Moonlight Rabbit Bestiary Entry

The Moonlight Rabbit is native to Northern Keihatsu territories and shares no counterpart to the Sunlight variant, as their fur can only be seen under the reflected light of the moon. During this time, the Shadow Owls relentlessly hunt the Moonlight Rabbits, with the success of each dependant on the moon’s phases. The bright sheen of a full moon prevents them from being attacked as it blinds the Shadow Owl, and the dark of a moonless night not enough to protect the Moonlight Rabbit from the Owl’s impeccable sight.

The Moonlight Rabbit is a rare sight to humans, however the trickster nature of younger Rabbits can lead people to stray from the safety of their homes at night with many going crazy at the game. Upon aging and gaining wisdom, a Moonlight Rabbit can be a sign of fortune and good health as they will sometimes do what has been described as “light-stepping,” in which they will temporarily solidify light particles to allow them to continuously jump. The particles turned to platforms then become dust as soon as the Rabbit loses physical contact, which then sprinkles down onto crops and on the ground. The powder lasts until morning, when the sun’s rays absorb it, but can be collected and used for medicine.

New Shadow Owl Bestiary Entry

Native to Northern Keihatsu territories, the Shadow Owl is a notorious and prolific hunter that will silently stalk both people and its prey: the Moonlight Rabbit. The Owl’s feathers are colored so darkly as to blend into the moonless, starless night that the presence of a full moon makes them significantly easier to spot against the bright light of the moon by the Moonlight Rabbit, who also rely on their hearing during times of complete dark.

To the Keihatsu, the Shadow Owl is a terrible omen, one often laden with themes of death. Their ominous “hu” means to dig a grave to the culture, and it is said that they only leave the nest after pecking out the eyes of their mothers. The Owls themselves have proven to be associated with a following disaster or tragic event for individuals whom they stalk, however the Owls become visibly restless and loud when such events approach.

New Moonlight Rabbit + Shadow Owl Duality Entry

The Moonlight Rabbit and Shadow Owl represent the powers of night within the northern Keihatsu territories, with shadows being most prevalent in the absence of the watchful moon and stars and the soft light prevailing under the eyes of the night sky. The Moonlight Rabbit brings good fortune and health to those able to harvest the powder produced by a Rabbit’s light-stepping while the Owl is heavily tied to themes of tragedy and death, often of great illness and pain.

(the Moon Rabbit and associations with the owl and death are both Chinese myths. In my head the Southern Keihatsu territories are more akin to Southeast Asia while North/West Keihatsu is like East Asia, primarily China, Japan ofc, and Korea)

Both… but I personally love the warmer tone

moonlight is usually associated with more purpleish tones, so the first one would work better imo

Here it is so far since I used my study hall period for this. Meteors or no?

I say yes to meteors. Also how is the studying going, ig?

I did no such thing during that period lmao

You’re quite the rebel, I see. Also, correct me if I’m wrong, study hall is basically when you do your homework at school?

correct, ye

I would have used northern lights but I like this better.

How’d you draw the meteors? Like what brush?

I just use the lightpen, hold a spot so the light expands a little, then draw a straight diagonal

Ohhh well shoot I forgot about that :sweat_smile:

lol, I’m in luminance all the time when I’m drawing

Yeah I have definitely noticed lol

I mainly use script and a custom brush to just color large areas. When I do use luminance, definitely light pen.

I’m too small-brain to ever make a custom brush lmao

also more bunnie

There’s a good chance I move the moon, feel free to recommend stuff with that

also ye, ik the stars/meteors shouldn’t be in the dark, but aesthetically it looks nice
