Orchid Under the Moonlight
🕑 Added 2021-10-28 01:34:17 +0000 UTCMy interpretation of Orchid, the solarpunk bunny girl who appears in various of Aelius's artwork and writings. She's the focus of his story "The Scout", and if audiobooks are more your thing, there's a narration by The Voice of Dog!
And since I usually get puzzled looks whenever I mention it, there's a rabbit-moon connection I learned as a kid in South Africa. There (and in other places) the craters of the moon are said to resemble a rabbit, at least when one squints hard enough. Besides that, night scenes just lend themselves to glowy plants in a world where such things exist.
As a bonus, I'm adding a work-in-progress sketch, rough as it may be. Is that something I should do more often with these posts? Lemme know!

This is amazing! You captured her so well. Very nice job! Love the shading, the lighting. Those details are amazing! The metal of the spear, the texture of her paws. Man, this is some incredible work! You really went above and beyond for this. Very cool. Also, I love the Voice of Dog podcast. Good stories in there.

Glad to hear it! I think I'll be including more of them.

I was thinking that too. I do like seeing WIPs to get a sense of other artists' process, which is usually just a black box!

It's so unique to see nighttime rendered in a warm light rather than a cool one. Really beautiful, well done! WIP sketches are always welcome! I love seeing how they evolve!

I really enjoy seeing the WIP for pieces of art, shows more how the artist was thinking.

I had a feeling this was a Japanese thing too! The Animal Crossing connection is really neat. I hadn't heard of that but I love it.

IIRC Japanese culture has the same rabbit/moon connection, yeah. There's a rabbit character in Animal Crossing whose room is completely moon-themed.
