Description
Remember the Moon events back in January? There was a Blue Moon coupled with a Moon Eclipse, a truly rare occurrence.
Back then I wanted to draw something for the occasion, only I wasn't feeling really up for it.
But the idea was there and I kept it for March - because at least the Blue Moon was going to repeat itself.

So, the idea was this. A scene of Full Moon magic from my own world. Only, in my own world the term Blue Moon would be much more literal. Why? Because in addition to the regular White Moon Silvenlen, the kind of which we know all too well, I also have another one - a much smaller satellite with an eccentric orbit, but unlike her big sister, it is velveteen blue in color. I call it Neyquenlex. I hadn't drawn it for a long long time, and this seemed like the perfect occasion. I managed to draw most of it today within a couple of hours. Right on time :3
So yeah, not much story behind this one, just the occasion. Although technically, this can be counted as a sort of illustration related to my book. This is a scenery from a place called Indelien - The Morning Valley. Legendary place of magic which, without spoiling much, our main characters are trying to find. So these are the sloping meadows of Indelien facing the Eastern Sea under the Full Blue Moon in a truly beautiful magical blue night. The bushes by the way are shining with their own light. I call them star bushes, an old idea of mine. It seems like these rare plants are abundant in Indelien.

So yeah, not much to tell here. Happy Blue Moon and enjoy the blue magic.
