Beni and Brachium

From The Black Hole's 5th Anniversary Collab Event. I did two pieces. This one is of Penelope Browne (my OC Penelope's Gods AU equivalent) and Brachium (Penelope's Stars AU equivalent). Browne is in her "Beni" form (a look designed by my friend Bekah if Browne was a spacey). I know that I did reference separate floating poses on google when working on this--I just can't quite remember which ones I did. Usually, I write the specific poses I reference on the top of the paper or on the back, so it was my bad with this one. I do like how these two turned out and how nicely they contrast with their color palettes. Penelope Browne, Brachium (Stars AU)- Me (@circifox)

Beta Pictoris

Pictured here: https://www.deviantart.com/circifox/art/Drawtober-2023-Collision-1077178461 This is the woman who got bonked on the head with a space rock. It's her. So far with my Stars AU (for the most part) I've been trying to incorporate visual elements or physical elements of the star that we know of. It's young, but there are some smaller exoplanets that orbit it I believe. I think it was a white-blue star, which is why there's blues in her design, but I really wanted to incorporate the dust and debris disc in somehow. She's Zia's Stars AU equivalent. She's a rising artist who volunteers at art galleries in Pictor and Sculptor and teaches some art classes. Can be kinda clumsy and is prone to getting smacked around by rocks. Is well meaning, but her peers tend to be cautious of her due to how her presence can draw mayhem. She doesn't understand how it happens. Zia (Beta Pictoris) - Me (@circifox)

Drawtober 2023: Collision

This was for the collision prompt for that other art event I was participating in at the time of working on Drawtober. Also an elaborate excuse to draw my friend AJ's (once chariklo, rebranded to lonestargazer recently) Beta Pictoris. She has a really cute design and also is an artist. In account of how Beta Pictoris is a young but also unique star, I wanted Zia's Stars AU equivalent to also be a personification of Beta Pictoris. I wanted to emphasize the rings and dust in her coloration.  Also is prone to getting smacked by rocks. Despite her youth by star age standards, her artwork tends to draw others in. She likes to volunteer at art galleries and is known to teach some art classes at community centers in Pictoris and Sculptor.

Drawtober 2023: Eclipsed Lich

Hi this is exceptionally late on many levels. I apologize for that. I meant to post this (and several pieces) several months earlier though. Life hit as well as depression. Last year I attempted to do Mermay. But that didn't exactly work. So when I attempted to do Drawtober later in the year (along with an art prompt challenge in a Milky Way Fandom server I'm in), I combined the Mermay and Drawtober prompts I had. I took a photo of my calendar, but I do not remember what prompt this was for. I still think this turned out incredibly cool though. This is my personification of the exoplanet Lich. Something I wanted to do for this challenge and achieved was make spooky personifications of a set of exoplanets with names of spooky supernatural creatures. I've drawn Lich the most out of all of them? I imagine they're the leader of the group. They like to scare the Virgo stars. Their shared house with their roommates looks like a haunted house yet is perpetually decorated for Halloween at every moment. Can and will say things in a scary, spooky deep voice just to mess with people. Can be scary but is generally the most tame out of the group (don't say it to their face though) Lich - Me (@circifox)
