hiii im back everyone! im working on Glory rn so i promise art is on the way, i just have commissions and personal stuff happening so i tend to take longer breaks
here's bonus rainwing content from my sketchbook where i brainstorm this stuff🩷
KINKAJOU 🌺 FINALLYYY my beloved
if they are a girl in a fictional story i like i will say it's a lesbian no matter what, sorry. so yea MOONAJOU SOON. she's got jackfruit!! and a million of those friendship bracelets she loves to make and give<3 im just really happy with her colours this time aaaa
i think next up will be legends darkstalker protags!
Starflight ✦
a little scruffy like a scardycat, but considered pretty and fit looking for a nightwing of his era. Starflight was hatched on the brightest night hidden from moonlight, so in my design, while they are visible- his stars, tears and the moons on his wings do not glow like on other nightwings, but are darker!
as a librarian he wears a moonstone chain with beads for each of his friends and always has a wooden tablet as his scroll on hand. i imagine he would wear some kind of wrapping to protect his eyes to light sensitivity post injury, but he doesnt need it all the time.
im not sure how long it's gonna take me to make them digital and post them but i have all my tribe headcannons already planned out in my sketchbook. but for now im gonna try to do more protags!
What brush do you use, oh wonderful artist?
AWWW thank you ahaha,,, <3
okey so i've been using FireAlpaca since forever and most of my brushes are default OR from the Bitman brush store and slightly edited here and there! :,> im also a little silly so i named them stupid names like desserts so im NOT SURE what the og names are, but one is like a canvas brush (my thick lineart style) and the other is like a sketch pen i think (my thin line style)
this is part 2 of my WoF dnd au, with another visualizer. the next part might take longer to make.
The Silkwing Citadel. Unlike the Hivewings and Leafwings, the Silkwing Citadel is less of a palace and more a center for the Silkwing community. The bottom of the structure is two silk-made towers open to any dragon, supported by bridges made of stretchy, more flexible silk. The top of the structure is a greenhouse split with another silk tower called The Spire, which houses the Silkwing royal family.
The Glass Market: This market is open to all Silkwings to buy and sell from each other. Anything and everything is sold here, but by far, the most commonly sold items are made of silk. Tapestries, clothing, silk jewelry, art pieces, custom statues, construction services, and so on. The stalls in the market change each day, so it is constantly packed with customers from sunrise to sunset. The market gets its name from the colored glass that hangs from the ceiling, suspended by thick threads of silk. Light pours through the windows to create patchwork rainbows that change throughout the day.
The Spinner Conservatory: This area of the Citadel is dedicated to teaching Silkwings how to use their silk. The main audience is dragonets after they've emerged from their cocoons, but dragons of all ages are encouraged to visit. There are dozens of classes, including web working, tapestry weaving, construction building, and many more. The teachers are mainly volunteers, but students are encouraged to donate food and trinkets for their work.
The Silkwing Hatchery: This public hatchery provides a safe, warm, and dry space for any Silkwing to hatch their eggs. The nests are first come, first serve, and are constantly guarded to ensure no egg goes missing.
The Chrysalis: An area in the Citadel dedicated to cocooning. Like the hatchery, this area is first come, first serve, with many branches and perches for dragonets to hang while they cocoon. This area is also heavily gaurded, with extra guards providing safe care for any flamesilks that may cocoon there.
The Western & Eastern Pavillion: Many dragons might think that Silkwings are limited to just silk as their construction material options, but this is not true. For instance, flamesilk (if accurately made) can be used to solder glass. This is how the glass ceiling for the Citadel's pavilions was made. Both contain colored, geometric glass, allowing sunlight to naturally filter through. The Western Pavilion is an open greenhouse filled with decorative and fruit-filled plants. Benches and paved paths line the pavilion for recreation activities. The Eastern Pavillion is much more open, with trees and flowering bushes lining the interior perimeter, while the center remains clear and open for parties, celebrations, and meetings with Leafwing diplomats.
The Spire: Finally, this is where the queen resides, accompanied by her immediate family. The Spire is redecorated whenever a new queen is crowned, usually adorned with fresh tapestries, rugs, and furniture. The current queen, Queen Alexandria, has The Spire beautifully decorated to match her appearance, filling its chambers with dark and malachite green tapestries and paintings, many of which reflect her image.
Is it alright for others to use your headcanons to draw rainwing ocs? I adore the way yours look i wanna draw my ocs with these headcanons! <3
yes!! that makes me very happy and i love that people are getting inspired bc I LOVE ART AND ARTISTS <33it'd be nice if you credit or tag me somehow if you plan to use a lot of inspiration but also just bc i wanna see what you make!! :33
today i'm dropping in my current dragon self sona (still tweaking her and deciding!) - here's Amourous the rainwing!
I LOVE your desings!!! They are so full of personality! But i was wondering, you're the first artist that i know that draws the silver teardrop scales in front of the eyes, and i'd like to know why. Like you think its cooler or you didnt even notice you were doing that? Your moonwatcher is so pretty! Love your art!
THANK YOU SM!! it's just to spice it up a bit for Moon so she can feel a little different basically<3 in my head every readers' tear scales are a little unique and personal to them! kind of like moles?
this is old, but my Darkstalker from 2023 i think (im gonna update the design a little) had two of them for example!
hii guys little update. art is gonna have to slow down because a wrist injury i got months ago flared up again for me :,) i feel really demotivated bc i live for art but now i have to stop and wait for it to leave.
in the mean time, i revamped my carrd website!! im really proud of it so far, please give it a little look <33
i adore this concept <3
A Rainwing puppeteer! Their invisibility pretty much makes them perfect for practicals effect and costumes, so I wanted to experiment with that idea a bit! Just in time for halloween too.
Seawing head-cannon design!
they are usually very short. chubby and stream lined so they are built to swim. seawings actually can't lift their heads up very far upward because of their build. their wings are inspired by flying fish!
i gave them axolotl-like frills too instead of gills on their neck, as it just makes sense more, allowing them to breath in and out of water, but depending on hydration. :>
i kind of imagine them being low fliers with their tails dragging heavily, but swimming with them kind of like a ray?
she/her mostly sharing fandom and personal art on here! find me elsewhere https://bitingrose.carrd.co/ feel free to dm me, just please be clear right off the bat what you're looking for!
