star crossed

WHEW this is my first time ever painting stars in space (and planets too??)- it was actually pretty fun! i learned from this nifty tutorial here. and this is like my first ever proper ST fanart?

I drew this because I suddenly had some major star trek feels for some reason. And out of all my OTPs, in some ways, I think Spock/Kirk is the most romantic of them all in the idea of t’hy’la-the sense that you’re just utterly compatible not just physically but mentally, the way Spock and Kirk are such utter complements that save one another equally. The notion of having someone who utterly understands and knows you most intimately is something really attractive to me, admittedly! ^////^

And I’ve been on a bit of a space kick, like “wowww the universe is so big i cant even imagine/ it would be awfully lonely if we really were alone in this huge expanse :("- so i really love the idea of how across this vastness, they found one another.
