My Classicist Roots Call To Me

hi hi hi your wings of fire art is so delightful and lively to me, it's getting me back into the seties LOL so thank u for sharing!!! (i'm also v excited to see qibli... whenever he comes around :])

THANK YOU SO MUCH aa;!!

Qibli concept, as a treat <3

RAINWINGS ❀!!

very obvious bias for them on my part - we are doing design notes for now, expect countless headcannons on their culture and life etc

-generally based on large parrots and pythons! in a fantasy sense, they are covered in scales that look/act as feather plumage, able to bristle and be moved for display or emote as body language together with their frills! their face looks like a snakes, able to scent heat and taste the air with tounge flicks

-they also have larger longer 'feathering' near the base of their tail that looks like macaw tails which helps them make tight turns when flying. their bird like wings all together make them agile in short bursts, but they do terribly when it comes to distance flying

-they have an elongated front thumb, large hook claws on their wings, and their hind talons look like a bird's for their arboreal lifestyle!

Fathom 🌊

its important to me that he looks exhausted in every sketch of him/ finally i made him look eerily like turtle but enough like himself. also just have to show the scar on his palm, i cant let it beee his plot>> ueee

First of all, literally sobbing, how is your art so amazing!!!

Secondly, I was wondering if your designs are free to use? I recently finished reading the entirety Wings of Fire after so many years and I wanted to do a tribute drawing, but I didn't want to make designs for every character lol, so I wanted to see if some of your amazing designs would be up for use, with 100% credit ofc!!!

*scurries away*

thank you!! basically yes! with clear credit and tagging me (I LOVE TO SEE IT) you can<33 have fun !

my oc Citrus says hi!!

Hello! I'm popping in just to say that for the longest time I've had this feeling that I've must have seen your art before I've seen your Tumblr - and as soon as I saw Citrus I remembered why! It turns out Citrus and one of my wof ocs shared a mass attack on AF 2 seasons ago. Honestly such a stunning design like hers is really hard to forget

OMG AGGGHHH im so happy to hear that!! <33 thank you hahah it's really interesting when things like that just come back around!

and honstly that just made me so excited for artfight again this year I CANT WAIT AAAAA

older art of citrus she's sooooo sleepy !!!

Moon !! 🌙 i love her sm i cant wait to draw her and Kinkajou being wlw (forever a Moonajou truther)

She is just suuuuper sparkly bc they cant stop fawning over her polished healthy silvery scales hihihi/ the moonflowers are matching with Kinkajou and the bracelet is shared with her friends! btw in my head Moon was a normal size and chubby when she went to the academy, but i like to imagine her growing taller than winter and qibli after ehhehehe

TURTLE 🐢💚!! my favourite blorbo

you'll notice his tail and ears are very different to tsunami and my general headcannon for seawings/ i imagine the tribe has countless phenotypes for features like that, as diverse as the marine life surrounding them

him...

he gets on my nerves so you guys take him 😭 im already looking away and scheming my whiteout design ihiihihhi. like i said im prioritizing some personal art atm so sorry for slowing down a bit!

almost forgot - his pupils are supposed to look like an hourglass ehehehe

Glory ❀

loosely based her design on a peacock! in my version, her colours are slightly muted and the 'decorative' feathers and display parts of rainwings are missing on her due to sun deprevation. her frills are smaller for the same reason, but her horns suggest a natural crown.

of course she also has beads for the friends, and two extra ones for kinkajou and jambu!<33 plus you get to see her long ass rainwing thumb hehe
