Drawtober 2023: Solar Sneeze

I recall the prompt for this at the event I was working on alongside Drawtober was a solar flare or solar storm I think. I don't have personifications of the solar system yet, so I thought Solaris would be the closest thing. Different gods may appear different depending on sickness. With Solaris, since he has a big ball of fire-like hair, I imagine his hair gets smokier-looking to indicate that he's not feeling great. Also tends to sneeze fire. The sneezing fire part is pretty difficult to deal with. Especially as he'll burn tissues. Solaris, Penelope Browne- Me (@circifox)

Drawtober 2023: Pulling Against The Void

This piece took two attempts. This was the second. Another thing I was doing for this challenge was trying to work with some of my Gods AU characters where it was relevant. So I did draw Gods AU Penelope quite a bit. Something I haven't explored with her as much is how different aspects of her space powers manifest. I wanted the look of her being overtaken by shadow and the void and grasping at light to seem eerie. This was also inspired by a RP that happened with her where her insecurities got to her and she got cocooned by darkness and it was Quite Bad. Penelope Browne- Me (@circifox)

Drawtober 2023: Asteroid Crunch

Crea is one of my ancient celestial goddess characters who I initially made as a doll along with her two sisters Tea and Trinity. Still haven't made them clothes yet but I know what their outfits would look like. She's a primordial being of destruction and cares not for a lot of things. Also for some reason, out of the three of them, she's the only one who eat space rocks? And space junk? For whatever reason, she likes the crunch and resistance? It doesn't affect her body or anything, so she doesn't care. Her sisters don't approve of this (especially not Trinity). Don't eat rocks. Crea- Me (@circifox)

Drawtober 2023: Draugr, the Revenant

The last of my four spooky skeleton exoplanet personifications-- Draugr. Besides doing a color theme and them all being skeletons, I wanted to have a third theme. Basically, I wanted to have some classic monsters but skeletal. Draugr is supposed to be a vampire skeleton. I tried to emphasize this with the bat symbols, the teeth, and the opulence with the golds and purples. Yellow was supposed to be their color theme though purple sort of just came in as well. The mythos around draugrs influenced how I colored the bones and worked on their armor. I think the four cohesively look pretty cool. Draugr - Me (@circifox)

Drawtober 2023: Polar Night

I know Polaris is an Ursa Minor star and should be a bear. But in consideration of how Hat Deer is, it felt right for his Stars AU equivalent to be Polaris. I was trying to figure out how to draw weird looking void monsters that go after bright light or stars that particularly shine brightly. Polaris knows better than to just stay where he is. He's going to run in a second. Hat Deer- Me (@circifox)

Drawtober 2023: Poltergeist, the Shrieker

Poltergeist was freaky but also fun to draw? Going along with the others of their group, their color was blue. Besides poltergeists, I was inspired by shrieking spirits like the banshee. Trying to figure out how to draw a screaming skeleton floating was something though? They're not exactly the most coherent as they mainly shriek.  Poltergeist- Me (@circifox)
