This took me over a week to finish, and I’m a little nervous to share it but uhhh
So basically this is my idea of an Eclipse redemption au, where he didn't actually die and came through the portal pretending to be Solar, and lying his way through things like using Moon (From Solar's Dimension) having issues with Solar to excuse his body as having been replaced, etc etc because I feel the only way I can see Eclipse having a redemption arc from where he was at is by lying his way through it
So uh, in honor of today's episode, I finally drew Solar lmao 💀 (will make a digital version later)
Kinda messed around with making my own design 'cause I like designing characters and especially outfits (all at once my fav and least fav part of drawing tbh, fav 'cause I love drawing clothes (I wanted to be a fashion designer as a kid actually) but least fav 'cause I gotta cover all the fun anatomy I like spending time on, tho I didn't spend as much time on it this time since I knew it was gonna be covered 😭). Also I like the apron some people (namely @/witchysolfan) draw him in and I've read fics mentioning him wearing an apron so it's canon in my head XD.
Very rough sketches of the VR vs @/ayyy-imma-ninja's design 'cause I wanted to wrap my head around those ones first before attempting my own
Might try to take more colour inspiration from the VR model/more VR accurate thumbnail design? Idk, we'll see. I did legitimately think Meg's design was canon tho lol so when I saw Solar's actual model I was like wait a minute who the fuck is that??? (I never watched any episodes outside of the very first one several years ago till a few days ago, so I mainly just know stuff about the show from people talking about it and the more canon compliant parts of fics, so I've only ever seen fanart of Meg's design lol)
Also I kept drawing his pants after most of the rest of his clothes and it was making me laugh. My brother told me to give him some damn pants please XD
(Also if any tsams fans follow me from this post I just wanna give a heads up that this is my first time drawing anything tsams related and most of my dca art is actually my own aus where Sun and Moon are lovers, so if that's not your thing I would suggest not following me 'cause you'll see a lotta sun x moon art. Also I do personally ship Solar and Moon so if that's not your thing again I would suggest not following 'cause you'll see a lotta solarmoon art reblogged and at least some in the future actually drawn by me)
So I heard that today's Solar's birthday and made some fanart for him! He's all dressed up for his special day, though he was too lazy to tie his tie. Also, don't worry, Solar isn't smoking! He's just eating a candy cigarette/candy stick.
Oh- wait- hold on! Solar has a surprise for everyone! Here it is: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/36aJIInckUgGLD1uCn2Lkk?si=RaT0v7vPT16h58oscaTMVA&pi=u-aHlP9my6TEqz
Solar hopes you all like it! Happy Birthday Solar!!
