  A version with the Enlightenment Era constellations named by Nicholas-Louis de Lacaille Their uniqueness comes from the fact that instead of myths, their namesakes are various scientific and artistic tools created during the era, all except one! The outlier in the group is Mensa, whose name is based on Table Mountain (Mons Mensae) in the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, where Lacaille set up his observatory The mountain itself is named that because it has a flat top. Because it is also in close proximity to mountains Devil's Peak and Lion's Head, I imagine she has a pretty metal house... I drew all of these in the same game ●_● Horologium looks too soft in that lol She has quite a few pendulums and arrows on her because of the constellation representing a pendulum clock I made Norma's hair quite straight because the constellation represents a carpenter's square, or a ruler Telescopium's flared sleeves are supposed to resemble a telescope's body, and his armban...

  The wheel of zodiacs (^□^) This was very experimental at the time Some of them might already look familiar ;D It was a bit difficult thinking of how Capricornus should look, but i ended up combining fishlike traits (like the back of her hair) and goatlike traits (like the horn-like bang extensions) to stay loyal to the constellation's namesake, the seagoat Her pauldrons are so that Virgo has a fellow pauldron'd friend (•o•) I wanted to make Gemini a pair of actual twins, so i did and named them Castor and Pollux like the myth that the constellation symbolizes! Castor is the mortal looking one and Pollux is the spirit looking one, and both form Gemini in its entirety despite Castor mainly being the one to represent Gemini Because Pollux (beta geminorum) outshines Castor (alpha geminorum) in real life, i can see Pollux being the more sociable of the two ^_^ I drew this in a roblox game (" ^_^) Libra wears a blindfold since i like justice-themed characters who are have thei...

 

The constellation of Pyxis is located close to the stars that formed Argo Navis (which is now divided between Carina, Puppis, and Vela) and at one point was even referred to as the mast of the ship, so I think she would have a pretty interesting relationship with the Navis trio And I did make her pretty tall compared to Vela haha, Vela is actually slightly taller than Carina (who is the shortest overall bcuz the real life constellation is the smallest of the former Argos, area-wise), but Puppis is taller than Vela :D Constellation area will not always equal heights (^□^)  

  Zeta Reticuli is a binary star system in Reticulum, which is often associated with UFO theories due to its status as the alleged "home" of the famous gray aliens in various media I just find it a bit funny that one of the lesser known constellations seem to have a conspiracy theory attached to it, haha
