Description
Taking a break from commissions for a moment to hop on the Sol bandwagon for the solar eclipse!This isn't fantastic by any means, but it was fun nonetheless. Now back to commissions!

This happened like a week ago ugh I'm so late XD
I really love this though! Even if it's a jump on the bandwagon idea, it's a fun concept and I love seeing different artist's variations. Yours is pretty awesome!

No worries xD
Thank you! <3 I've had a lot of fun looking at all the different variations too.

Love how you put the eclipse with him.
To be honest, I think the eclipse kind of foreshadowed him in a way. The sun is bright and cheerful, just like Sol when we first met him, then dark and cold, just like he is later in the series.

You're welcome!
I wonder if the Erins thought of that when they wrote the books?

Maybe! I'm sure they had something like that in mind!

Ooooh! Correct me if I'm wrong but did you do a different art style for this? (( or whatever it's called, I dunno * crawls into depressed noobie artist ball * ))

Ribbon-Wren In reply to Catscratch809 [2017-08-23 18:48:22 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I did a little bit of a different style! I made the head more triangular and the muzzle less pronounced than my usual art, and I drew the eyes narrower and with less brush strokes. ^^ Good eye for catching that!

YEY, I was right! I feel so... Accomplished ;o;
( you should really do that style more often, it's pwetty :3 )
( btw judging by the comments I'm guessing there was an eclipse a few days ago? I don't really recall seeing or hearing anyone in my country talking 'bout it ._. )

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind when I draw future pieces! ^^
Yeah, there was a solar eclipse on Monday in North America! The states got the best view- the sun was completely covered in some places there. Where I live in Canada only a part of the sun was covered- but it was still cool! You can read about it on NASA's website here: eclipse2017.nasa.gov/eclipse-w…

Huh, I'm from Ireland so I never saw/knew about it x3
( everytime I see NASA's name I always remember they're the reason the majority of my nightmares have to do with black holes and the sun's red giant stage ;u; )

Ribbon-Wren In reply to Catscratch809 [2017-08-23 21:04:33 +0000 UTC]
That's fair! I googled it and apparently in Ireland a little portion of the eclipse could be seen covering the sun, but was only visible with eclipse glasses or a strong solar telescope. I live in Canada, and about 70% of the sun was covered for me, though honestly I couldn't really see much of a change. It just got a little dimmer like a when a cloud goes over the sun.
OH NO! D: That's not good! So sorry for reminding you of nightmares!!

Haha I was thinking about that book a lot today too!
Did you get to see the total eclipse? Where I live it was about 77% covered.

Cosmic4356 In reply to Ribbon-Wren [2017-08-22 01:35:38 +0000 UTC]
I'd say 80% was covered. If you looked at the shadows they would be all fuzzy, the tree in my front yard looked like it was covered in feathers!
I had just come from the beach where the full thing would be covered, but I heard from family members that it started to rain once it came around.

Woah that's so cool!!! I only really noticed that it got slightly darker where I live. Did you manage to take any cool pictures?
Oh no! That's too bad that it was raining. Hopefully the clouds didn't cover the sun too much!

Cosmic4356 In reply to Ribbon-Wren [2017-08-24 02:14:47 +0000 UTC]
Yeah it got darker and less hot. My mom managed to get some photos of it and there's this vid this guy took of it from a cruise (ExploringWithJosh on YT).
Well the week before the eclipse, when I was down there, they were calling for tropical storms so I'm not sure weather they saw it or not.
