Grapefruit is a fangless RainWing, after suffering from a condition called “venom rot” (overproduction of venom), she had to get them removed. It’s difficult being an outcast, even when a majority of RainWings avoid using their venom too much, but she gets by.

ok this has nothing to do with the AU, but I have to put this here if I wanna it it anywhere, bc this is the only account that this particular person isn’t following me.
Anyways one of my friends told me earlier today that they “wished shipping wasn’t such a huge part of fandom culture” and I’m just over here like Broski I fear you’ve missed the point.

Seawing head-cannon design!
they are usually very short. chubby and stream lined so they are built to swim. seawings actually can't lift their heads up very far upward because of their build. their wings are inspired by flying fish!
i gave them axolotl-like frills too instead of gills on their neck, as it just makes sense more, allowing them to breath in and out of water, but depending on hydration. :>
i kind of imagine them being low fliers with their tails dragging heavily, but swimming with them kind of like a ray?

Palouse is the middle princess of the RotWings. She has no intention on becoming queen, leaving that duty up to her two sisters (current unnamed). Instead, she hopes to become a soldier, to fight for me defend her kingdom.
the RotWings and LeafWings, despite being distantly related, aren’t on the best of terms, however, Palouse and a certain LeafWing Princess can’t help but be drawn to each other.
(Yes I stole the Sunlow storyline, sue me)

Princess Fig is the eldest niece of Queen Sycamore, daughter of Prince Ostrya, her only brother. She has two siblings, Princess Rubra and Prince Briar.
I think this is my first drawing of my LeafWing designs on here so ima talk about that a bit. Their scales can be shades spanning from reds, greens, yellows, and browns. The scales above their eyes are loosely inspired by vipers. I added more leaves to their spines and they don’t have webbing on their tails anymore (more akin to sandwing sails.
(sorry for not posting for a while, I’ve been focusing on other stuff lately, but I’ll post periodically when I have time/inspiration)

redesign of an older OC to ‘celebrate’ my return from hiatus
Echo is a NightWing living in the desert, with dreams of making it to the Rainforest Kingdom, which he always has dreams about. However, one of his wings is underdeveloped, leaving him unable to fly, making it extremely difficult for him to make his journey across the desert.

“When a dragon born to soar the skies
Hatches with golden wings and onyx eyes.
They will have to make a choice,
To fall to save their kingdom dear,
Or to watch without a single tear,
As their kingdom falls, your end draws near.”
-Duskseer, traveling NightWing prophet to Queen Owl, 50 years before modern timeline
(ignore the fact that the writing sucks, I just need something to work)

Sunspot is (unfortunately) that exact prophecy dragonet. He is treated well, but many non-noble dragons keep their distance from him. citizens are cautious when it comes to him, since there’s a chance he could be the doom of their kingdom. He is kept in the palace, and usually finds himself being incentivized to sacrifice himself for the SkyWing kingdom rather than letting it fall.

your art is so beautiful, and I’m loving your fanseries so far!!! do you have any tutorials on how you draw your dragon wings? (specifically in more dynamic poses or when they’re folded in) keep up the amazing work! :D
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tysm!! im glad your enjoying!!
I need to preface this by saying I often stumble through drawing wings so I had a bit of a harder time describing how I draw them. As well as the fact that there isnt really any wrong way to draw wings given how much variation you can given them in fantasy. Still though I hope I can offer some tips
Biggest tip is to get the arm down. pretty much any flying animal has this arm of sorts. I find laying down the shape of it really helps shape the rest of the wing. I added the most basic 3 lines I use in the step by step. (Sometimes I use my own hand to imagine where the "fingers" of the wing go, cause you cant always find that just right reference with birds or bats. Imagine if you taped long straws to your fingers then draped a blanket across your shoulders.)
Tumblr media
2nd tip is with folded wings. Often if your characters wings are folded in they arent the focus of the piece, so dont put too much detail in those folded wings. Draw em and leave em. Its super easy to wanna put detail everywhere but sometimes less is better. But of course you can always add detail and my biggest tip if you wanna add detail is remember the folds. a closed wing will often have a scrunched up look.
And of course my final tip is reference and practice. Reference wise id suggest birds, bats, and pterosaurs (as much as you can from an extinct creature lol) There is also plenty of dragon wing tutorials out there that get more specific.
Your also free to trace over my work for practice as long as its not posted publicly, tho I highly recommend not just doing that. Its important to experiment and find your own style n' method. its also a bit better to understand what your drawing more than just knowing muscle memory movements (ex. understanding how the arm of a wing works can help you to need less references as youd know how to postion the webbing, folds, fingers, etc) Tracing wise your most helpful resource is bats.
Apologies if i was all over the place but hope this helps some!

I don’t really post my non-dragon drawings on this blog, but I love Queen Calypso so much that I had to draw her as a human. I’m not the best at drawing older characters, but I imagine her to be somewhere in her mid thirties
Idk why I made SilkWings more Greek inspired (It’s probably the mythology hyperfixation) but I like it

Calypso loves her dragonets, but they are also very curious, and she is very tired of answering why the sky is blue

chat help me I’m sinking into the Epic the Musical trenches but I can’t post about it on my main blog bc my friend DESPISES Epic so idk where else to put my obsession and idk if I can handle another blog.
I can’t keep making blogs for every little hyperfixation I have IT’S NOT SUSTAINABLE
I love my friend but any time I like something they hate I cannot mention it around them it WILL send them into a rant on why it’s objectively horrible and I’m not dealing with that today

Queen Calypso is silent, benevolent, and kind, treating every one of her subjects with respect. Oftentimes, in council meetings with the other queens, she finds herself to be the leader of conversations.
However, no dragon is without her oddities. A fact only known to her family and a select few, is that she has a hobby of pinning butterfly wings, and may or may not have a few contracts with particularly pretty dragons stating that she may preserve their wings after death. It’s not harming anyone, but she would prefer for it not to get out.
Oftentimes she can be mistaken for a LeafWing from a distance, she doesn’t know how to feel. She does think LeafWings are rather beautiful though and may try to preserve ones wing in the future
(I am so glad that their is a butterfly named Calypso. I love Greek mythology sm if anyone knows any other animals or plants or things that a dragon can be named, that are named after figures in Greek myths I would love to know)

I have decided to take over the lore of Pantala after Ferret’s leaving, purely because I love lore.
I will not yet get into details but I will be naming the queens of each tribe(there is one fantribe here and BeetleWings remain alive)
SilkWings - Queen Calypso, married to King Dispar
HiveWings - King Amegilla, married to [yet to be named]
LeafWings - Queen Sycamore
BeetleWings - Queen Agapanthia
RotWings - Queen Aminita
RotWings are a subspecies of LeafWings that specialize in fungus. Despite their name, they’re actually rather delightful
Also King Amegilla is trans btw, you can be ‘queen’ as long as you’re biologically female in HiveWing society
I’ll draw them later, expect lore.
