Loose sketches of a Makara Astralis Eclipse, inspired by the stream a few weeks back.

I think that Eclipse could actually be adapted pretty easily into the society of the Maraka Astralis, considering how at the end of the day, he's a jester and Saturn is a princess! They'd probably still meet in a dimension where they were born as the same species, which is cute. I designed him as a court jester, but Eclipse is a tad to nice to serve as one I fear (as their whole job was essentially just to make fun of/critique the people in power), which is why I think he would likely work alongside Sun and Moon as a trio. (Eclipse and Moon have a sort of good-cop bad-cop dynamic going on, meanwhile Sun is just pure comedic relief)

I also have an alternate version of the design where he's a more traditional Makara Astralis in line with the soldiers we've seen. However, I still imagine him taking on a more civilian role, so he's just a caretaker of the younger members of the clan who are too young to start training.

I tried to make his halo pretty simple since I remember the show implied there was a difference between royal halos and the ones civilians have, but if this one is still too complex maybe he could get it after marrying Saturn.

Notes below:

I don't think we know a lot of details about the Makara Astralis as a species, but I do vaguely remember at one point it being stated that there are a variety of skin colours they can have, though I don't remember it being stated what that range is (like, is it just shades of blue, a range of cool tones, or actually just the whole the whole kit and caboodle of colours like Novakids or Florans in Starbound?) This is why Eclipse has a more indigo tinted skin-tone.

(Cause Pluto's introduction just makes me more interested about how Makara Astralis genetics work. His hair became red (on stream they speculated its dyed by blood, but thats a whole 'nother bag of worms)? And was initially orange? I thought Venus' hair was dyed orange. And between the Grand Celestial and the siblings' mom, they only have blue tones in their hair -- Venus' purple hair, both Venus and Neptune's black sclara, AND Neptune's darker skin was already very different, and now we've got a whole new recessive gene going on. Are the recessive genes just REALLY strong? Or do Makara Astralis genetics work differently altogether? Do all Makara Astralis families look so different from each other? Many questions,,)

HEAR THE HELL’S ROARING

Evelynn being alive should be a good thing but considering how pres said they needed a way to ‘naturally’ put dazzle back in I’m worried

[ghcstrie]

ray and zack are so awesome i love them

[o0rotator0o]

May sound whiney but I genuinely hope tomorrows video isn’t another video where Sun and moon just get lectured like kids by the mentors . We kinda had an ENTIRE arc and more of that

I know we just got an arc with a bunch of angst already but I want to see Sun get mad and defend himself. Instead of having moon do all the talking

Most of the blame will (reasonably) fall on him next video so I just hope he isn’t going to be silent and just take it.

Carmine and Dahlia had a point about the plan: it was stupid. But they can’t lay into Sun about making his own decisions and be pissed when he does it the ‘wrong ‘ way

But with how this show does arguments it definitely will not go this way. They’ll nag and nag and Sun will get pouty at worst and say they have a point and that he’ll trust them more. Without at all mentioning the valid points he has

[obsidianbeaconsatyr]

Sun and Dahlia definitely have a more tense relationship compared to Moon and Carmine don’t they? With Sun rushing into things and Dahlia being under stress from Sol’s orders does not help things nor does Sun still grieving over Atlas’s death makes it harder for him to get closer to Dahlia.

Neptune is married, hm? How curious. I wonder what she’s like.

Anywhoosies here’s some completely unrelated quick sketches of a space-themed variant of Glamrock Rosie cause I think galaxies look good on her ^^

I SAID I was committing HARD to this bit (in the tags) and I KEEP MY PROMISES. Until we actually see his wife, my Tomodachi Life save is canon and thats FINALLLL 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (I’d say “I’m no liar” but I lie recreationally so that would be incorrect actually). When his actual wife gets revealed I just go "that's nice" and spam 20 more images of this crackship /silly

She probably wouldn't be a clown nor an animatronic if she was from space, so I just replaced those features with face markings, eyeshadow, and the little ears I gave her for Mermay. I really like both this look and the OG Glam Rosie, I must draw her more; I keep making these designs I really like and then never drawing them again!

Though funnily enough, this is not the only space-Rosie I'm gonna be designing. Another Non-TEASS AU I have planned needs a design too. But a significantly less happy one :)

His epic mysterious aura is now gone with a single word. Everyone now knows he lost the idgaf war. (Unless it was an arranged marriage, he is royalty after all. However, you must agree this is infinitely funnier) I genuinely love the idea that he's married though, the drama potential is INSANE.

This is him after realising the aura loss.

Is our self insert in laes dead or did they hitch a ride with the attendants?

If they survived (Which they probably did) it has the potential to be angsty as shit cause they have no clue that their family and friends are dead now.

Plus the little girl they owed 3 favors too was murdered

[o0rotator0o]

Carmine giving Sun multiple therapy cards is actually hilarious

[o0rotator0o]

It’s hilarious how Carmine told moon to ‘trust people more’ and like two episodes later he was betrayed and nearly killed by said person

[o0rotator0o]

Mars is just red Simon the chipmunk

[marbles-in-a-trashcan]

You're right and I don't know how to feel about it.

[blaqthemime]

QUICK! THE OTHER TWO!

[marbles-in-a-trashcan]

UHHHH UHHHHH UHHHHH....

LUNAR IS BLUE/PURPLE ALVIN

A-AND AND AND EARTH IS THEODORE BUT ALSO GREEN AND GENDER BENT

[blaqthemime]

GET ARTISTIC RENDITIONED!

[o0rotator0o]

OH MY GOD

[o0rotator0o]

Mars is just red Simon the chipmunk

[o0rotator0o]

Why do i get the feeling things are about to get slightly better for moon and way worse for sun

[o0rotator0o]

I kind of wonder if Carmine would ever offer Sun therapy in the future, cause I can only imagine that going all kinds of poorly.

Unlike Moon there’s not really a ‘right’ way to approach Sun about this sort of thing cause he’s going to dodge it and say he’s fine no matter what.

So you have someone who’s very persistent in helping vs someone who refuses help when it comes to his own issues

Like you can give him advice and constructive criticism about his general flaws and it’s fine but the MOMENT you try to help him deal with his personal issues it’s like hitting a brick wall

Props to Kat for her amazing work In today’s episode! Being able to portray so much emotion and seriousness while doing dazzles baby voice is so cool and impressive!
