"Nightwings Aren't The Only Ones With Special Magic Powers." His Lip Curled Into A Small Smirk "At Least

be careful of those you trust

just some color practice. this piece also inhabits some emotions im going through atm thats absolutely the opposite of the wolf in sheeps clothing.

more like putting on a gentle facade while your inside screams.

but i dont wanna go too into it as i wanna keep my account on a more oc comfort side of things for me^^

spooky

Ok but like this thought isnt related to the art above but i got some nail polish today and one was called anarchy. Yes. Yes it is my favorite. 

anyway about the art. I made this a bit ago and forgot to post it here. this is my 2nd painting piece ive ever done in mediabang. hope you enjoy.

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

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.)

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!

cant sleep

long explanation short these are my two ocs Vega and Owlbert Owlington Ugla (long name I know lol) and they -might- be in love.

My world/ lore building ramble starts here:

SO Vega works with Taurus (A star pelted blue bull) and they take on jobs across the universe to make money. Vega took an offer on a planet full of people who take on bird like attributes (Like shapes, colors, and mannerisms) Vega had to find the employer at a big ballroom on this bird like planet that was hosting a party that Vega was unaware of its importance. Long story short it went bad and vega had to scoot out of there but they bumped into Owlbert and was nervously asked to dance. Vega accepted seeing as it would help them get away from their persuers. One thing Vega majorly mistook was this dance was this planets courting ritual. Vega ran out of the ballroom and was chased by a very confused Owlbert. Vega pulled up owlbert onto taurus and rode off having to explain the long and complicated story of what they gotta do now.

During their long ass journey Vega softens up to Owlbert. Hope you liked this little comic <3

IMPORTANT QUESTION: On your pinned post, regarding your sona and the black dot in the center of their face: is that a nose or mouth? Like, can I see their face in profile?

it's the nose! I like drawing my sona with big ol eyes so the mouth ends up lost 💀

The 2nd image of my sona holding my snail dragon oc Dr moose shows the usual mouth + nose

Sadly I'm working on a proper ref but they're a classic cat n alien fella 🫶

Spidersona

people in a discord server im in keep showing the "whats up manger" meme and I realized I never shared my spidersona here. Funny enough shes slowly becoming more of an oc

Non grey background sketches are old (10 months so to say but my grasp on anatomy was a lot rougher back then) so have mercy on me, I do have a finished verison of their ref but would like to redo it so

Spiderspring! The area im in has no skyscrapers with like only 2 big swingable areas so I thought about jumping spiders and how some spiders will "ride the wind" to get around. Thats exactly what spring does. Her legs are like super powerful lol

The villains

Doc ock, in this earth Otto doesnt earn the name doc ock till much later. He tried to make it big in nyc but embarassed himself so bad he ended up in the midwest. Hes trying to regain his pride and show the world who he really is. He stays within a junk yard finding the easy access to parts to be a god send, he has been caught stealing from the small art center though. Given hes still young hi whole "villain career" is starting out pretty rocky. It also doesnt help hes usually stopped by an equally clumsy hero. He wont admit it but it is nice to have someone who sorta gets his struggles. Spring is the most lenient with him given he can usually just be talked to and not fought. In the future these two head off to NYC to be with the big heros and villains, still keeping in touch.

Vulture, in this universe Turkey Vulture. "midwestern dad that stands on the porch during a tornado warning" pretty much his entire vibe. Vulture is a scientist enamoured with wind and its dangerous power, tornados are a big interest for him. During an experiment involving the local turkey vultures, the lab went wrong fusing the man with the bird. He gained wings, talons, and a stronger hunger to harness the power of the wind. Currently married to a bird watcher named Constance he has tamed down the more outlandish experiments. Not 100% though, he'll still rob a bank for money. Spring loves to tease the man and "threaten" to call his wife when hes getting in trouble.

Lizard (no ref but featured in springs ref) a small lizard man who find love in the fancy. Constantly stealing. More annoying than threatening. Spring notes lizard to be the most active villain

Giant Corn (mentioned, small doodle) legit exactly how it sounds. Its a giant mutant corn monster who usually attacks the drive in. Weirdly the most destructive villain. When it gets angry it can pop like popcorn

Overall its a young spiderspring getting her footing with a group of odd villains to help her practice.

“Which fictional universe would you rather live in—“ Star Trek. Star Trek. There is a correct answer and it’s Star Trek. “I want to have cool adventures—“ Star Trek. “I want to live in high tech but ethical peace and comfort” Star Trek. “I want to be a psychic alien—“ Star Trek. “But I want to do magic—“ do you know how much weird magic shit happens in Star Trek. Also Star Trek has holodecks you can pretend to be in Lord of the Rings or Star Wars or whatever and then come home to your usually peaceful interstellar community. There are basically no downsides to living in the Star Trek universe if you take the assumption that you remain you, a human living on Earth. You can join Starfleet or you can stay home and enjoy fully automated luxury gay space communism. The answer is Star Trek.

oc intro

week has started off rough cause I got bit by a dog and my leg now hurts and has a nasty bruise 💔 so why not chat about some of my wof ocs. Fair warning there will be alot of older art 💀 prepare

princess jojoba, sandwing, she/her

Jojoba I'd one of many siblings and in no way near the throne, thus she is carefree. She's also mama's favorite and they spend time together often. when not with her mother she is off watching races across the dunes and trading within markets. While Jojoba is outgoing and joyful she is haunted by the fact one of her sisters will kill their mother for the throne. She doesn't want to loose her mother and she knows she'll never very whoever does it the same.

art status: oldish ref needs redone

Forestfire, skywing, he/him

Forestfire is a rather large firescales skywing. When he was born rumors and fear spread quickly. His parents paid an animus to make a rope, unable to be burned or broken, and tied it around their sons jaws to keep him from using his fire. They thought if he never used fire that the internal flame would just burn out and he'd become "normal". The rope did the opposite causing his flames to burn stronger and break through his scales to find some relief. The poor boy was then banished into the mountain and locked up for good. Forestfire now waits within the mountain growing angrier by the day waiting for a group of pseudo prophecy dragonets to stumble their way in and release him.

Art status: old ref, needs redo and will probably be removing the front horn it's a bit too hivewing

BASE: Joy ang lines from the book

Fossil, mudwing, he/him

Fossil is a lost mudwing trying to find his family. He doesn't remember them but just has that gut feeling something is wrong. He is well liked within the mudwing villages and he drifts from troop to troop, feeling loved but not exactly fitting in

Art status: needs drawn ref

Wolfsbane, leafwing, he/him

A hired hand, will do anything for money kinda guy. He looks pretty intimidating so he hasn't really had to get violent on many of his jobs. Thinking of sticking this guy into my other mind au story

Art status: old-ish art, would like to give new ref but doesn't not need one immediately

Queen Sonne and Queen sunset, skywing and silkwing, both she/her

Two queens I made for an rp a long time ago that sadly didn't work out. They do have full refs but they are on bases rn and need redone.

Queen sonne of the skywings is an older more serious queen, she is known for being harsh and no nonsense.

Queen sunset of the silkwings is a very young queen. She was her mothers only daughter and her mother sadly passed early. Sunset is under constant pressure from a group of nobles each trying to dictate laws to their own interest. Sunset is currently trying to find her voice and looks up to queen Sonne a lot.

So there's a handful of my own ocs ❤️ some need to to be reworked and refs re drawn but I still love them

idk man have a weird old guy
