The Light of Akesato believes the world was abandoned once by a god called the Man of Many Faces and the power he left over in the stars created a bear in the night sky and she filled the world with life.
:bulletblue: The Ivory Bird was believed to have been pulled from the Lord of the Sky when he fell in love with the Mistress of the Sea and was initially a messenger for the two lovers. When it grew tired, the Lord of the Sky created land for the Bird to rest on. (I'm still working on this story. OJZ)
