 We're whalers on the moon,
We carry a harpoon,
For they ain't no whales
So we tell tall tales
And sing our whaling tune.

It's like Falcor trying reeeeally hard to understand what happened to his Gremlin friend after midnight. Hmmm... what happens when a Gremlin eats something while ON the moon? What if it's cheese FROM the moon?

Is that the song from Futurama?

To see these go from just colorful to within the nighttime sky is astonishing. When I first viewed their positions, I was reminded of the yin yang; therefore, the choice to use a black and white cookie is fabulous, in my humble opinion.

Holy cow, that backlighting. I wish I could color/shade half as well as you, Miss Oddity.

Oh wow, I couldn't even see the cookie against the night sky and moon glow. I had to go the colored WIP below to notice!

I hope you don’t mind me asking, but how did you take their original color palettes to these blue toned ones? I know a lot of artists achieve that sort of effect in different ways; I tend to put a layer of blue (or whatever color my light source is) over the whole canvas and turn it to Overlay or Multiply and turn the opacity down to something like 50%. I ask because you did it SO well here; this has to be one of your most immersive and stunning pieces with some of your best lighting 😍

Thank you! It's kind of hard to explian, maybe I'll make a process gif of it. I believe the characters have one Multiply layer clipped to them, colored medium blue. Then another clipped layer set to Overlay, it's a bright blow gradient aiming up at the characters from the light source, the moon. Then I painted on two new layers (Overlay and Add) the detailed areas of lighting, like where the moonlight is hitting the side of Cosmos' face. I use a lot of layers, there's some 40-50 in use on these piece.
