Moons turn! Heres the boy also 7ft tall like Sun

He is a nocturnal species compared to those of his current flock, he was found as an egg and taken in

Due to evident differences he was bullied a lot when he was younger, he was the biggest crybaby around until he got tired of it all and decided to become the bully to get ppl to leave him alone, this led to him bullying Sun since he was also very sensitive, anxiety, and would cry often, it continued for maybe a few months until Eclipse steps in and quite literally smacks some sense into him, it was also verbal to dw lol

It takes some time but he ends up befriending Sun and Eclipse and both him and Clips become Suns protecters until hes able to protect himself as well but they still baby and tease him often

Evident differences in the Moons species compared to Sun and Clips are, different wing shape for silent flight (Sun makes a lot of different noises with his like a pigeon) darker color palate, alot of iridescence, slightly different canines, and of course a different sleep cycle

draw a moth every day challenge some educational moth content. be very careful with moth wings!! they're not meant to last. if you see a moth with tattered wings in the wild she's just a very old girl :) (daily moth doodle 25/366)

Finished!!

I had a really hard time finding my footing with Moons design, mainly the colours since i’m more used to the warmer colours of Sun but yeah!! That’s him!! Look at the little fella!!

I created a side by side image of the two, mainly for design comparison but also because their eye placements were too perfect also now they get to stand next to each other!! hehe

Bit of characterisation: I think Moon is just veeeryy sleepy and while Sunmoths always looking for light, Moonmoth avoids it. Always. It’s just too bright for em,, his little eyes are too sensitive

Thanks for the positivity on my first Sunmoth post btw!! I know some of you guys might wanna be tagged so mwhahaha @basyacriptid @fluffbeast7 andddd @yes---but---no

I have a good few doodles of Moonmoth and one of Sunmoth that i’ll post soon! I also had an idea for an eclipse design, that being of a spider but I wouldn’t be sure as how it would fit into my AU… Anyways!!! Enjoy! WOO MOTHHSHSHS

helloo!! we have one question, whats your favorite kind of bug, and the breed aka type of it ?

I love love love moths! My favourite moth is the pink spirit moth

my favourite local species of moth is the luna moth, which looks very similar to the pink spirit moth because they're in the same Genus!

Here is one that I saw this summer!

Thank you so much for the ask!

Spanish moon moths! As recommended by one of my followers in the ask box :3 wow these are so pretty!! They're basically like luna moths but with an added outline in photoshop lmao. Beautiful pattern, surprisingly rarely read about them anywhere. LOOK AT THOSE ANTENNAE!! C:

They come form the Saturniid family, and theyre native to spain and france! I might get to see one someday since i often travel there :)
