Your gateway to endless inspiration
A collection of my most recent NightWing sketches.
Queen BattleWinner
MorrowSeer
SecretKeeper
And MasterMind
And of course all 4 outlines for size.
Still working on the concept of a comic, as soon as I've figured out the first 'instalment' I'll start working on and posting it. Never done a comic before so I'm excited.
I'm also trying to mess with facial expressions.
MorrowSeer and his wife Secretkeeper. I have an AU idea I'm working on where this couple both have the idea to hide their egg in the rainforest, at the persuasion of Mastermind of course
Explanation below the cut
MasterMind found a fragment of an old book referenceing the connection between the moon and the Nightwing powers. He did not dismiss this literature as a work of fiction because it was authored by a well known scientist of old about the possible connection between nutrition of the mother while laying the egg and the speed of the produced hatchling's development.
The article addressed both the physical and psychic development of the hatchling, acknowledging the small sample size of MoonBorn dragonets as a potential error in their research.
MoonBorn was a common term in the legends of powered Nightwings. Most assumed MoonBorn to be a name, perhaps the name of a powerful seer who predicted other seers hatching. But if it was instead a condition of hatching, could the powers of old be real?
Fewer and fewer Nightwings were being hatched each year. The selection of possible 'test subjects' was few, and the conditions on the island were all wrong.
The punishment for being caught were severe, BattleWinner did not view treason lightly. But the benefits... If his research was correct... He could be responsible for the hatching of the first seer in centuries.
He needed an egg, preferably willing parents, and an opportunity granted only to those most loyal to the queen.
A double moonlit sky was approaching, he had less than a year.
------------------
I'm still working on this concept. I want to explore a world where Secretkeeper and MorrowSeer have similar goals and ideas. Where Moon's abilities are a goal her parents tried to achieve. And where she is trained by both her mother and father.
I might retcon this later though. Perhaps MasterMind thought the moons would make the dragonet an Animus instead, and the mind reading and seer powers were an unexpected result. Perhaps the queen finds out about this plan before it's fully carried out. Perhaps the RainWings find the egg and take it with them to their hatchery. Who knows. I plan to make this a comic as a sort of art practice. Any and all feedback is appreciated.
the originals r from 2021 im p sure!
