i'm a big sucker for a diegetic piece of art/literature serving as a mirror to the story's characters, so naturally the illustration of the poem about a silverleaf tree falling in love with a star from chapter 47 of WHA *had* to be redrawn as Qifrey and Oru ✨🍃 #WitchHatAtelier #WHAMangaSpoilers

digital fan art of Qifrey and Oruggio from Witch Hat Atelier. it is based on an illustration featured in chapter 47 of the manga, wherein the Silver Leaf Tree is reaching up towards the Star, who is sailing the sky in a boat.
Qifrey is depicted as a thin and tall light-skinned person with short curly white hair; his fingers extend into long silver wood branches, similar to the Silver Leaf's fingers in the original illustration. he is dressed in a long flowing gray tunic with long wide sleeves and his signature plaited high collar, the fabric caught at the waist with a wide etched leather belt decorated with tassels. on his head, there is a circlet made of black leaves and long spikes.
Oru has an average build, light brown skin, short straight black hair and a short goatee. he is wearing a white toga-like tunic draped over one shoulder, leaving his arms bare and the burn scars on his hands and forearms visible. there is a wide tasseled blue sash around his waist, and, like Qifrey, Oru has a crown on his head, his shaped like a collection of stars.
the characters are placed facing each other, Qifrey on the right and Oru on the left and upside down. Qifrey is sitting on the gray branches of a silver wood tree, reaching with one hand for a star right next to Oru's chest; he is looking at it with wonder and quiet excitement. Oru is kneeling in a small boat, one arm raised and the hand placed on the end of an oar handle, which is standing vertically; the other arm is resting against his thigh. he is looking at Qifrey's face with a smile.
there is water around the boat, dyed pink and soft orange with the light of the star, the upside-down wave foaming and curling towards Qifrey, while the silver wood branches reach for Oru. behind the characters, the sky is a pale sunrise blue, with smaller stars and sea spray shimmering all around them.
