I’m so hungry

my Proteus, Hippocamp, and Nereid designs

rambles beneath the cut :]

In my designs, all of Neptune's moons are merfolk.

Proteus is a leopard seal,

Hippocamp is a seahorse Hippocampy (self-explanatory)

Nereid is a humpback whale because of its eccentric orbit (Nereid has one of the most eccentric orbits of any known moon), the distance the moon travels (15 times farther from Neptune than the next closest known moon, Triton), and the moon's mass (Nereid also accounts for about 98% of the mass of Neptune's entire irregular satellite system altogether (excluding Triton), and as of my research about two-thirds the mass of all irregular moons combined, again ignoring Triton). 

So I felt that one of the largest and furthest traveling migratory animals was fitting.

Triton is a Sailfish

A few random notes 

Proteus and Hippocamp are nearly in a 11:13 mean-motion resonance

There is a hypothesis that proposed that Hippocamp may have originated from debris ejected from Proteus by the cometary impact that formed its largest crater, Pharos. Making Hippocamp a third generation moon. 

Also Proteus has a large impact crater named Pharos, which has a diameter around 250 km more than half the diameter of Proteus itself (400 kilometers). That's why I gave Proteus that scar on his face and also why I drew Proteus and Hippocamp together.

I try to incorporate the planet symbols and their numbers somewhere in all of my moon designs though specifically for the moons of Neptune i make it really prominent, in part to help me keep track of them when drawing, there are so many  

This has been in my drafts for literal months aaaaaaaaaaaa

There is so much i need to post on here its not even funny

+ bonus unfinished thing from 2024

But! I was really annoyed that X apologized to Proteus and not Uranus. Like yeah Proteus was X’s friend, but Uranus was the one he manipulated with and probably had a closer bond with. Uranus got hurt cuz of X and jusjsmmsgrkek sighs X you dumby cmon man. Sigh sobs crashes out dies Alvaro pleaseeee give us a solid Uranus and X convo—I THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA HAVE IT BUT X JUST ASKED URA IF HE WAS HAPPY??? Ughdndmdhdkds screams

[meledouu]

i made more designs now here's proteus!! (don't really love the colors but zzz im too tired to care rn)

more on proteus's scar: proteus suffered a violent collision and hippocamp formed from the debris. he doesn't remember the event, only from what triton/neptune/other moons have told him

[draidachiart]

I just need to draw X and i guess im done with these series

[thelilysbias-8]
