can you make reference angles of dragons pretty please ❤️ like the ones on pinterest when you search “head reference angles”

of course! Trying to do this lowkey made me realize i struggle with some of these angles so I might try and redo it later, but for now, take this sketch. Happy drawing!

✦ Dawnwalker ✦

An old WoF OC I redesigned today. Dawnwalker is a young male NightWing who's a character in the fan story I am very slowly working on: JMSC. More under the cut.

JMSC will get an explanation at a later-ish date, but basically it's just a story where Jade Mountain Academy is a summer camp instead (hence the 'SC' and not 'A'). He's part of the Amber Winglet (will explain the name in a later post as well). Besides that, I honestly don't have much info for you about him ToT

He has the gift of prophecy/foresight! His ability is pretty average-level, nothing fancy here.

Ok, here's something fun -- this is his old design:

Ah, 2022. Year of the Wonk. Look how yellow he is. I kind of still like this design, but I think the new one is a good improvement. For starters, he actually looks like a sunrise now. So.

If you like my art, consider following me! My motivation is admittedly spotty, but I want to work on this AU more, so you'll get to hear more about it at some point in the future!

Golden Dandelions

a winterjou drawing I did that may or may not be a reference to a dance scene from pride and prejudice. Kinkajou is wearing a Costa Rican style traditional dress and Winter is wearing a Swedish Nationelle dräkten! They’re also wearing jewelry of eachothers cultures <3

kinkajou has a dalla horse too

better to be lost than loved

(alt ver. + me yapping under cut)

i have VERY complex thoughts about peril and kestrel and their relationship, especially related to the dod. kestrel is actually such a complex character i love when bitches are morally grey and selfish and make bad choices and hurt people. anyways i imagine peril probably has some really confusing feelings around the fact that kestrel was forced to leave her with scarlet but then went and abused a whole bunch of other dragonets their whole childhoods BECAUSE of losing her. like. the gutwrenching combo of guilt (because its technically her fault kwstrel hated the dod) and jealousy (why did THEY get to be raised by her mom and not her, why was she stuck being a weapon for scarlet while they had a family) and then more guilt (how dare she be jealous of them, they had a terrible childhood, why would you be jealous of someone who was abused thats messed up, especially since it was your fault) and hate (kestrel abandoned her [even if she couldn’t help it], killed her brother as far as she’s aware, made her very first friends’ lives a living hell, and got her only childhood teacher and support [osprey] killed for defending kestrel from scarlet). ANYWAYS. yeah. kestrel i assume also has similarly mixed feelings but at the very least she loves peril and peril can’t even be sure of that.

also first time drawing my kestrel design!!! i based it more off of european and common kestrels than american kestrwls like ik a lot of people do. she also has the same horn and spine colours as my peril, and markings around her wingclaws /the edges of her wings (which u cant see here) that are inverted from perils explodey markings bc i wanted to have some distinct familial traits in them. she also has a bigger schnozz-horn than most of the skywings i draw bc i wanted to give her an interesting trait not based in her name or her relation to peril. also i find it rlly funny that she’s described as being rlly big and taller than scarlet when kestrels are one of the smallest birds of prey (altho i do imagine scarlet as being diminutive for a skywing, in canon she is big and kestrwls just even bigger).

alt ver w/ peril coloured that i dont like as much,,, i rlly wanted kestrel to be the main focus here + for peril to look very clearly strange and alien (bc firescales and also they never knew e/o) and i think the pure orange peril does that better here.

You said sandwings were your favorite, so would you be willing to do Queen Thorn?

of course! I'm aware this design takes some explaining to do, but trust me... this IS Queen Thorn.

I think of all the times I've made a post that starts with 'this might be the time I take too much liberty,' THIS really takes the cake.

Thinking about Thorn as a character, I really wanted to bring out her more scorpion-den side, even if the redesign is set after she becomes queen. I feel that Thorn's most admirable quality as a ruler is her strong sense of identity and belonging among the citizens of the sandwing kingdom, and thought it unreasonable that she would make any real effort to dress/appear different after becoming queen (even if it caused a little uproar among sandwing nobles.)

Because of this, I decided to incorporate a lot of punk design aspects (for any new readers, my last post is about the scorpion den being punk.) She has a lot of spikes sewn/fastened directly to her under scales, as well as a little vest and tail bracelet with the outclaw patch sewn in. I wanted to give her some kind of royal-leaning attire without losing the vibe, so I added these leather-ish, chain-ish back piece meant to resemble a cape. Kind of. Onto her scales: Thorn's design is very on the nose: with thorn patterns (based on the name) and swirl patterns (reminded me of sand.) Finally, her frills are dyed! I imagine Thorn probably uses a blend of papaya or prickly pear cactus to get the job done, but the ends fade with time. That kind of makes me wonder if sandwing frills grow like hair..

As always, thank you all so much for your support and continued appreciation of this blog! If you're interested in making a request or viewing which characters are on the redesign waitlist, check my pinned post! I'm still working on determining my art comp prizes, but I can confidently tell you all it will probably be a redesign or draw in your style challenge!
