Faustorian in Space

Another of the artistic freedom watercolor pieces I took earlier this past weekend, for the wonderful Faustorian!  I experimented with masking fluid on this one, but ended up falling back to inks anyway.  It did allow me to make a nice night sky gradient and star field (using gouache).  I crave to make more night skies in watercolor and gouache now, this was uniquely satisfying to create!
