Muse of the Stars

Description

    For The Nine Muses Challenge at Castle-of-Cards :iconcastle-of-cards:
    The muse I am depicting is Urania, who presides over astronomy.

    I wanted to show her not only as the muse of astronomy, but as part of the stars themselves. So lots of stars and space imagery, which I absolutely love. I also tried to keep to the Greek/Roman look.

    I was really interested in astronomy when I was younger, I loved staring at the night sky trying to recognise constellations (unfortunately I now live in a city where you can hardly see any stars :[ ). I also really liked mythology, and I even made a character based off Urania, who fell in love with the constellation Pollux. So this challenge is kind of nostalgic for me.
    This is also the first manipulation I've been proud of in a long time. It's not perfect, but I'm really satisfied, and I had a lot of fun working on it ^^
