Dance of the Dying Swan

Another one of those pieces whose name was probably too long to put "Drawtober 2023" in front of. One detail I don't talk much about for Angel is the fact he's pretty multitalented. He's a painter, a pianist, and a dancer. Ballet was structured in a way that it was an escape for him with the struggles of learning how to rule. I do associate some swan lake pieces with him.  Omelet is watching him practice "the dance of the dying swan". It's not originally from Swan Lake and is a solo dance, but it has influenced some interpretations of Odette in Swan Lake. Here is a video of the dance in question (https://youtu.be/kJ4uowripdw?si=XTk0A7rjDmFt9Abb). There are many videos of ballerinas performing it if you're interested.  Angelus Themis, Omelet- Me (@circifox)

Drawtober 2023: The Pig Comet

So for Stars AU Angel and Omelet, Angel's equivalent is Algenib (the wings of pegasus), and Omelet is one of the Bradfield Comets. Specifically the C/1979 Y1 Bradfield Comet. It shows up in the July Pegasids meteor shower and is probably the origin of it (at least per Wikipedia). Algenib met Comet Omelet while he was still an idol in the music industry.  I believe for the additional event I was participating in, I drew this for the comet prompt.

Erma Gourdy, the Pumpkin Mermaid

I'm not sure if the text limit would allow me to add "Drawtober 2023" at the front so I didn't. Erma's name was inspired by a coffee I got when I visited family in Phoenix. My mom and I went to Phoenix overnight in October of last year because the concert we were planning to go to had the dates changed. So we went to the Monday one to rescheduled. The coffee was at a local place in Phoenix (I don't know what it was called), but it was a pumpkin one called "Erma Gourd". Excellent pun, I approve. I couldn't figure out whether or not to call her Erma or Gourdy, so I just chose both. I did like the design I came up with for her. Erma Gourdy- Me (@circifox)
