Leafwing - Blog Posts
Icon of my OC, Thyme! I really need to make a fullbody design for him 🤧
Eucalyptus the leafwing for u/LG3V
I told you so (mini comic)
Little mini comic inspired by @Minkydinks 's (tumblr) headcannon that leafwings grow plants on scales, I thought it would be fun to turn it into a mini comic!
just some leafy Bois :>
Dragons of Pantala (headcanon designs)
• Silkwings:
-Inherited from nightwings genes of fur on the chest and in their case they only progressed, thanks to which the wool is distributed throughout the abdomen, neck and front legs
-In addition, the shape of the scales is more like the scales of nightwings than the beetlewings. The hind legs are also inherited from nightwings (in general, silkwings closer to the nightwings while hivewongs to the beetlewings)
-Big Eyes
-Very long tongue
-Mouth are small and round
-Short, round ears
-Teeth are not very sharp, by structure more like the teeth of herbivores than of predators (transitional form from one diet to another; such a structure also came from the merger of nightwings (predators) and beetlewings (omnivorous, but preferring to eat plants; fed only under adverse conditions))
-Blood are beige, semi-transparent
-The shape before and after Metamorphosis is significantly different. The "caterpillars" (before metamorphosis) are covered with blistering scales, some have a greenish tinge, developed a cusptry at the mouth - the mouthparts helps the dragonets to feed (after metamorphosis only small mouthparts remain, which are rather rudimentary), very small antennae on the head, almost not functioning; their role replaces temporary growths on the lower jaw, which disappear after metamorphosis. Body consists of scales, fur missing
-After metamorphosis the skin color becomes much brighter, grow long antennae with fur at the end, also appears directly, the fur itself on some parts of the body
-The shape of the wings in some individuals may be different (similar to the butterfly wings after which they were named)
-Flamesilk dragons have patterns in the form of lights on their wings and also fire colors (red, orange, yellow) all over their body. Eyes are also very bright (before the metamorphosis it is not visible, also in normal silkwings eye color changes slightly, unlike flamesilk dragons). All this is a warning to other creatures that these dragons don't have ordinary silk (it is similar to how in our world poisonous animals have bright, warning coloring)
-Growth reaches 2-2.5 meters
*The design was based on butterflies and their caterpillars
• Hivewings:
-Round tail. Despite its external fleshiness, it is almost completely hollow and not overloaded with internal organs and muscles. It contains only organs of the reproductive system and a reservoir with poison. And even though there are these organs that contribute to the flying, 2 pairs of wings and a dense front of the body all compensate for it, and they restore balance
-The tail itself is motionless, only able to descend, in order to wound the opponent with a dagger. The front part of the body is more flexible.
-Ears are long but thin
-Blood as like silkwings, beige and semi-transparent, but has a darker shade
-The gait is more developed than silkwings
-Paw structure identical to beetlewings
-Thorns on the entire spine fall long, with a sharp end
-Horns are curved, facing the opposite direction
-Whites darkened but not entirely black, has a dark shade of the color of the iris
-Also prefer to eat plants, but unlike silkwings, their teeth are very sharp. The reason is defensive functions, the presence of poison in them.
-Mouth is sharp, triangular shape
-Growth reaches 2.5-3 meters
*The design was based on bees, wasps and some other insects
• Beetlewings:
-Horns curved and parallel to the mouth
-Sharp nose, able to pierce the opponent
-The mouthparts, which due to the long nose is necessary for beetlewings so that from the mouth as little food as possible. The long tongue also helps (but it is less than the silkwing's tongue)
-2 pair of wings: the first is twice as short as the second, it performs the role of elytra
-The second pair of wings can fold and hide under the first
-Double thorn on the tail. The structure of the tail is similar to the tail of hivewings (the tail of the beetlewings is longer than that of the hivewings)
-Large thorns on the spine
-Semi-transparent beige blood
-Whites are also darkened, but not as much as in their descendants, hivewings
-Ears are pointed but not very long
-Omnivores
-Growth reaches 2.5-3.5 meters
*The design was based on bugs and some other insects
• Leafwings:
-Horizontal eye shape
-The presence of a modified ruffs (they are related to rainwings)
-Wings, webbed spines, ruffs and ears are leaf-shaped, and they can be very different in each individual (often their appearance resembles the plant after which they were named)
-Their scales do not necessarily have a green tint in all individuals
-Long, multi-ended horns that resemble tree branches. Many bigger than rainwings
-Paw structure almost identical to rainwings
-Sapwings and poisonwings try to distinguish themselves by applying paint on small fragments of scales, often making a small pattern from this (the first are painted in pale colors, the second, on the contrary, in colorful, mostly consisting of red, yellow and orange shades)
-In addition to this poisonwings can sharpen their webbed spines and horns, make them sharper
-Height reaches 3-4 meters
*The design was based on trees, their leaves and partly rainwings
Wings Of Fire X My Little Pony g4 crossover! Part 2
I. Mane six:
1) Fluttershy: Silkwing/Sandwing;
2) Princess Twilight Sparkle: Nightwing (mb with icewing gens, because her mom and brother, Shining Armor, is icewings);
3) Rainbow Dash: Skywing/Rainwing;
4) Pinkie Pie: Rainwing;
5) Rarity: Icewing;
6) Applejack: Mudwing/Sandwing.
II. Some villains:
1) King Sombra: Nightwing/Sandwing;
2) Starlight Glimmer: Seawing/Nightwing;
3) Queen Chrysalis: Beetlewing/Leafwing.
P.S. design of the dragons is slightly different from the official designs from books. The reason for this is my headcanon designs for all 11 tribes, which I will also try to post soon
wof sketches (jambu, luna and sundew)
I swear I'm not a wof blog I swear. Anyway, here's the bugs and a plant for some reason
Transcribed notes and other info on these guys:
the little doodles are just scribbles about where and their special glands are (which are colored yellow) amd how they work. From the top down and left to right, they say
'wrist spinneret with starter, mouth gland with proteins, combining them causes a chemical reaction makes a lot of quick-hardening silk.'
'Venom (soldier or Queen)
Worker-similar to silkwing silk
Drone-nothing in wrist'
'Extended periods of inactive sun time helps store energy' slightly to the left is 'like a leaf', slightly below is 'ambush attacks'
'No acid or venom, but secretes poisonous mucus and saliva' then to the right is 'very scary-looking because they have skin with bones under it instead of am exoskeleton'
Next to beetlewing head says 'acid spitting glands' below that says 'spinnerets on tail for building and subduing prey'
Some other general info:
silkwings are the smallest pantalan tribe amd they're omnivores, primarily eating plants but opportunistically scavenging when possible. they have a long tongue and a set of spinners in their mouth, the tongue being their to access the flowers,bugs, and fruit from the giant plants on the continent. the spinnarets from both their mouth and wrist have to be mixed to create the strong substance they use for building and defense (there is a ratio they can mix it at that causes it to combust when exposed to air and slung at enemies) the scakes on their wings are a bit poisonous but otherwise they have few defenses beyond this, they're also slow clumsy fliers. they have an exoskeleton but they also have an active respiratory system (so they actually breathe in and out unlike a real butterfly i think) unlike hivewings, they're not eusocial but they have been forced into those roles by the hivewing occupation. they're what's left of the beetlewings, having changed drastically in appearance over the years due to a lot of different pressures.
hivewings are large and omnivorous, but primarily eat meat to help fuel their flight. they're bipedal when on the ground, standing in a weird splayed fashion but able to run at fairly high speeds. when in flight, just like silkwings, they use both their leg wings and chest wings. hivewings can buzz them both at extremely high speeds and therefore fly much quicker and with more agility. also like silkwings, they have an exoskeleton and lungs, and their ither organs are stored in their abdomen tail thing to keep them away from the massive internal muscles needed to twitch their wings that fast. they are eusocial, and have several different classes. soldiers, workers, and queens are all female, and while they're larger than drones the queen is the largest (laying all the eggs in the colony. there are several dozen queens and hives on the continent, but they all answer to one). workers have a setup similar to silkwings where they can mix substances from their mouth and wrist to help them build the hive and trap prey. soldiers can't do this, and only have venom in their mouth and tail like a queen. drones are only there for the queen and don't do much else, having very little political or social power. hivewings are another offshoot from beetlewings that was mixed with some nightwings (which is why their faces, horns, and spines look a bit nightwing-ish and where their black coloring and sparkles of white dots on their wings came from)
leagwings are the only vertebrates, and look very scary to the others with their transparent skin,large eyes, and bones. they spend most of the day immobile somewhere in the sun,only occasionally moving to get water or ambush prey. their many frills help maximize surface area to photosynthesize with. they're entirely carnivorous when not getting energy from the sun. they're much more active at night, using the battery of energy they got from the day before returning to somewhere high and exposed to the sin so that when morning comes they can start to recharge. their main defenses are their teeth and claws, but they can also secrete a poisonous substance from their mouth and skin to deter others. it's mainly disorienting, but in a high enough dose it will kill. their long frog like kegs are for jumping from tree to tree and gor climbing because it's harder for them to work up the energy for takeoff from the ground. some of them are also magic and can control plants (magic is also how the One Queen can control all hivewings, but they also have their own natural pheremone signals) they have largely been wipes out thanks to outcompetition, habitat loss, and deliberate extermination on sight, but pockets of them are still around. they may have been from the same place as rainwings and share some of their features, but have changed drastically from those roots.
no one really knows a lot about beetlewongs because the version I drew is now extinct, but they were likely omnivores with both acidic spit and spinnerets, along with heavy armor. unlike their descendents they're still built more like a dragon from phyrria (idk if I spelled that right) with their big wing limbs being in front with the little arms being behind them instead of the other way around.
I decided to keep them all hexopods even though I think the hive and silk officially have another smaller pair of wing things (bringing them closer to being 8 legged in my version of things)
Gotta support my local WoF AUs
Lil worldbuilding things for wof au headworld to put all my accumulated fantribe ocs in :)
Another one of mine! 💜
this was the attack btw 😌 a cute dragon fellow called Crocus, for Long-Bird! ✨
My two favorite gay dragons because Why not? Also tho, their names are Arbor (the greenish one) and Bluecrown (the blue-ish? One). (Well isn’t it obvious).
Just, if anyone was wondering, this two OC are the ones from my post of “my sweet silly pair” I still don’t have a full body of them, but I promise I will make one. :)
My sweet silly pair :3
Soo, well um… yeah a new or well… redesign? OC… a (psycho one) anyways, this is Voodoo Lily! She’s a leafwing who after some crazy things that happened in her life, now she enjoys and finds satisfaction at killing others. And well, I think the song explains it better (literally because she is based in the letter of the song) but well um yeah, that’s all. :) hope you like her >:D
AHHHHHHHHHHH! THESE DOODLES ARE SO BEAUTIFUL I LOVE IT! :DD
The difference between my digital and traditional art is actually scary- like I’d kill for even one of my digital pieces to look like this- 😭😭
anyways, drawing neglected ocs
Oooo a wof sona too! I LOVE IT!! And a nightwing+leafing?! It's such a cool combo!
More art of my wof sona :3
Oh my shiitarke mushrooms, your art is absolutely dazzling 🤩 literally feasting on how awesome it is!
Your line work, shapes, and style is so cool! Am going to explode
Average un-symbiosed Leafwing.
There are actually two types of leafwings, variants if you will. "Living Gardens" and "Walking Plants". This post is about the Living Garden variant.
At heart, Gardens are just that, gardens. They on average look like sticks or peculiar driftwood, and throughout their life have plants growing on them. It starts young where they have the highest chances of a complete symbiosis with a plant, When a Garden first symbioses with a plant, usually only ever one species of plant for their whole lifetime (things can get messy if there's multiple species on one dragon, the plants basically fighting each other for real-estate on the dragon). Vines and trees are by far the easiest for a Garden to symbiose with, with carnivorous plants being the hardest.
Garden families have traditions of keeping the "Family plant", with each generation either symbiosing with the same plant as their parents or the same general species.
Saw some other people doing this, and since I am back in the WOF series after the 4th series was announced, here is some Sundew! I drew her from the cover (ovis) I hope you like it!
Drew a scene with a new bab I got off Nyx35 on DA!
If anyone has any advice/constructive criticism, please give it! I've tried a bunch of new things here and wanna hear how i could do it better next time!
anyway, I kinda wanna get my WoF OCs together and make a story out of them, but I suck at plots so we'll see if I ever figure it out! :>
An OC of mine. I love all the tribes because I can explore their culture through my head cannons.
This man, he is a witch doctor. Not because he's a healer who uses plants but because of his morbid curiosity with aggressive or incurable diseases.
He will be moving over to the first continent soon to investigate their plants and illnesses. He theorizes that his continents compact population has cultivated more aggressive diseases so he should have immunity to the first continents sicknesses.
Perhaps we will see some of his drawings and notes on the new flora.
they are a leafwing/hivewing hybrid :)
Wingchanting? Wingchanting! We got my favorite duo: Ren and Marteen!
Part 1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6 p7 p8 p9(here!)
Kinda looks like he's guarding ren in the full pic
And I'm actually using Martyn's favourite shade of green for this!
