Part 6 of the Linked Universe Winged Au! After many requests this time around we've got our Veteran, Legend!

<<< Previous Next >>>

As always we have to start off with a bird fact, so did you know that male White-Winged Crossbills have unpigmented barbules that mask their red color and are what make them appear pink in the fall? However, as these barbules wear off, the bright red is able to show through leaving them a brilliant red in the spring and summer!

Anyways, I found this fact to be very interesting especially considering Legend's adventure throughout Oracle of Seasons. Just the mental image of his plumage slightly shifting with the constant changing of the seasons was very funny to me and I couldn't NOT make it canon. Plus, I enjoy making his life more difficult than it already is because I also headcanon that when he was younger, his wings were constantly stuck in a half molted state because white-winged crossbills usually molt in the fall. In other words, turns out messing around with seasons and time has consequences so he was a very scruffy, fluffy looking kid growing up.

As for how he looks and acts now, he has many similar characteristics and behaviors of a White-Winged Crossbill. For example, he is a very strong flier, and his unique way of flying has given him a very aggressive and abrupt fighting style both on the ground and in the air. His style of fighting is especially effective in forests with a lot of trees because it allows him to dart between foliage and foes alike.

While his flight and fighting styles were influenced by the sheer number of quests he has gone on as well as his young age when he began, other characteristics and behaviors of his were also influenced as well. For example, when he was still just a kid thrown into his first adventure where just about everything in the world was bigger than him, he learned to bristle and fluff his feathers to appear bigger and more threatening to enemies. While somewhat effective at the time, nowadays it means he still has the unconscious habit of doing it whenever he is irritated or embarrassed.

In addition to his tendency to "poof" when upset, he also has a habit of picking at and pulling out his own feathers when especially stressed. He picked up this habit mainly because of his constant molting as a child but then continued it as he was went on more and more adventures. Doing it is second nature to him now, but it's a bad habit he's actively trying to break by fiddling with his rings instead. It's also part of why he's so insistent about preening the others because helping them quite literally stops him from pulling out his own feathers.

Anyways! I could go on, but that's all for now folks! Thank you again for all your support and kind messages! I really treasure them and they are always the highlight of my day! As always, feel free to let me know who or what you would like to see next! Thank you all again!

I stared at so many dung beetle photos oh my lordy.... I now very well know what scarab beetles look like

[jemichiart]

Guess I always need something feathered in my life or I won’t survive.

Woa

[artofloof]

this was my first time trying to draw rain. I still have some stuff to learn but I'm happy with how it came out :)

I was pretty sure I'd never draw Sol again but I dunno I'm starting to get attached. maybe you'll see more of him

Here's Prehnite the Gemwing! Gemwings belong to the wonderful @snaill-dragon

I loved designing her, although I did struggle with the legs a lot and I couldn't draw them like they should be. If you have time, look up the wikipedia image for Prehnite, it's such a pretty stone.

I originally queued that "practice surgery" bill with the intent for Vasso to gain some medical experience, but I really like the idea of Bella becoming Doctor Darlington-Whit, so perhaps she will see more surgery in the near future.

Yay Magic Man!!!!!! I love him so much I am going to get so sick of drawing his wings he is so cool and badass

Magic Man, as my colonist with the highest melee ability (level 9), gets the honour of having a magic sword judge his every action until the end of time <3

M.M. is the best colonist, sorry everyone. I don't make the rules.

Unfortunately, we only managed to snag one of the bionic thrumbos (his name is Poison). His lady friend wandered off the map before M.M. could reach her.

Tenech... Be oylgono ugyb, oynon, why will you not care for yourself? The world will not fall apart if you take a nap, but your work will be even worse.

Listen, I'm not saying that the concept of Artemy finding him passed out in various places around the Town and then has to carry him home or at least into a bush or something isn't both endearing and funny to me and has been on my mind for a few days, but tonight I watched the first two Matrix films and put this in my sketchbook for no reason on this goddamn earth

(i hate colouring things so we'll see if that ever gets done, but tbh i kinda like the way it looks right now)

details etc:

I couldn't resist the urge to draw Nova and Neon J from @lazypastry 's Vampire AU again. Those two's relationship towards each other and their roles in that AU are just so interesting.
