Start Up Your Wildfire...

Published:

Description


There was a time when you could see that spark behind your eyes
When your heart felt like an amber glow into the night
Why did you let it fade?

It didn't matter if the walls rose up into the sky
You were a climber, I could see the view from way up high
Why did you fall to earth?

You got to reignite, feel the flame about to die
What's the use in all this cry?

Light it up, light it up, light it up
Light it up, light it up
And let it rage inside, start up your wildfire
(...)

- "Wildfire (Light It Up)", by Ivy Quainoo



Soooo, after almost 3 years I finally (!!!) found a good perspective to go with this scene. *-* I wanted to draw this for so long now... Every since the song came out.
To the picture: It's a scene from the book "Dangerous Path", where Bluestar saves Fireheart from the dogs by throwing herself at the leader of the dogpack and knocking him off the gorge and into the river. Yeah I know, it said that she threw herself head-first into the dog's flank, but I wanted it to look more dramatic. I wanted her to face her enemy without fear. I almost started crying when I read that scene for the first time, because I just knew that Bluestar was about to die and I really loved her character. Despite her ever-growing psychosis and paranoia after Tigerclaw's attempt to kill her. :( In that moment she was strong and rational again and could see clearly like she used to... and it just made me tear up, because she must've known that this would be her end. And she was ready to give her last life for the sake of her Clan.
In my opinion Bluestar had one of the best character-developments during the books (her super-edition included) and I didn't realize how much I miss her in the new books, until I re-read this scene.

Anyway... As always: I hope you like this little, spontaneous piece as much as I do. And for those who ask: No, her eyes are not violet, they're blue...They just appear to be violet because of the slighty violet-colored light I put into the picture. :)

Next upload will be the cover for the third chapter of my fancomic :D And maybe a little fanart for Colleen Houck's "Tiger's Curse". Any fans out there?? I'm reading the second book at the moment and I think I fell head over heels for Ren <3

Oh... One more thing: I have instagram now. :) You can find the link to the page in my deviantID, so if you want to see some hand-scribbled things and *ahem...a lot of* profile-pics of me, feel free to follow me :P
