uranus was knocked on his side sometime in his youth. quite a traumatic experience!

[spaceraceart]

jupiter being a lil weirdo 🙏😔 trying his best to be nice, he'll figure it out eventually heheheheh

god i love these so much man aaaaaaaa!!

another set of jupiter/earth content. enemies to friends.

been talking with @spaceraceart about these dumbs. thought itd be funny if jupiter was the school yard bully to earth when they were kids. later on, jupiter tried his best to make amends by insisting on being a helping hand to earth.

day 2: new oc!

a day late due to car troubles, but here's my entry for oc-tober day 2: new oc! made these guys last week heheh. theyre a personification of the 51 pegasi system, with the exoplanet (dimidium or 51 pegasi b) being super super close to its star (helvetios or 51 pegasi) , orbiting it in only 4 days!

i decided to make it so dimidium was super super clingy, but don't worry, helvetios is really into it hehee. they're a toxic co-dependent couple that's been dating for billions of years, but they somehow make it work.

mars, jupiter, and venus ponder a bird

[spaceraceart]

i was today years old when i learned that neptune isnt blue anymore 😔

[spaceraceart]

a whole dude right there

you ever look at saturn and be like god damn thats a guy

day 1: fav oc

wanted to try doing some prompts for bweird's oc-tober event! this is for day 1: fav oc. i don't really have a single favorite oc, so i drew some of my favorite planet personification ocs, sol earth and jupiter!

i included some quick info cards on them, but if you want you can find more info about them on my toyhouse (linked on my pinned post). below the read me is some more ramblings about these guys.

what makes them my favorites? well, sol is just a joy of a character to write and draw. his infectious positive attitude always gets to me. but he's also hilarious to mess with due to his loose morals and paranoia (gotta love being a huge star thats overly protective of his planets). he's also lying here. his favorite planet is mercury, which is very obvious to everyone, but he tries his best to make it seem like he loves all his planets equally.

earth is the main character of this group of ocs, so of course they're gonna be one of my favorites. i love their design, and their hypocritical attitude is always fun to write.

and finally, jupiter might come close to being my all-time favorite out of these guys. he's such a nervous wreck and full of anger issues, which is always fun to mess with. the planet jupiter is also just my favorite planet overall, so i might be a bit bias when it comes to him haha.

some various planet doodles

starring: jupiter, the galilean moons (io, callisto, europa, and ganymede), sol, venus, mercury, and ceres!

oc-tober day 4: underappreciated oc

this is my entry for day 4 of oc-tober! it was tough picking on an oc i felt like i dont spend a lot of time on, because with 200+ ocs, many of them go neglected. in the end i went with venus, since i feel like i dont draw her enough despite her being a fairly major character in my planet personification story! i love her design so much, definitely need to spend more time on her.

[spaceraceart]

sol x mercury is one of my favorite ships with my ocs. just the thought of a giant god-like flaming ball of plasma falling in love with a tiny space rock is so fun to me. so here's some recent doodles i've done of them hehe

[spaceraceart]

long time no see! heres a lil oc doodle dump heheheh

I was looking at your project: geocentric, and I find it really cool! I was wondering if you had more on black holes. A bit terrifying to know the largest and most powerful cosmic entities are all-consuming eyes of darkness. Or maybe I'm just thinking about TON-618/Phoenix A (whichever's biggest lol) because Sagittarius A still looks like a funky dude :)

ooo thank you!! i haven't messed around with black holes in my story too much besides what i have for sagittarius a*, but i can talk some more about them hehe.

as you noted, sagittarius (or sag) is a bit more of a funky/goofy dude, which is a reference to how the actual black hole is fairly dormant! he's not spitting out jets or actively eating anything, he's just kind of sitting there in the middle of the milky way and having a good time.

(more stuff under readmore)

most galaxies will have a central super massive black hole (smbh) , and have some close relationship with them. for some, the smbh might torment their galaxy, especially if theyre super active and constantly blasting out radiation. but for others, like milky way and sag, they may have a romantic relationship. i designed black holes and galaxies around the same time, so their designs are meant to compliment each other. galaxies lack a mouth, whereas black holes are pretty much all mouth. this creates an interesting relationship, with smbhs acting as the mouth of their galaxy, often serving as their voice.

i haven't designed too many stellar-mass black holes, but they'd probably look similar to sag, maybe with less colors and much smaller. below is a stellar black hole (cygnus x-1) that i designed based off of tom cardy's H.S. song heheh. stellar mass black holes come from the most massive of stars dying violently in a supernova. while they often still hold the memories and personality from when they were a star, they get dramatically changed from their new connection to The Void.

at star death, black holes get exposed to The Void, the shadow of The Universe that represents dark matter, dark energy, and all that empty space in space. The Void allows for black holes to gain some sort of higher cosmic understanding of reality. this makes most black holes mysterious, hard to understand beings. The Void also gifts them many cosmic powers, such as the power to manipulate spacetime!

(this mirrors how galaxies and the largest of stars often have a connection to The Universe)

most black holes are able to manipulate their own size, appearing larger or smaller. many black holes are also able to almost teleport through space, either literally teleporting through worm holes of their own making, or traveling over light speeds. they can bend gravity like a limb, pulling and pushing on others around them. overall, scary fellas! super massive black holes will typically have some secondary power unrelated to spacetime manipulation as well, such as sag who can manipulate dreams.

but yeah, thats basically my current ideas for how black holes work. i need to try personifying some of the more "scary" black holes, such as TON-618 and all that, so I can really delve into what makes these things terrifying hehehe. thank you for the ask!

if you have a moon gijinka (that i cant find if you do)

or if not, might i suggest using

as an idea?

i do! her name is luna. i got a couple drawings of her, but they're using a mostly outdated design lolll, i need to draw her more often!

here's a recent drawing i did of her and sol for the april 8th solar eclipse!

[spaceraceart]

jupiter is around the same age as other planets, but his old-fashioned tastes always makes him seem older than he actually is.

[spaceraceart]

luna has the biggest crush on sol (despite him being a taken man lmao), and always loves the chances they get to hang out.

very late, but i wanted to draw something for the solar eclipse! i was lucky to see the totality, and how pink and big it looked really stuck out to me

bweirdoctober day 6: past

some more old art, but here's how the planets more-or-less looked like when they were younger! only thing that i might change is neptune's color scheme (since it was proven that neptune actually isnt a deep blue, but instead has a more similar color to uranus lol).

the young solar system was fairly violent, with millions of rocks trying to survive and grow. young planet personifications start out as shapeless masses of energy. when they get big enough, they may turn into some sort of creature or animal. those that get the biggest will eventually turn into humanoids.

some basics on how they were like when they were kids:

Mercury: He was bullied a lot by the other planetesimals around him, and eventually looked for safety in Sol's arms

Venus: Was much sweeter when she was younger, with her atmosphere not being as toxic and crushing. Had the potential for life as well, which she was really excited about.

Earth: Was always an experimental lil scientist, somehow creating life from their toxic, superheated world. Would eventually cool down, but right now they're all fired up!

Mars: Also had water. He often fought with other planetesimals and made a mess whenever he went. Had a rivalry w Jupiter. Venus, Earth, and Mars all became fast friends, and have been bffs for billions of years.

Jupiter: The big bully on the playground, he disliked the other planets and would shoved his weight around. Had the biggest crush on Sol, which made him want to orbit closer to him.

Saturn: Similar to how he is nowadays, but less jaded. He tried his best to control Jupiter and prevent him from orbiting inwards and killing the other planets.

Uranus: A sociable sweetheart! A collision that knocked him on his side would turn him into the emotionless man he is nowadays.

Neptune: Was always fairly nervous. Relied on Uranus a lot. Wasn't a big fan of the solar system and was always this close to leaving it entirely, with Uranus being the only thing keeping him around.
