It was challenging, but I had so much fun with this! I had an amazing dream earlier this week, and this is one of the characters I saw in my dream... I've decided to call her Andromeda. The way I saw her in my dream was slightly different; yes, she was starry like this, but she was all one color (hair included) except for her eyes, nose, and inside of her ears - they were the colors you see here, more or less. Her eyes were actually pure white, but I think the cyan looks much better. So yeah... She looked a little bland, so I gave her some extra colors and a collar. Her starry markings would make it nearly impossible to draw her again, so I've decided her fur is special - the stars change constantly, and I think I'll make it so that they actually twinkle. Maybe.
