Have you ever considered... Dahlia with bug wings?
Yes, I have!! I've seen some other people draw them with wings, and I can't get it out of my head. I saw your drawing of them and loved it sm! Now my brain is just cataloguing all the bugs I can think of with wings and which ones I can stick on them. :]
Did some lil doodles of winged Dahlia- because, yes. He's already so whimsy- having bug wings would just be the cherry on top.
Dahlia and Carme as babiesssss- they're so cute I just ashfhsfksjhf 🥹
I just wanna hug them and squeeze their lil cheeks, they're so adorable!!
Extras under cut!
Given Sun seems to do strange things with his magic when doing mundane things- I feel like it's not far fetched for him to just sneeze and accidentally do something like this.
The reason Dahlia has an extra set of arms is because they previously stated that they USED to have 4 arms but no longer has the second set (but can still summon them magically). Hence why I gave em 4 arms.. the more the merrier ig. 🫠
So are we gonna call the 3rd revival of Moon "Newer Moon" or "Moon^3." Or alternatively, we could revive Nexus instead to add a bit of flare (/silly)
Just kind of what I think would happen if there was a confrontation between this Eclipse and Moon B) I genuinely don’t think Moon’s dying again, but he most certainly is going to get a bit roughed up, surely.
This one was a bit quicker, I was messing around with a faster way of shading/lineart (usually my shading takes forever, but I'm trying to cut down on that time. That's also why whenever I post a sketch on my story I finish it like a month later LMAOOOO). I like how it turned out and it was my first time trying the dry gouache brush, yay! ^^
Extras:
My pose thumbnails always look like abstract scribbles, but specifically here because I was struggling with it. I wanted Moon's face to be visible but it looked awkward with the angle I was tryna do, alas.
Newer Moon (/Moon V3) as well cause I joked about it earlier. The design isn't anything special (it's pretty much just a placeholder outfit to draw the little chibis), but I think an AU where Moon kicks the bucket for a third time would be so interesting because, at this point, Sun and Moon would've completely swapped roles personality wise compared to the start of the series. I imagine Moon V3 having a very similar personality to early Nexus but with a much more mellow energy.
Every time I draw something Infection related, I think of Telltale's The Walking Dead Game. I bring this up because I can totally see Infected AU Dazzle as Clem and her Moon as Lee. (Lee should be Sun, but Dazzle's Sun is the first to get bitten so doesn't really work) (MASSIVE TWDG SPOILERS IN THE LINK but here's the specific scene I'm thinking about when I suggest this)
Speedpaint:
I had a rough time making Moon's hands look like he was actually pushing him away, still not suuuper happy with the hands BUT this is meant to be a quick drawing so I let it go.
I don't usually do green tinted stuff cause I'm not a huge fan of green unless its harmonious. Though I suppose if Gaster is green I will actually have to get used to all shades of green, even my least favs.
(My least fav is olive green/military olive, especially in my own art -- I rarely use it for that reason)
I really like how Dahlia reminds me of a fae in your style, like the face, the bug eyes 🐛
Thank you!
I really love when people combine the aesthetics of Fae and insects together! I've seen a lot of people accentuate Dahlia's buggie portions in their art and it's just so Mwah~ (Chef kissus).
Perfect.
When Dazzle and Cossy mentioned how unsettling their eyes were I tried to mimic those old photos of moths on windows where the person turned on the flash and the moths have this horrifying eye shine- it's so much more unnerving when they are on a window and it looks like they are just floating in the void...
...it didn't come out how I wanted, so I just went with compound eyeish eyes. One day, I'll have enough patience to draw all them circles...
But I still head canon that Dahlia has those creepy glowing moth eyes, they already have that spooky glow when they are in dim light.

I don't know what was about these two, but they just left an such an impression with just the few episodes (or episode in Lunara's case) they were in.
I don't understand Monty's reasoning behind sending Titan after that one Sun with the Star when Lunara is right there- if Sun and Moon talked about that Sun with Monty I'm sure they would have brought up the Evil Star Wielding Lunar at some point.
That Sun sounds like he is barely keeping it together...
Granted Lunara is, too, but he's a lot more volatile and dangerous.
Also having the celestial family form a co-belligerent alliance with Lord Eclipse would have been amazing, especially if he had to work alongside Eclipse and Solar.
Lord Eclipse: (Insert 8hr monologue on why Eclipse and Solar are such Lackluster, underachieving versions of himself)
Eclipse: We agree to abandon his ass at the first sign of trouble, right?
Solar: Oh, you don't have to ask. You know the answer.
Unfortunately, there might be a little hole in your theory about Tyrant. Davis said that we’ve already seen Servant Sun (which means he’s alive). A moot of mine thinks he was one of the Suns that bumped into our Sun while they were leaving DS’ room but didn’t say anything.
Ah, that's okay! I'm so far behind in the current lore, I wasn't really expecting my theory to actually hold up, hahah.
I'm just glad Servant Sun is alive! (TヮT)9 and that there's the possibility that we might get some more lore with them ... and maybe Lord Eclipse, too, plz.
Sir madam you just unlocked a new ship for me: Dark sun x solar!!
Please tell us more about it!!!
I love fake date time these two end up doing
But part of how this ship came to be was in a few Au's Thorn was writing that gave birth to something silly to something serious we did like (it keeps happening)
In Reaper King AU is where it began, to Reluctant Famiily which was based and centered on DarkSolar's situation that happened in reaper king (very sweet), to Asylum AU to this AU.
I'm sure i have my silly doodle around Plus like more sillier ones
I REFUSE to believe that Lord Eclipse is dead.
The guy managed to kill all the astrals in his universe AND defeat a witherstorm single-handedly and canon wants us to believe that high altitude is the thing that puts him in a coffin??
Anon, look at this.
Anon, look...
Hollow eyes. That's no Sun. That’s a mask.
That's Lord Eclipse. That's Lord Eclipse possessing Servant Sun's body.
Look!
Look! Two sets of rays like an Eclipse! Look at the armor! Look at that pose! That's an Eclipse in Sun guise. I know it to be true!
Maybe Lord Eclipse implanted a backup of himself in Servant Sun as a safeguard? Maybe Dark Sun had his suspicions and that's why he refused to save Servant Sun and why he thought mentioning their death to Lord Eclipse would be disheartening.
I know in most likelihood Tyrant is Sol, but I'm just grasping onto the hope that we get more Lord Eclipse and Servant Sun Content...
...
also the possibility that servant sun'll get some sort of happy ending ; u;
