Description
I was watching the Muppet Movie not long ago when the nostalgia bug bit me, and I was very moved by Gonzo's song (of all things) called, "I'm Going to Go Back There Someday" and this picture came out.The mood of it was just right for me to depict how Celeste feels when she learns of her origins through an up close and personal encounter with the master emerald. Of course, this is before she is actually absorbed and realizes going back to the Source means never seeing her loved ones again.

Lyrics
This looks familiar, vaguely familiar,
Almost unreal, yet, it's too soon to feel yet.
Close to my soul, and yet so far away.
I'm going to go back there someday.
Sun rises, night falls, sometimes the sky calls.
Is that a song there, and do I belong there?
I've never been there, but I know the way.
I'm going to go back there someday.
Come and go with me, it's more fun to share,
We'll both be completely at home in midair.
We're flyin', not walkin', on featherless wings.
We can hold onto love like invisible strings.
There's not a word yet for old friends who've just met.
Part heaven, part space, or have I found my place?
You can just visit, but I plan to stay.
I'm going to go back there someday.
colored!!

Those are two words I have always used to describe Celeste, so it's really gratifying to hear you say that it made you feel so!

I remember that movie and the song, it has been awhile since I've seen it but I can see how the bug bit you there and it is a good feeling to get that old feeling that you felt long ago, it's like when I watch some of the old stuff from my era and suddenly bang! I'm inspired to do something retro or old fashion, usually in my stories.
But going to this picture, I do love this piece, the calm and pleasant look from Celeste is very warm and comforting, specially if someone was down, all they have to do is look at this piece and some how it would warm their hearts, I know it would and does warm mine.
Beautiful stuff, it is good to see such beauties like this.

Sometimes nostolgia bites in the weirdest of ways <3 I always loved this movie but I never appreciated the music like I do now. That song in particular is so warm and inviting, and the lyrics leaving one feeling like they've found the answer but just can't understand it yet... I've been motivated to do a comic about Celeste, but I lack the paper to do it right now. I need to get me one of those nice big sketch pads! ^_^
Always pleasant ot hear from you hun, you leave the best comments!!

Sometimes we never appreciate things until we get older and realise there is a meaning behind those things, and I have to agree with what you said, it does feel warm and invite, and the lyrics does give that feeling of you know the answer but you're still trying to get the grips on what it is, kinda like alot of people, they think they found the answer but yet they don't understand it until bang! It hits them.
As for this comic, I hope you do it but in your own time ^^
I was going to suggest a drawing tablet for this comic but again you need to see it full out by eye and see where you can add this or add that, sure with a tablet you can do this but it isn't like doing it as you would on a pad because you can seem to see what you want more clear then you can from a monitor, that's in my opinion ^^
And no worries, always a pleasure commenting and view your works, after all you worked so hard on them all and you should be give the recognition that you deserve

I envy your beautiful artwork <3
I think I'm running out of words again xD
Celeste's expression is so thoughtful and sweet, I just love the softness of her expression! Her touch looks so gentle as she's using the powers of the All Source and Master emerald. I love the style you use for water, it looks so sinuous and beautiful! This is again, a brilliant and enchanting piece

...Muppets. Heheh.
Swedish Chef! Und ve puts de chikken in der pot! Heheheh.
Poor poor Celeste, always put in these situations where despair is just a moment or realization away. *clucks his tongue.*

I personally loved the old guys who were always snarking at everything XD
and yeah, I hope Celestes learns better

NOOOHOHOOOHOHOHOOO!!!
Heh, those old farts are almost as much fun as Bunsen and Beaker.

wow, that is very pretty.
I like how the hair, ribbon and waves almost end the piece. It's a clver way in doing so~
The expressions seems somewhat differant to the character. 
Very pretty work. Do you intend to take this further? (colour wise)

glad to see so many Celeste artworks recently C: and specially so many Celeste artworks where she's not terrified or helpless 8D her personality is developing awesome job!
π: 0 β©: 1
There's pictures of her that don't revolve around that, sweetie XD People take the fact that I like drawing dramatic images too seriously in regards the character in all honesty, I hear it a lot. "Why is Sally always crying?" "Why is Celeste always sad?"
Because I like to draw emotional pics <3 And her personality has been long developed, but I haven't had the means to express it to others through any art or writing.
Do you think thats a failing? Should I do more story revealing pictures?
π: 0 β©: 1
nah, mine was a bad joke xD It's just that you often draw Celeste while she's crying, and althought I'm a "emotional pic" lover myself, I really like to see different sides of the same personality C:
Like when you've a shy character and at one point he/she react with energy, or viceversa ^_^
It's not a failing at all, I think you should keep on drawing whatever you feel like, it will never be a fail, specially if we are talking about your awesome art 8D
Oh god, my head is full of stuff to say, I just don't know how to explain them in English ahahah @@
π: 0 β©: 1
you speak ENglish very well, I'd have never guessed it wasn't native!
π: 0 β©: 1
thank you very much x3
ahahah, I can't blame you for the weepy love 8D I do love strong emotions, sadness and rage are my favourite, cause they kinda give a lot of energy to the pics and are more "natural" and "human" in my opinion x3 but happyness too, even if it's harder to find works with a strong happy feeling, since happyness is so hard to describe and there are so many way to express it @@

Isn't it weird how things like that inspire you to draw something amazing? It's good to see that you're back by the way I hope you are enjoying that new avatar of yours. I may make another one for you someday because I really respect Celeste. She is truly her own person and she is very well-developed, I can see her as an actual Sonic character.
Keep up the good work.β₯

I don't have my laptop back but moms been letting me use her computer lately <3 And YES I simply LOVE this avatar, I think this is the one I'll be using for a good long time! The movement and expression,the magical nature of it, it's just what I've been looking for and unable to find <33And thank you so much, I spent a lot of time working with her character to make sure she was believable, flawed, and likable. Its actually kinda hard to write a character thats magical and not a flaming cliched mary-sue XD

I read all the other comments here and they already said everything I needed to say about this picture. Absolutely stunning and beautiful. Someone should give you an award for such amazing work. I would, of course, but I don't have the ability to do so. n_n
