The Leo Trio

Explanation: This popular group leaps into the early evening sky around the March equinox and the northern hemisphere spring. Famous as the Leo Triplet, the three magnificent galaxies found in the prominent constellation Leo gather here in one astronomical field of view. Crowd pleasers when imaged with even modest telescopes, they can be introduced individually as NGC 3628 (left), M66 (bottom right), and M65 (top). All three are large spiral galaxies but tend to look dissimilar, because their galactic disks are tilted at different angles to our line of sight. NGC 3628, also known as the Hamburger Galaxy, is temptingly seen edge-on, with obscuring dust lanes cutting across its puffy galactic plane. The disks of M66 and M65 are both inclined enough to show off their spiral structure. Gravitational interactions between galaxies in the group have left telltale signs, including the tidal tails and warped, inflated disk of NGC 3628 and the drawn out spiral arms of M66. This gorgeous view of the region spans over 1 degree (two full moons) on the sky in a frame that covers over half a million light-years at the trio's estimated distance of 30 million light-years.

[ginnyluna]

The lost trio, ready to slay (not me being obsessed with them again)

I thought i'd post the sketches while i keep working on the finished versions

Update: Jason's finished version

[gejnialnie]

hi I don't think this duo gets enough love, so here are my fave screenshots of Raph and Leo mirroring each other! :D

+bonus:

look at this frame! don't their poses look similar, even though they're in totally different places?? well, there's a simple reason for it! we can see raph in the driver seat, his left hand on the wheel, while the other one's searching for someting, it's symbolising his active role as leader, while leo stands alongside him, his left hand on a handhold while he gestures with the other, showing him being less active and more of a passive presence, but he's ready on his feet, it's symbolising his potential as raph's co-leader but also him not yet being ready, still gripping the safety rails instead of the driving wheel-

(nah i'm kidding- like, was it just artists drawing similar poses in one scene? oh yeah most definitively! will that stop me from over-analysing? nope! :D this basically wrote itself!)

Jason: You can't make everyone like you. You're not Leo or Piper

Percy: What? Not everyone likes Leo and Piper.

Jason: Who doesn't?

Percy: Well...

Jason: Names. Now. Give me their names

[beebopurr]

Gumbus grouppppp.... Mikey got scared playing a roblox horror game.. they are helping

[spooked-bees]

[shoecrabs]

now that I'm somewhat free to draw, here's doodle/wip as a start to forcing myself into drawing more complex stuff :)

(watch me never touch this again)

I have no clue where they are, what light is, nor what Jason's legs are doing, but it looks nice so I'm mostly happy with it :)
