* ''[[Bleach]]'': For no apparent reason, the moon shows up as a very unlikely crescent. |
|||
* ''[[Soul Eater]]'' has a crescent moon with a maniacally grinning face and hooked nose. It also has an Artsy ''Sun''. {{spoiler|It turns out the moon isn't just drawn that way, ''that's literally how it's shaped.'' It's not even an object orbiting the planet outside the atmosphere, it's just floating above the Earth in the clouds.}} |
|||
* In ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' a third of the Moon has blown up into a giant [[Asteroid Thicket]] ring around the Earth, essentially leaving it as physically crescent. |
|||
* ''[[Gankutsuou]]'': Somewhat justified by the fact that it is colonized, thus having its surface altered, the moon sports a creepy skull-like face. |
|||
* In ''[[Shuna's Journey]]'', the moon is flat, looking more like an alien spaceship than a moon. It sets to the west, where instead of going beneath the horizon, it lands and deposits resources in an ominous [[Eldritch Abomination]]. |
|||
* In ''[[The Tale of the Princess Kaguya]]'', The "artsy" part of "Artsy Moon" comes from size. In some shots of the film, notably the last one before the credits, the Moon takes up over half of the screen. The shot is made more weird by the lack of saturation when compared to the rest of the film, and the moon feels more "artsy" due to the film's rough and simplistic art style. |

* ''[[Majoras Mask]]''{{context}} |

* The moon of Remnant in ''[[RWBY]]'' is shattered into a dozen or more pieces. {{spoiler|In volume 6 we learn that it was broken by one of the two gods who had created Remnant while making a Dramatic Exit after nuking the entire planet in response to Salem raising a human rebellion against them.}} |

== [[Web Comics]] == |

* ''[[Our Little Adventure]]'': The moon has a face. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] by the fact that it's actually a moon ''goddess''. |

== [[Western Animation]] == |
|||
* ''[[Coraline (animation)|Coraline]]'': Towards the end of the movie, the other world's moon starts slowly being eclipsed by a button-shaped shadow. |
|||
* One [[Casper the Friendly Ghost]] cartoon has Casper decide to visit the Man in the Moon. Being a ghost, he has no trouble flying to the Moon, but as he gets closer, the smiling cartoon face on the moon slowly fades into just being a bleak pattern of craters, and he arrives bitterly disappointed. Fortunately, the place turns out to be inhabited by little [[Lilliputians|Lilliputian]] guys, so he makes some friends after all. |

Revision as of 01:57, 30 November 2023
 | This page needs some cleaning up to be presentable. We are currently merging Artsy Moon and Weird Moon on the grounds that they are the same trope. This work will be completed over the next couple of days. |
The Moon is shown in a bizarre or altered way - either because of actual physical changes, or simple Artistic License. Subtrope of Weird Moon, related to The Man in the Moon, Deface of the Moon and Bad Moon Rising.
If the moon is different because you're looking at an Alien Sky, you're in the wrong trope. For that, go to the generic Weird Moon page. The differentiating factor here is the "Artsy" part. If the Moon is depicted in a weird way for artistic value, then it belongs here. It it's just weird, or because it's clearly not our Moon, then it doesn't belong.
Examples of Artsy Moon include:
