This is so ominous. I feel like it belongs on a promo for Welcome to Night Vale.

unfortunately no eclipse photography can ever outdo the waffle house one from 2017

Superstition has given many explanations for eclipses. Primitive cultures believed that the sky reflected what happened on earth. So they believed that during eclipses darkness reigned over light. In many cultures, they thought that eclipses were a good time for sacrifices. Even human sacrifices. In fact, they'll explain it better in History class, but the Maya believed that human blood was… Well, we're out of time.

Experiencing an eclipse

Shadows grow weird

The hair on the back of your neck starts to prickle

Minutes before the totality hits the birds go silent and the bugs SCREAM

The danger sense in the back of your brain says something is w-r-o-n-g

Logically, you know the darkness is coming, you can track the moon���s path over the sun by the shadows on the ground and through your glasses

Totality still hits like a physical blow. The sky goes dark.

People scream, people cry.

The Sun is gone

It’s a devastating black void in the sky where warmth has always been. Horror and jubilation follow, people trying to grab photos and each other

Just as equilibrium settles, the moon shifts and the first piercing ray of sunlight is blinding.

The sun, the light returns, the sky becomes blue again.

People scatter, intent on returning home as quickly as they can.

Birds start singing again.

The shadows return to normal.

The eclipse is over.

Just under four minutes of quiet, dark stillness. The nearby crows were (once again, as they were in 2017) very much not a fan as totality approached.

I was thinking about the eclipses in the season finales and thought it was...really strange that S3 didn't have one. 🤔 That finale took place in a very sunny environment and a sun was even placed on the floor of The Lost Library.

Both Sun and Moon are needed to make an eclipse and there seemed to be an interesting uptick in moon imagery throughout that season too; in spite of things like The Spear of Selene, the invasion and Penny's homesickness being settled. Whenever the Moon is in focus, or just Space in general, we're more likely to think of how closely Della is associated with these things. Both of the eclipses we saw in the show had something important to do with her: The first one preceded the discovery of her still being alive and the second one happened when she reunited with her brother.

Considering the reflective nature of the show, it would make a lot of sense for her to be involved, in some kind of way, if a third eclipse were to have happened. Could the other instances have been hinting towards the third one being a loose combination of the two? And if it involves another character, who could represent the Sun well enough to match up with Della's Moon connection? 😏

So, yeah, I wanted to draw something that resembled my thoughts on what could have been. I mainly drew inspiration from DT version of "The Kiss" painting Gladstone had in "Lamp".

I pretty much intended to recreate that but had trouble with the posing. 😓 I was also inspired by "Neverrest" and a couple of lyrics from "Ragnarok"s hero song. ✨

I had said that I wanted to add more effects to my work, and this piece certainly delivers that! I was gonna try a lens flare out too, but I was getting tired of working on this piece. 😂 The process for this one and the last one were dragging out too much... x_x

Heh, as I was putting this description together, I realized that my last post from last year had a sunset and my new post for the new year is a sunrise...I love that it. xD

Well, uh...time to work on next month's pieces. 🚶🏾‍♀️

Not to totally dox myself but for the second time in seven years I will be able to step outside my house and see a total solar eclipse.

I swear to god if Magica DeSpell escapes the dime and steals my shadow again I'm gonna be pissed.

For more eclipse videos, here's one I made before my NASA briefing about the 2017 Eclipse. This is exactly what you wanna record while walking from the subway to the NASA briefing.
