OCs: The Adventures of Teddy and Mara: Celeste

A quick drawing of Celeste's Guardian form for OC-tober in 2024. Star represents the entire galaxy, and stars guardian form thus dwarfs every other Guardian that exists. From our perspective star has limbs inspired by animals, but from the perspective of the characters in the world the animals that exist were based on Celeste's incomprehensible form broken down into parts that can be recognized and loved. Celeste brings worlds to life for fun then destroys them when star gets bored, including a magical version of ours that my story is set in. Most people don't know Celeste exists. The animal parts in Celeste's Guardian form are: a lamb's ear, a wolf's ear, a deer's antlers, a rabbit's foot, a squid's tentacle, a lobster's claw, a bird's talon, a mole's claws, an insect's leg, a goat's hoof, and a human torso and arm. The torso has both breasts and pectorals, meant to emulate both masculine and feminine forms at the same time. Celeste also has a black hole looking halo that I'm always proud of whenever I render it properly. This is not one of those times, but I don't hate it either. I basically use this as a reference image.
