Moon Child

late night concept doodling~

soooo remember that Princess Luna nextgen i mentioned a while back? Still working on the design, but I think i'm getting close. This is Artemis, the humorless and enigmatic apple of Luna's eye...or "Grumpy Grumpy No-Fun McFeatherbutt" as Pandora calls dear ol' Arte

unlike my other characters, Artemis does not have a defined gender. Artemis is referred to as "they", rather than "he" or "she".

if you guessed Artemis has got a bit of griffon blood in them, you'd be right. Rumors of their conception tend to involve an illegimate liason between Princess Luna and a rather owlish hippogriff fellow...Princess Luna has neither confirmed nor denied these rumors

Artemis' hobbies include frowning at ponies disapprovingly, firing arrows at things for target practice, spending too much time locked away in drafty castle quarters buried in dusty old books, and exchanging letters with the closest thing they have resembling a friend, Princess Skyla.
