#equinox eclipse

- - -

first some silly little close ups of their cute little face

eclipse is with dj in this au! *gasp* they semi-recently moved in with dj and his seven kids, loosely based on the minis, who all call eclipse their papa 🥺💕 i'm trying to make dj even more like a spider

even though this post isn't about them, i feel i should be explicit in saying sun and moon are not siblings in this au and will never be siblings in my own work. they're lovers in this story and have been since they were aware of each other. sun, moon, and eclipse are all soulmates, in the most literal sense possible, but with eclipse it is strictly platonic. to simplify it, eclipse has been the third wheel for over a thousand years, oopsies!

this is what eclipse actually looks like now without shapeshifting, a little creature… okay, they aren't actually little, they're 20 feet long from the front of the face to their ass… but they're fluffy and cuddly! the front half of their body is a bear and body half is a bull. although i might make it lion instead of bear because of their faces, i'm not sure yet. i have all the time in the world

this is what eclipse, sun, and moon used to look like over a thousand years ago! this is THE dream eater! it took both monsters and humans millions of years to figure out how to make them less dangerous and the spell weaved ended up splitting it into three less powerful, but still dangerous, entities! the main difference now is they have a conscience, they used to behave more like an animal

oh and this is just what happens when eclipse is angry! i imagine their body turns to molten rock and their rays fade into true flames. all their other features fade. i edited the image to make it more like how i want them to actually look; i have limited materials with traditional art and photo manipulation helps

i've been thinking of this au nonstop for like three weeks? it's actually sun/moon/self-insert, but eclipse was easiest to draw! i think there was less pressure that way. i made them orange entirely because i saw somebody call them clementine before and i never stopped thinking about it. like i adore canon ruin eclipse of course; they're perfect! but any orange eclipse just hits different

oh the three are still daycare workers here! they like to eat the kids' nightmares, so they sleep better. there are a rules on how they eat, like how they can do it without harming people, but i've spoke enough for today and i'll leave it at that
