Description
A near-eclipse on the dwarf planet Eris. I'm not sure if its moon is round or not; I've seen artist's impressions of both round and non-round versions.Dunno if the sky is purplish or not; but this is more of how I imagine Eris is than what it is really like.
That isn't water on the surface; it's ice.

Dysnomia is almost certainly irregular. But based on the apparent size of the object in the sky, it might make sense to interpret this as being Eris from Dysnomia. Nice to see an Eridian landscape, in any case.

I've known for a while that Dysnomia is irregular... this pic was made years ago back when I wasn't sure. XD I'm honestly flattered that you like this image, considering how amazingly old it is. X3

The purple worked great for this one. I figured if your interpretation of Pluto wasn't going to look purple, your version of Eris would. The reflections on the ice were a nice touch, too.
Good work!
