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!
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!
Heyyyy I was lookin through your art and got all inspired, there’s an awesome vibe in your art :3 like idk how to explain the vibe but there’s definitely a vibe it’s very cute :> that’s all <3 love your art ✨queen✨
thank you so so so much everyone for being so kind :'3 im kind of in an episode of reworking my art and my 'brand' and stuff like this calms me<33
here's a little sneak peak of Scarlet for you!
Saw your art recently and wanted to say I adore your use of color and shape language - your designs are SO satisfying to look at! Love what you do!
THANK YOU SM aaaaaa!!! art is like the most important thing to me so this makes me limitlesly happy to hear<3
✰Tsunami rahhh
i struggled so much with the pose but ofc in the end she's ready to fight, she also had beads in her pearls to represent her friends :>
Winterrr
this was such a struggle, i am not an icewing visionary,, but here he is. he has twin braids around his face and eyeliner bc he's a pretty little princess and super annoying.
tommorrow is peril!!
hello :> may I ask hoe you draw 3/4 perspective on the face? it's okay if you don't wanna answer since I know you just got an ask like that.
back to your questions! <3 sorry for waiting a bit i like doing these in batches :,3
basically i just use two shapes for the head and one generally where the snout is, try out a lot of poses by placing the snout very high up etc!
my advice is rather the same as with the other one, have fun bc its your art and find inspo in real animals! dont be scared to find shortcuts either. here are two examples i threw together, one is freehanded feat. Sunny! the other is actually using a ref with Winter (he's already based on arctic foxes!)
How do you draw your heads and bodies? I've been struggling with side views rn and yours look very noice :,) Also how do you do open mouths and eye placement? Sorry if I'm ranting, I'm just very curious :D
asks marathon again! i wasn't really sure what to say here other than to look for inspo from animals you like! dragons are fantasy creatures and if you're like me you'd enjoy giving them big cat anatomy for example! or bird wings over bat wings etc... look for your refs from real life to make your own fluffy dragons <33
here's a little shape break down tho! lots of curved squares = big catt
Let me guide you

Please don’t let this flop I’m so proud of this drawing
Just wanted to let you know that your bio is practically unreadable, the colors of the text and background are so similar that you can barely see them :,)
hii, didn't get around to that yet honestly bu thanks for pointing out im gonna fix it! don't want it to cause discomfort :,)
I saw your Starflight design (which is beautiful btw, I love how you do patterns) and it reminded me of my Clearsight design I did for a Two Birds MAP (multi-animator-project) a couple years ago. I was wondering it was an inspiration or if the designs similarities are pure coincidence?
This isn't an accusations or anything, im just curious if my MAP had that sort of effect on the community, and hope this isn't tacky to ask you.
HII !! honestly im really flattered my work got to you bc i have BEEN a fan of this map yes <3
your work def inspired me to work 'outside the box' in this fandom<3 i have to say the facial markings was a lucky coincidence this time! i want to make the nightwings in general look like barn owls :,0
though now that it's pointed out im seeing more and more similarities SORRY ABOUT THAT aghhh,,
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!
