And I thought I would never see something dedicated to not only a birthday, but equally an art piece as well! Well blow me away as they would say it, because I'm just trying to recover what a power move that was to experience. But let's get real and gel back with reality before I lose myself to the motions (also Fate? We including the many spin-offs or are we focused on two different animes that just so happened to employ Fate as a word for the title?).

Unto the painting itself: The editing work is noticed and it's quite pecking-pan-tastic! That must've taken serious editing (nota bene, not the lyrics in the background being transparent to the image of concern), especially for the transparent water swirling around and to give them life. The left-hand side of her (her right) really tugs in on that wedding look while still being its own thing. From the tight stocking, to the curtain-esque detail of the skirt part of the dress, to the arm-tights and her head-gear (not to mention all the floral imagery or flower-provoked impressions on that side). To the right-side (her left), I actually quite enjoy the floral dress she's in. From the leg bracelet and the more apparent floral imagery. Also that staff bisecting her is just perfectly centered and quite nice to look at; especially helping to drive the look back into the center, as we do get multiple directions eventually leading to Rome- I mean the center from the body language to the water swirling around.

Unto the lyrics: very much beautifully crafted, pulling from multiple sources and structured in a way that works around her (like an envelope physically and metonymy-wise for her character). I got nothing to say other than making the lyrics maybe less transparent, yet that's it for that front.

On the post itself: to repeat what @scrawly pointed out on comprehensiveness - this very much was. From the progress yah painstakingly took to show the progress of yer art piece in stages, to explain what yah did to make the lyrics, to take multiple fotos (photos) / picturas (pictures) of the same thing in different development stages and to then have the humbleness for suggestions! Now that's an artist that understands their craft and knows they can always push for a little more perfection, for that's why we view things so heavenly. The little unknown thing that incites total perfection, but of which is already perfect because we have something to compare the entire beauty of something in relationship to a small nitpick. When we constantly have to defer to that small nitpick, do we feel constantly reminded of all the good things of a work and how beautiful it is despite the small nitpick. So truthfully: congratulations on that @curie upvote!
