Turning PLANETS into CHARACTERS 🌠✨🌌 Mars, Jupiter, Saturn (CHARACTER DESIGN CHALLENGE)

[@tanwencooper6928]

Fyi: a bunch of new moons got discovered around Jupiter in February. Experts state that this is "too damn many!"

[@omenalaakso]

with the moons as pearls thing I like the idea of these deities being able to pick/break off the pearls to "summon" the animals and control orbs. Like they'd pick a moon, throw it down and the animal would morph out of it. It's also fun because that way Saturn can shake off all that jewelry and summon EIGHTY-THREE WOLVES

[@PricklyAlpaca]

I quite like this, it's fancy Pokemon ✨

[@hoot_am_1566]

What if their all different animals, what if they can decide like for earth she can change her owl into any animal and she has a pearl to keep her “moon” but she decides to let it be free

[@clozzyozzy42]

I don’t think you physically are able to draw “stereotypically masculine” men. All of these guys are gay wizards and I love it

[@PricklyAlpaca]

You're kinda right tho... 👀

[@MaryB.Robinson]

Isn't that another stereotype though? If you're not a "stereotypically masculine" man then you have to be gay?

[@clozzyozzy42]

@@MaryB.Robinson no and I’m aware of that. I used “stereotypically masculine” in quotes to single it out and reference the stereotypical male. Or what you are supposed to think of when you say masculine, strong, brooding, insensitive, hard etc. I fully aware that is not the standard nor the only type of masculinity. I was making a joke that all her characters are gay. I’m not trying to start some discourse over masculinity, cause honestly that is such a boring topic, and I’m saying that as a man. Let’s talk about something else

[@winterillust]

interesting lore.

[@A_Son_of_Demeter]

@@clozzyozzy42 I mean... ur not wrong

[@zenebean]

Jupiter has those cool mysterious Odin vibes in his art, but I like that you can still see the big boisterous energy in his wild hair and collar. Also just love the animal companions. Moons as puppers and cats is too cute

[@cmgvillager]

THESE DESIGNS ARE LITERALLY GODLIKE- I enjoy your designs a lot and would love to see you add more male ocs tbh always nice to see!!!

[@celestialhumanoid]

Yeah no shit, they're Gods.

[@ediedressel8567]

'Mars is a hot and cold planet with volcanoes and ice caps' iceland: hey babes, you were talking about me?

[@WSchmidt09]

This week is sort of ✨garbage,✨so I am saving this lovely design video as a pick me up for later (your videos are always delightful mood improvers). In the meantime, I hurl this comment into the algorithm in hopes of appeasing her voracious, infinite hunger. Happy Yuletide!

[@PricklyAlpaca]

I'm sorry this week has been rough friend! ♥️💕 I hope things get better! Thank you so much for sacrificing a comment to her highness, my appreciated ✨

[@bonsaiRocket]

This is maybe an odd detail to pick out but Jupiter's face came out SO beautiful!! I love how it's slightly lopsided and imperfect but still visually balanced, and the planes are rendered so nicely.

[@bridegetmadsen5759]

Fun fact: Since Saturn is the light planet in our Solar System, Saturn (if they had a big enough one) would float in a bathtub. According to my astronomy teacher.

[@CosmosOnion14]

saturn definitely reminds me of Mel from arcane in the best way.

[@cjthefox]

Can we all just take a minute to talk about how adorable the hair extensions are!!! Also WOOOOOOOOOOOW these are amazing!!! Just GORGEOUS!

[@Bea_the_witch]

i absolutely love the mars design! so cool!! but also giving me anakin skywalker vibes lmao even funnier thinking that mars is a very.... desert-y planet "I hate sand, it's coarse, rough, and irritating... and it gets everywhere!"

[@tishabloom1166]

30 seconds in and before anything else, I have to say I love the sailor moon hair inspo (that or Stella from Winx Club, both of which are still very on theme)

[@charleysdailylife]

I feel like Jupiter and Earth would be quite insolite friends. Like a duo you wouldn’t expect. And woaw ! The design of all the characters are just breathtaking !

[@MakoHarpy]

I really love these designs! Also you are saying Phobos and Deimos right dw, but on the subject of moons fun fact: Deimos and Phobos are Mars' kids in mythology, some of Jupiter's moons are named after his lovers (esp the 4 that you named), and some of Saturn's moons are named after other titans since he is a titan as well. Again, love the designs and the colors and clothing they're just so gorgeous!!

[@grimtales_134]

We have the mom, Earth, and the dad, Jupiter. Then there's the chaotic ones, silent ones, and all in between ones. Sounds like a fun time in space.

[@TheVendettaMcQueen]

Your art always amazes me! So excited for the next one too! For some reason all I can imagine is Neptune and Uranus being the weird, twin sisters talking in unison in the corner, and Pluto being their tiny, angry, kid brother.

[@glass_pheonix2095]

Jupiter's sneeze can be heard from across the galaxy for sure

[@Jonanation]

Ok but can we talk about how good you are at drawing animals? They’re so fluid I wanna hug ‘em- And this goes without saying but the characters are so cool too! I love your videos, I think you’re quickly becoming one of my favourite art youtubers!

[@lavenderlc]

I’d imagine Mars would be hot headed and has two moons gifted to him by earth. Who shapeshifter between wolves, foxes and strong magical wolf like creatures. (Also fun fact Deimos and Phobos are the gods of terror and accompany Mars into war often) Saturn is honest and careless. He does not care at all. None. He often meditates to channel some good energy as he is around Mars and Jupiter because they are a little chaotic. His moons are pretty calm and give him good company his favorite whom he married, Rhea. Rhea is the only one who can commonly be found shifting into a human unlike the others. He loves his brothers though but can get annoyed by them easily.

[@kailawkamo1568]

Saturn's moons would have been also great as lambs with Titan being a ram. This is mostly my impression of Saturn's agricultural side.

[@delphinelavendermorgan4627]

My friends: You can't fall in love with fictional characters/ something turned into characters. Me: Try me

[@thelying2594]

Saturn is my favorite planet and you did so good with them!!! I knew it had 83 Moons before but I didn't know about the storm so I truly love the little researched bits!! Funnily enough Saturn is also associated with the Capricorn Zodiac which their apparently good luck color is Navy Blue which it was a cool coincidence to see you use!!

[@Starfire10982]

Jupiter and his celestial cats. OMG I love it so much.

[@joyjellyface4231]

“Fancy dad” 😂. Love the drawings.

[@moonkitty5274]

Mars looks like the godly badboy love interest from every teen fantasy romance novel while Saturn is the mature yet deadly one that gives gentleman vibes and isn't there for Mars' bs

[@chaewonsroses]

mars is def a tsundere fight me

[@thomasfoolery9733]

The creativity 💗💗💗

[@dotthepixieking]

I love those designs, they are absolutely gorgeous! The amount of detail and though behind each one of them is something I want to implement in my own art ^^ On another note: who else saw Saturn's wolf moons and instinctively thought "God damn it Moonmoon" XD

[@pathetic.waffle]

Maybe I'm just a sad chaotic queer far away from their family but I very much relate to that silly little trio and the stormy dad/ cool calm uncle dynamic. Also it was nice to see you make male character designs for a change, even if I won't be crushing on them like I do on most of your designs xD As a major space nerd, this is my favourite series of yours so far !

[@haleyspring8190]

Fun fact: Jupiter’s moons are named after the god’s many affairs, and Juno (the robot) is named after Jupiters wife, the Roman equivalent to Hera, so pray for those ladies the moons are named for

[@Brenilla]

Fun Mars fact thing! Mars will be closest to Earth on December 8th this year!(wont be this close for years) Certain regions will also be able to see the moon eclipse mars! So remember to go out and look at the bright red planet outside at night on the 8th. Also love em designs

[@PricklyAlpaca]

Yooo this is really cool! I'll be sure to stargaze that night 😎

[@audreyanderson5931]

Girl your hair is ✨️STUNNING✨️ im so jealous

[@flamebloom4659]

Saturn is definitely the kind of character I would have a crush on. They are all so amazing, and the companion-moons idea is adorable!

[@DancingOnGlass89]

I hope you know how amazing this is. I know you joked about taking inanimate things and turning them into characters. But like you didn't just do that , you took the assignment and blew it the he'll up. Each character is that, their not just different colours of the same thing. And then the "nerd" knowledge(a compliment not insult) chefs kiss*

[@HarveyBettlesHall]

Honestly love the jupiter design super cool hope i look like him when im older!

[@steamstoveprincess8863]

You should do an illustration where all 9 plants are together for like a series finale

[@thelivingtrebuchet6180]

1: planet. people. -PLANET. PEOPLE. they look great 2: I love your hair- so much, that is a look and a half.

[@nevaehaho61]

Headcanon: Jupiter is giving me major Odin vibes. Maybe his moons could function like the ravens Odin is associated with, and maybe he can see through their eyes. Too bad he’s too much of a drunken dad to use them properly sometimes 😂😅 Regardless, absolutely love these! I love the sci-fi take instead of the generic Greek/Roman god designs I usually see. Absolutely can’t wait for more! 🙌

[@AriesAria]

Fun fact: Mars' moons, Phobos and Deimos, are named for two minor deities in Greek mythology who are companions of the god of war, Ares, who is often conflated with his roman counterpart, Mars.

[@Kittenqueer]

Jupiter feels like the kind of dad who wants his kids to succeed in as many extracurriculars as possible

[@ailenponce7107]

Wow Saturno 👀🌌, so precious and elegant.

[@charliecaturnip4438]

This is the first time I see a drawing video of yours since I'm a recent subscriber and oh my goat am I not disappointed, they look AMAZIIIING it was very satisfying to watch and to listen to, the facts about the planets were 'simple' enough for me to find them very interesting and your voice is very peaceful. If I had any money I would love to have prints of them. Def gonna watch the first part of this

[@erinkarp]

OMG all of these look so good! Mars looks downright fabulous, I love what you did with Jupiter's eyes and cats, and Saturn has such a stunning outfit!

[@bectip2229]

in love with this series AND already building a shrine to worship daddy Jupiter 🙏

[@seraphlastname3511]

damn pricklyalpaca your translation of saturn into a character design looks GNC af. this is good for me

[@emilyrln]

I feel a completely normal amount of attraction toward Jupiter 😅

[@jessicarose3342]

Absolutely love these designs! Had the thought while watching "what if all the planet's moons were actually these masculine characters partners?" ... am I the only one who had this random thought?

[@namtellectjoonal7230]

I was kinda hoping for Saturn to have a swarm of bees representing their 83 moons but the wolves are also cool I guess xD

[@noeisnow619]

Maybe the moons next? They could all have primarily monochromatic colour palates with hints of different colours and their own unique personality based off of background. Some possibilities could be: Luna, Phobos, Deimos, Ganymede, Callisto, Io, Europa, Titan, Rhea, Oberon, Umbriel, Ariel, Miranda, and Triton :D

[@Ray.Ray1597]

"...and draw masculine characters for once- im just kidding they're gonna be hot" Ive never related to a single quote more than this lmao

[@thesaviourfromheavensunwuk9639]

This is so magically amazing

[@winstermagic7886]

So a close family friend of mine knows some people that worked on the costumes for house of dragons, and they gave her a remnant from a bolt of fabric that was woven for the show-with the Targaryen seal. My friend has no use for it, she she gave it to me to do whatever with. I am going to use it to line a waistcoat and flex on all my friends who like game of thrones :)

[@PricklyAlpaca]

That's also insanely cool! I bet the projects you use it for will turn out dope ✨

[@winstermagic7886]

@@PricklyAlpaca it’s only like half a metre lol, but I cut the lining for a waistcoat and there’s a few seals left so I’ll probably make something for my brother with them.

[@LucielAngelican]

idk why but the two foxes remind me of Sköll and Hati who are two wolves which chase the sun and moon

[@ksglitch6463]

My favourite thing about Jupiter is that all of its moons are named after the gods lovers, and nasa sent a probe named Juno to observe and check on it. Juno is the name of Jupiter's wife. Juno got sent to check on her husband's orgy😂😂

[@fuzzydragons]

those all look amazing! a lot of detail that really fits with the moons characteristics 😀🤩

[@brianahawkins8124]

Magically Incredible! I love all three.

[@abyssmal]

After rewatching your first vid to refresh my memory on Mercury, Venus and Earth I'm here to input a list of character dynamics, relationships, etc. because I am an absolute goblin when it comes to writing those: - Mercury looks like a younger Saturn, and since both are named after gods that do commerce I feel like Saturn would be a sort of mentor-figure for them (aka be gay do crime with your 1000% homosexual uncle) BONUS: They always pit the blame on Mars when Jupiter notices that there seems to be less of whatever they stole (I have not decided or even got that for on thinking about what they steal but that's besides the point) - Earth's health is rapidly deteriorating (cough cough, HUMANS) and while Venus is very sympathetic and trying to help her through it, Mars is just "Lol skill issue." - Earth, though looking like an absolute majestic goddess, is the definition of unhinged. She has Gen Z humor with the cutting eloquence of someone like Homer and it brings everyone *whiplash* just to hear her speak. Only Venus can keep up with her and sometimes even she's lost. Definitely jokes about her crippling health with the meter and rhythm of Shakespeare and the language of your average Tumblr post BONUS: She knows every language ever spoken (including animals and dead ones) and can switch accents in a snap - In reference to the mythos, Mars is attracted to Venus. However, it's in the same sense as a comp-het pre-teen homophobic boy who's desperately trying to convince himself and others that he's straight by obsessively thirsting over a random girl that lives two blocks away without realising that 1. it's not working, not even on himself and 2. she's lesbian or aro/ace and literal lightyears ahead of his league - Jupiter has "dad that's trying *so hard* to be inclusive" vibes and is probably trying to tell Mars that it's okay if he likes men. He probably has a journal solely focused on Mercury (with notes on pronouns, what's ok to say/what's not, how they view gender, etc.) and their androgyny. The back pages are dedicated to dad jokes on said androgyny - The planets share one braincell and it belongs to Venus. It would have belonged to Earth, but humans have left too much of an impact on her I would write more but this has gotten excessively long. Maybe I'll compile it all in a google doc to share TL;DR: Mercury and Saturn are gay and do crimeTM, Earth simultaneously speaks like a tumblr user and Ovid, Mars has convenient internalised homophobia and is blamed for said crimes Mercury and Saturn commit, Jupiter is a wholesome trying-to-be-inclusive dad, and Venus is the only one who has half a mind

[@Beepony]

jaysus cripes that jupiter looks amazing

[@bubblegumpink7768]

the intros are getting progressively more netflix documentaryish

[@v.v365]

This is gonna be a cursed comment but you mentioning the ammonia crystals on Jupiter meaning it probably smells perpetually of pee and all the notes on how kingly and fatherly the character design is supposed to be reminded me of a part from a Monster Factory video where Griffin McElroy renames a king character in a Skyrim game “Grandpa Piss” and I can’t stop giggling at that thought😂

[@lynetteackerman3710]

They are so beautiful like they really look like goods. They definitely represent their planets. I loooooove those designs

We finally watched it to cap off (and reward ourselves for) the workweek! Since the sign off is fresh in my brain, I love your weird editing and transitions. It's so rare to see you draw men, so it always feels like a treat to see them in your style. I feel like your Jupiter struggle paid off - I love the mad, craggy wizard look he has going and the piece blends together in such a pleasing way.

[@lelliock4277]
