So for a while now I've been really interested in stars, and as with many things I've created a little fiction for them. Sirius A and Sirius B are characters in a story revolving mostly around Antares and Betelgeuse.

You see. A long time ago, what is now Sirius B was the far larger of the two, more than twice the mass of the current Sirius A (5 solar masses versus 2). Now it has just under 1 solar mass, crammed into the size of the earth. It gets called "the pup", but I figured she's more like an old and bitter shadow of herself. She kinda raised Sirius A (increased its metallicity when it was a red giant), and now that he's taken centre stage she feels a bit overshadowed. She's fiery, but empty.

So, enough story!wittering. Pens and markers, and I was going to do the whole thing traditionally, but then I couldn't be bothered with all the black and I wanted to make it shiny, so PS came in.

I took the background stars from Celestia , a space simulation program, at the point where (around now) Siirus A and B would be in that sort of configuration, but everything else is me.

There are actually far more drawings of the stars as humans, but this is the only finished thing. xD
