I don't usually post this kinda rough sketches to my FA but since this is gift art for the lovely  FoxAmoore, figured I'd make an exception and sneak it in. This idea is an embellishment on a prior idea and set of sketches which will be uploaded as well shortly.

"The idea evolved from a random thought “star fishing”. I imagined the two of them would have heard a story of stars that swim close to the earth on certain nights and in particular places. Together they discover a deep sea of stars that bob and float above them like swarms of jellyfish emitting a soft translucent gold light. But they also discover something else, the stars seem to emanate music as they bob and move through the velveteen night sky. They decide to catch some stars and hear their music more clearly. Don’t worry, they let them go once inspiration fills their hearts to the brim and the tiny stars float peacefully upwards to rejoin the collective symphony in the press of the deepest ocean of all."

This image explores the concept of Fox Amoore being submerged in this sea of music, simply taking in the song in the hopes it may move his fingers fluidly through the swim of notes.
