please take these little Sun and Moon sketches I did to pass the time.
I wanted to have something high-effort for them done by now but unfortunately they’re still very difficult to draw, so it takes a lot out of me to even try. I’m hoping if I keep doing little things like this when I feel like I’m able, it’ll start to come naturally, and I can make more content I’m confident in . have patience with me, please? 🥹🖤

Or y'know, something like that :) two-faced tricksters, beloved ✨
I’m off by a few days but oh my god I never expected my own little self indulgent AU to get this much attention, I cannot even begin to tell you all how grateful I am for all the love I’ve received because of this silly thing, and how glad I am that other people than just me enjoy it <33
And ofc I’m celebrating by making an animatic of the song that first inspired the AU in the first place 💕💕
I’ve also uploaded this onto YouTube, but currently it seems like the quality on there has been OBLITERATED and I’m just hoping it’ll be fine later on djdkdknf— I’ll add the link here just in case <33
This piece took me soooo long to finish, its hands down my biggest artwork ever. Very proud of it, even though I spent so much time on all the details around the incubator just to have the humans cover most of it lol.
3 CSP files, over 400 layers. I don't know what possessed me. Dr Angela Weston probably, she really wanted this face reveal.
I love-hate Pinterest so much. so many outfit references.
Drawing @jackofallrabbits Cherry Blossom and Buddy in fun outfits is, as it turns out, insanely fun.
Also! Since Buddy is mute i just wanted to try drawing them doing sign language (but they have not actually used any in the fic! i just thought it would be neat)
(Both characters from their wonderful fic Stars in the Garden)
i made some (very shoddy) basic refs for my frankenstein!dca au. Meet Solis and Lunar, two totally not made of human skin and metal monsters.
these guys are also up on my artifght (which funny enough im doing [skelebellie]). time for me to go back to the trenches and sketch out my next attacks.
fun facts/minor info is below the cut.
‘The Farmhand’ Solis and ‘The Axeman” Lunar is from my Frankenstein!DCA AU thats based off the original novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. Their mindset is set in 19th century England. My DCA boys can share a body, or not—I dont want to limit them (for now).
Solis and Lunar’s relationship is… not defined. Not brothers, and not lovers, but some third, fucked up option.
Solis (he/she/they)
Solis represents the side of Frankenstein Monster that was fascinated by human kind, and what it meant to be a ‘complete’ person.
Solis is called ‘The Farmhand’ because he handles the hearth (Solis’ and Lunar’s shared cabin) and the surrounding land.
Solis is made of a combination of human parts and metal. He can eat, has a tongue, and has most rudimentary organs. Made of the ‘better’ parts of Lunar.
He can make rudimentary crafts, but nothing complicated.
His two favorite positions is the red and gold neck-tie Lunar bought for him, and the deep red leather gloves Lunar made for him.
He hates getting dirty (despite his work), so he wears the gloves to stay clean and sometimes an apron while working outside.
Solis has an obsession (and deep love) for everything living. Animals, humans, insects—he loves to figure out how they work and what makes them ‘tick’. He also has quite the green thumb. However, he is wary of actually ‘meeting’ a human after one chipped his metal rays.
Lunar (he/they)
Lunar represents the side of Frankenstein’s Monster that hated humanity and its complexities. He see’s the world in a much crueler light, and will do what must be done to protect the little sense of normalcy him and Solis have. He also represents the side that was scientific and methodical.
Lunar is called ‘The Axeman’ because a far off village person once saw him in the middle of the night cutting wood (hood on). At first, they thought he was a ghost, and now he’s something of an urban legend. Really, he just cuts firewood at night because Solis refuses to leave their land.
Lunar is made up of metal and human parts. He has a tongue, can eat, and has most functioning organs.
At night Lunar’s job is to go into town and sell Solis’ produce and his own crafts (leather work, clothing, etc). He’s also in charge of refining Solis’ products, such as tanning leather and turning wheat into bread.
His two favorite possessions are his cloak and his embroidered nightcap (that he originally took from his creator as a trophy).
Lunar loves the sky and stars, and writes on and on about his own theories and hypotheticals.
Secretly (super deep deep and probably suffocating), Lunar wants nothing more than to be accepted by humanity.
