+Please view the high res version on this. The preview version kills it T_T+ Illustration done for class, based on Tagalog mythology. Pencil sketch, colored rather hastily in photoshop (5-7 hrs for the whole image, I think?). It's supposed to look like Buan is being sneaky and pretending to eat the stars... but she looks more like she's yawning ^^; (mostly copy/pasted from wiki) The Sun god Arao and the moon goddess Buan both had large families of stars, but Buan believed her stars could not survive the heat of Arao's. They both agreed to destroy their stars. While Arao devoured his, Buan hid hers in the clouds, where they would occasionally emerge. Upon seeing this, Arao was filled with rage and is eternally in pursuit of the Buan, trying to destroy her. At dawn, Buan hides the stars and brings them forth only when her eldest daughter, Tala (the evening and morning star) says the sun is too far away to pursue them.
