Description I was mucking around thinking about the idea of Vegeta having a solar eclipse. With both the suns and the moon being aligned and creating a severe temperature drop on the planet.

Also a trance to practice backgrounds. Behold the Royal Garden using Roman, Moroccan and Navajo influences. It came out okay really.

Edit: After reading one of the children's books on the Lunar Calendar at work, I remember there are thirteen moons in a year. Or 1300 Earth Moons in one Vegetan cycle. It would be six days seven hours and around thiry six or seven minutes long. I know I'm the only one who cares.

OMFG! ('F' for 'Flippin' ) I just fangirled all over your Raditz and child one-shot and now I've stumbled upon this and am spilling my aww's and d'awws all over the place. Again. This is a-frickin-mazing. That background is beautiful, blew me away and is very believable, I think, fitting in with the spartan yet appropriately decorated Saiyan throneroom/grounds/space/area/whatever. I found that scientific stuff very interesting, actually. What is your source for the Saiyan cycle? Is there a chart somewhere, on a site that has miraculously evaded my iStalk app'? (known to most as Google)

SNOW. Oh my word, never have I been so impressed by a snowflake, lol. Your snow/blizzard layer has been added to great effect; not too clumpy nor too wispy that it resembles a splotch of spraycan tool from MS Paint, lol (not that they're bad). Again, you've mastered empathy through facial expression. It isn't easily done. There are some impressive artworks out there, but even with the biology and scenery on lock, a lot of them don't quite capture emotions the same way you have. I see you take your Vitamin A+ pills every day Very noice.

I'm glad you like it. I used some Roman, Turkish and Dineh influence for the garden. I imagine the Saiyans as a desert people not too keen on the arts but I can't imagine they wouldn't have any.

Unfortunately my information is really off. It was taken from the Ocean dub then multiplied by thirteen. There are thirteen moons in a year.

Snow can be tricky, you need to space well and size well too.

This is such an interesting concept! I've always secretly wondered about solar eclipses on planet Vegeta. I've always seen it as an instinctual mating season type thing... But, I never thought about weather! That's clever.

The thing is Vegetan lunar cycles are SO MUCH SLOWER than Earths. 1300 times slower than Earth's. Most saiyans would never see a full moon on the homeworld. An eclipse would be a truly a celestial event and wouldn't be a short one like on Earth.
