Hey, @avaloncelsus ! I was your @bravelysanta Secret Santa this year!

I decided to try out a sort of retro anime look for this art (inspired by this tutorial). I think it turned out well for my first time.

I hope you like it, and happy holidays!

Happy Holidays, @allpatchedart ! 

Your Fort-Lune Holidays request really inspired me so I went a bit overboard with the world building of my illustrations.

Image 1 is a Day of the Dead/Lunar eclipse celebration

Image 2 is a more classic Village or Harvest festival.

Image 3 is inspired by the Holi Hindu festival.

Image 4 is a Carnaval/Mardi Gras/Halloween festival.

Hope you’ll like it!

(If you want the details of each holidays and some general lore, I’ll put it underneath the cut.)

First of all, I had to decide on the designs of the characters so I based them on the 3 characters you see on Fort-Lune as well as Sagitta clothing (since they are originally from there), which I find to be inspired by Tibet clothing. I also added a few modern or futuristic ones.

I also thought of the architecture there. We only see the big metal tower int the game so I was thinking that the building on the Moon would be very utilitarian and bland : simple square geometric shapes, variations go gray concrete and metals. Only the fancier buildings could afford more colors since most of those pigments would have to be taken from Luxendark.

1 - While the Moon Dwellers are not Orthodox Crystalists, they still worship the Crystals in some ways. They also greatly the connections with their cousins on Luxendark. That’s why every year, on the Day of the Dead, they burn great bonfires and and illuminate small crystals so that the soul of the dead can return to their native land and continue the cycle of live created by the Crystals. That connection is even greater during Lunar eclipses, or Blood Moons, an event also celebrated in Luxendark.

(I also put a Magnolia mourning her loved ones)

2 - Every Nation needs a Harvest festival. Usually more of a big village festival, the Moon Dwellers is it to connect to one another and to be grateful to the food they receive. Ressources on the Moon are scarce and they often have to send covert missions on Luxendark to find more of them. 

3 - The Holi festival is often celebrated in India by throwing colored powder at each other. It has both religious connotations and a celebration of Spring. On the Moon, there are no seasons. 

As I said before, Fort-Lune seriously lacks colors, that’s why people wear colorful clothes when they can afford to. This celebration is both to give more life to their home, and a way to connect to Luxendark since the pigments are taken directly from natural ressources on the planet.

4 - This Mardi Gras celebration functions a bit like Halloween without the spiritual/dead aspect. It’s more to exorcise their fears of the monsters that haunt them, specifically the Ba’als. They transform it into fun with costumes, theaters, parades, concerts, etc…

Ringabel: I wouldn't die in a glue trap. I would escape. I'd say something like "no... it can't end here...!" and pull myself out while yelling and thinking about women

[bill-beauxquais]

Happy Holidays @yewgeneolgia ! Here's Ringabel and Infinity Airy hanging out, hope you have a great year! I'm glad I got to draw a fairy, and my favorite one, at that!

Maybe Airy should've settled to buy a pair of earrings or something... !

(Tagging @bravelysanta as well)
