Seawings - Blog Posts

Fathom 🌊

its important to me that he looks exhausted in every sketch of him/ finally i made him look eerily like turtle but enough like himself. also just have to show the scar on his palm, i cant let it beee his plot>> ueee

TURTLE 🐢💚!! my favourite blorbo

you'll notice his tail and ears are very different to tsunami and my general headcannon for seawings/ i imagine the tribe has countless phenotypes for features like that, as diverse as the marine life surrounding them

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?

✰Tsunami rahhh

i struggled so much with the pose but ofc in the end she's ready to fight, she also had beads in her pearls to represent her friends :>

Heheh this is a suuuuppper fUNnyyy JoKEEeee

😀

Ratchet's as old as time before the great war he worked as a medic working by the sea side healing travelers he's a strong seawing with a skywing ansetory which gave him his rather redder tone in scales.

He's mostly seen grumpy but if you catch him at the right time of day he's rather calm and nice also no matter what you do do not touch his tools he's rather protective.

But he doesn't bite so if you need a talon with anything medical related just talk to him! Oh and Bee's doing great he working now so that's something new! Anyways I cant wait to hear back from you!

Love, Orion pax.

edit: and to clear some things up cuz yes this is a lil confusing the scrolls or letters as post war but designs are prewar!

Drawing my mutuals #4

Yay this is minnow for @spookys1fan

Here are all the mermay designs I did from last month, I used a prompt list that @/tundra.skies on Instagram had come up with. It was very hard to keep up with all the days but I’m glad I finished it because some very cool designs came out of it! I probably won’t be using a lot of these dragons in my story, besides the few dragons that I already had or the designs I really like, so in the future I’ll probably sell them for something I haven’t really made my mind up about it yet. If anyone does want the designs feel free to ask for any of them and I can tell you what I can accept for all of them!

Off limits:

Days 4, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, 23, 25, 28, and 31

Accepting:

Anything other than money right now, I’m not necessarily in a situation where I can accept that right now so we’ll hold off on that lol. I’m really just taking art😀👍

Obviously characters that aren’t mine are off (aka turtle bc he’s a character in the books). But ya feel free to ask about any of the ones not mentioned!

First off on this weeks post is grim my lovely stinky fishy baby

IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT I KNOW

Then next is a dragon from one of my Aus where orca before she was killed had a child and a bit of a timeline change. Her name is Oil spill due to her rainwing traits where she can make color bloom like reflections of light on oil. Her little seawig spots aren't as noticble do to them being either white or black depending on underbelly or over scales.

Her father was a traveling painter who excelled in portraits which is when he met orca. Blah blah blah around when oil spill was 6 months old was when her mom decided to challenge coral, so ever since then shes been alone. She can breath fire but has not attempted many times since her primary physiology is not built for it so this can cause some smoke infiltrating her gills and causing choking. She has weak venom causing like a temporary chemical burn on whom she uses it on, shes fairly quiet due to having a stutter(twins) as well as not being taught all proper speech though she knows a fair bit of aquatic, so she has frustrations when not being able to cut her point across or using the wrong words. She has a bit of a staring problem(shes just a people watcher fr) but shes very sweet if people would be less unnerved by her.

I didnt draw her with wings because im either gonna make her have a birth defect or just haven't decided on a design. And little facts about her are that she loves collecting all types of things and despite not being one of her fav foods she loves eating sea urchin. Although she is an animus shes only made two wishes 1. for the trees on her island to always have coconuts and 2. her bag never runs out of space

anyways thank you if u read all my bullshit

Red SeaWings are also plausible, mostly in deep sea areas!! Red is one of the darkest wavelengths, so to speak (it's not literally darker, just technically. colour theory stuff blah blah blah), so it blends in better than any other colour! Even blue! Many deep sea creatures are red because of this -- giant/colossal squids and scaly-foot gastropods, for example. They're both dark red.

And also, in super deep areas, if there are any SeaWings down there, they'd probably be white or very pale, because they don't need pigmentation to protect themselves from sunlight or to blend in.

I personally think leafwings and seawings should be allowed to be more colourful then they cannonically are because plants and underwater animals are very colourful 👍👍👍

I am a beleiver in Red LeafWings, whether that be their natural color or from changing seasons.
