Hymn 306

Description

"I wouldn't be afraid in a big dark place like that anymore. I'd go looking in there for what would make people happy. You and me---together to the end!"

It's an older story, and frankly parts of it don't make a whole lot of sense. But Kenji Miyazawa's "Night on the Galactic Railroad" is one of my favorites, and i've been meaning to make something inspired from it for too long. I referenced both the book and the animation in this illustration, and I highly recommend checking them both out sometime. Just keep the tissues handy.

I mean it. It will make you cry. Buckets.

I love how the floor is melting into a starscape!
Can I ask which one is the human? Giovanni or Campanelli?
