I must've hallucinated someone requesting Six-claws, because I couldn't find it in my inbox by the time I was finished with this design! A little sad about breaking my streak of replying to asks instead of just throwing my redesigns out into the wind, but it's okay.
Here's my take on Six-claws! I had a great time doing this redesign, since the winglet books are actually some of my all-time favorites. I just love how charming the short stories are, and they honestly tend to be more concise than a few of the worse-written main arc books (No shade to Tui, writing is hard enough.)
I wanted to stay in line with the punk style I gave Thorn (+ eventually the other outclaws,) but I felt that it wasn't really sitting right on Six-claws, given his personality and background... he just doesn't really give me the vibe of someone who would spend hours on accessorizing, and view it as less productive than solving problems. Because of that, I tried to limit his accessories as much as I could - only keeping the outclaw tail band and a few neck/ear pieces.
As for his actual pattern, I tried to keep things simple with some spot/stripe patterns, keeping his color pallet relatively neutral and sandwing-ish since he's not meant to stand out all too much, outside of the talons.

"They hate me they hate me they want me dead they only hang out with me to escape their parents when none of the friends they actually like are available they are the only friend I have and everything I do I wonder what they would think and their opinion is truth to me but to them I am just an annoyance who won't shut up is immature and doesn't know how to express their emotions in a manner that doesn't seem exaggerated and entirely faked for attention and is awful at socializing and talking to me is hell I'm so fricking annoying and they hate me they hate me they hate me and last time they hung out with me I think I made them mad they seemed kind of annoyed the whole time and when they were half-asleep they yelled at me and their boyfriend they were video calling because we had both eaten chapstick before and they just seemed really annoyed the whole day and they've gone from coming over every other weekend to once every month or two and they hate me and I have no friends because I'm fricking annoying"
They come to my house and proceed to share Cheetos with me rant and laugh with me about school drama and let me watch tiktok with them and they have no reason to be there other than they want to be because their best friend's door is always open they could just go there instead of they didn't like me and then the second they have to go home
"They hate me they hate me they hate-"
Can I PLEASE get a headshot of their headshot here
OKOK SO YOU KNOW HOW BALD EAGLES DO THAT DEATH SPIRAL WHERE THEY LOCK TALONS AND DIVE TOWARD THE GROUND. what if SkyWings do the same thing, usually done instead of a kiss at weddings, as a proposal, ect. And while Moon and Carny are in the Sky Kingdom they see a pair of SkyWings doing this, and Carny explains it represents the partnership between lovers. Then later on CARNY AND MOON END UP CHASING EACHOTHER IN THE SKY PLAYING AND STUFF AND THEY END UP UPSIDE DOWN AND MOON TAKES CARNY'S TALON AND THEY DEATH SPIRAL AND THAT'S HOW THEY START DATING
This does have to happen after book 14, because he hasn't gone back to the JMA yet
I would love to see a scene in the prey center where the Jade Winglet is at their table, and Winter is fast asleep with his head down on the table, his wings and tail leaning lightly against whoever he's sitting by. Whoever the POV is sees, and pauses for a moment.
They think about how much he's changed- gone from a neglected IceWing prince who thought he'd never be allowed to be anything but his best, lonely, on guard at all times, to this completely unrecognizable creature; entirely comfortable with his surroundings and friends, smiling and laughing and joking about his skill in claw-to-claw combat. From staring at the wall, awake all night, feeling like he couldn't sleep an hour around just his one clawmate, to snoring quietly in the center of a room of twenty, his tail draped carelessly over Turtle's claws. The POV reaches over, and fixes Winter's crooked horn ring.
