A Redesign of the Royal Burdens (Patreon)
Content
You may or may not recall the first time I drew these three wayway back in 2016. I wanted to give a bit of an update to their designs since its been a long time. Same ages and personalities, slightly different coat of paint. Here's the original descriptions:
Eclipse
A very mischievous and fun-loving 17 year-old. He's generally friendly to anypony he meets, but can have more than his fair share of days when he wakes up on the wrong side of the bed. But regardless of his mood swings, he revolves around parties and can almost never be found by his lonesome. As opposed to his parents, he loves attention and always strives to be the center of it. All in all, he's by far the most outgoing out of his other siblings. "Auntie" Pinkie Pie can be to blame.
Obelisk
Obelisk, 15 years old, is a lot more like his father in the sense that he's normally quiet and enjoys being by his lonesome every now and then. Reading and practicing magic are his primary pass-times, but he also occasionally enjoys being in the company of his older brother and his father. While's he's fairly good at staying out of trouble on his own, his not-so-angelic brother has influence over him, causing him to get himself into situations that he wouldn't consider otherwise. His brother is bound to be the death of him someday.
Penumbra
Quite possibly the meanest little 8 year-old on the playground. Only the equally venomous wrath of her father can keep her in check, but not for long. Getting along with other fillies and colts is nearly unheard of, and periods of calmness and cooperation are rare. But despite the ongoing hell she puts her parents and brothers through, she loves them dearly and can't cope with being separated from them for long periods of time.
Penumbra tends to be way more "done-up" than her brothers because of her mum and dad. Sombra insists that she always dress in a manner befitting a princess, and Fluttershy just likes seeing her daughter in cutesy clothes. Penny's brothers had to endure the same wildly uncomfortable royal garb when they were younger, too. 'Tis tradition.
