Description: First of all, I guess I have to explain the silly joke I made in the illustration: Neptune is the smallest between the big gas giants in our system. It's one dense giant. *ba-dum tshhh* *silence* Well, it's a blessing that I choose illustration instead of stand-up comedy. He's also the smallest of the Ice Giants, just like Loki! Also, it rains solid diamonds there! One of the nicest thing about the god Neptune name is that most languages has a water or sea god, so the name changes but the essence is the same: in Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese and Korean is something like "sea king star", in Mongolian, Neptune is called Dalain van, In modern Greek is Poseidon, in Māori is Tangaroa.
