Planets As Humans - Tumblr Posts
The Main Solar System Planets (along with certain Moons)
You can't forget Pluto, too!
I drew these months ago, around October. I even drew other Dwarf Planets and asteroids in the system, but I can only upload 10 pictures at a time. Don't worry though, I'll be uploading them here soon!
I put a bit of my own personal spins to the designs here, like how I personally see Venus as more masculine as the morning star. So my version of Venus is a trans man and, in turn, Mars is a trans woman. I also see Jupiter and Saturn as brothers, as well.
I have a lot to say, but I don't want to bog down this post already, so feel free to ask me any questions.
Lich and their Planets (PSR B1257+12 system)
The Pulsar, Lich, along with their planets, Draugr, Poltergeist, and Phobetor, are located 2,300 light-years away from the Sun in the Virgo Constellation. Lich was discovered on February 9, 1990, Poltergeist and Phobetor on January 22, 1992, and Draugr on April 22, 1994.
Poltergeist, Draugr, and Phobetor were one of the first exoplanets discovered, while Lich was the first pulsar found to have planets.
~~~Notes Under the Cut~~~
I find Lich's system quite fascinating! Being a pulsar, Lich is undead. The original star is gone, now only its fast spinning core remains. And the planets are slowly fading in a sense. Draugr is the closest and Poltergeist is second, being even closer to Lich than Mercury is to our sun.
Lich: I didn't quite know what I wanted to do at first. They are an undead creature and are typically wizards, but I wondered what one would look like as a fighter from DnD or a knight.
I don't know the relationship between Lich and his planets here. I imagine he's either their father or simply a protector of them.
Draugr: They're a Viking! I wanted to draw them as androgynous as many warriors in Nordic Cultures had men and women. I drew them as more "fresh" as Draugr wasn't discovered until much later compared to the rest. They are undead, but only the cataracts and scars are seen as of now.
Poltergeist: I'm going to be honest, she's inspired by the little girl from 1982's Poltergeist. Although I did add a little bit of Wendy Darling and myself to her
Phobetor: What can I say? I like the game Hades. I kinda wanted to round up the quartet with Phobetor but still add his own flair. The thing is, Phobetor isn't undead. In Ovid's Metamorphoses, Phobetor is one of the sons of Somnus (or Hypnos in Greek Myth). While he lives in the Underworld, he technically isn't dead like how Hades and Nyx aren't dead.
That is all.
