More WoF dragons: NightWing edition this time 🌕🌕🌕

Call it my warrior cat artist instincts lmao but I wanted to try to give em markings that might have aided in naming them (bones for Deathbringer, stars for Starflight, crescents for Moon, etc)

I've been rereading WoF bc I heard a new book was coming out, and I wanted to doodle some guys! Here are some RainWings to start 🌧️

Glory is my favorite from the first arc (probably unsurprising, given my warrior cats faves), and I adore Jambu and Kinkajou as well :) As for designs, I like to lean into the snakiness of the RainWings. They're adjacent to the spiral dragons from FR in my brain

I never posted these, whoops! I was featured in another Truegreen7 Fakemon video a couple months back! This time, he designed two fakemon and challenged his subscribers to design their alternate forms. My Fiendire didn't make the cut, but my Ladderinth placed 19th!

-

Fiendire, the Impish PKMN Poison -Dex: Deceptively skittish and sweet-looking, Fiendire's Innocent Forme is seen as back luck. It may look cute now, but once it gets its hooves on a Thornbriar flower, it shifts into its Corrupt Forme and sows mischief wherever it flies.

-

Ladderinth, the Sentinel PKMN Ground / Psychic -Dex: In Ancient times, once a Ladderinth completed extensive training, it would be given a Temple Rune to hold. This relic allowed it to assume its Guardian Forme. It would then act as a sentry for its city, stirring only when called upon.

I am so sure this has been done before BUT! My take on Scourge in Théophile Steinlen's "Le Chat Noir" poster (as well as a version in my usual rendering style)

Omg I would Love to know more about Witch Hazel and her story if possible! What little you’ve posted so far is extremely intriguing 👀

Tysm for your interest! Hazel is def the favorite child (don't tell the rest of my ocs lmao)

I don't have all of her lore written down neatly to read, but your ask inspired me to clean up her TH with a general summary :) You can also poke around her links + the other characters in this folder for more info. Some of it miiight be outdated but you can ask more questions if anything doesn't make sense

Tldr Hazel was once a warriors oc who has since diverged into her own lil adjacent universe. The cats in her world can do dnd-esque magic, but her og colony is super anti-magic. She witnesses a coup and flees to a more accepting neighboring colony where she adopts a found family and finally gets in touch with her magical abilities. She also realizes that unfortunately, the bad stuff back home doesn't stop just because she ran away. However, unlike before, she might just be able to do something about it now

This whole story is mostly just me playing with my toys, so I prob won't ever have it fully fleshed out (or fill in any glaring plotholes lmaooo) BUT I will def share more about my guys and I welcome any more questions :3

I was featured in Truegreen7's latest video! He designed two unevolved fakemon and challenged his subscribers to design evolved forms for them. My Eelusion here placed 9th out of 50!

Eelusion, the Mimic Fish PKMN Water / Dragon - Dex: Eelusions' pre-evolution Bettanswish mimicked it for protection from predators. Once it evolved, so did its mimicry. Eelusion's tail now mimics Bettanswish instead, acting as a lure for its former predators.

Took a stab at interpreting one of the scrapped Teraleak concepts!

Zyzapse, the Neuron PKMN Electric / Psychic - Dex 1: It comes from the same alien world as Xurkitree. The two have a symbiotic relationship: Zyzapse uses the limbs of gargantuan Xurkitree to get around, loosing electricity for the latter to absorb. - Dex 2: It is an Ultra Beast found at the Ultra Plant. When packs of Zyzapse gather, their intelligence and perception are vastly heightened, compared to solo individuals.
