!!! DESIGN A STORY CHARACTER CONTEST !!!

Gill with and without water

Forcing myself to draw the entire body rather than limiting myself to headshots. Still haven’t worked my way to drawing wings, however.

Revisited my concept for King Gill and fleshed it out a bit, both his hydrated and dehydrated states. His appearance was primarily inspired by Mufasa (I even referenced one of his poses) and a little bit of King Triton with the goal of making him look kingly and paternal. As I’ve mentioned previously, I like to give SeaWings (and all the wings really) facial hair when I think it fits the character. I also have him a gill patch, which my Orca design inherited,

While in the arena, he loses most of his ‘beard’ and sail as it dries up and shrivels. He’s also very underweight, and the lack of water has given him a shrink wrapped appearance, emphasizing his bones and musculature. He has sores and scratches from where he’s been chained around the neck and ankles. He’s completely feral, almost zombie-like. He’s just overall gross and crusty.

Bonus Coral cause I also redid her sketch. Gave her much more simplified jewelry inspired by Ponyo’s mother.

This is a really nice style. I like how conscious you were of the muscles on the arms and their shading. That's something I've been struggling on and this looks really good.

One of many revenges I forgot to post😶‍🌫️

Ooh fun colors and angles

Had an idea for a wof comic from asha's POV for a while now, telling the story about how kestrel joined the talons of piece. Because i honestly always wondered why a character like kestrel would even bother with that, so maybe asha was the reason she did. It would also be fun to explore asha as a character beyond the 'kind motherly type'

Time for another request: Moonwatcher, suggested by @steve-the-dino! For this one I thought it’d be fun to try drawing Moon in both my retro style and my “normal” style with some of my own WoF headcanons. My style isn’t super consistent, so I took the opportunity to try out some new brushes and techniques.

Retro moon has been simplified a little since the last time I drew her. She no longer has spikes on her head, and the small line of spikes on her tail have been replaced with three large ones. I like to give her the same heart-shaped nose that I give Clearsight, and big, soft eyes. I think in a Bluth movie, she’d be portrayed as introverted, bashful, and kind—perhaps to a fault.

My personal Moon design looks a LOT different. Her colors are far less saturated, and I like to give her a bit of iridescence, as she’s said to be multicolored in the books. I also make the scales on her back very light as if she’s always being washed in moonlight. I like to think that NightWings look otherworldly compared to other tribes, so instead of horns, I give them an alien-looking crest. I think the next time I draw Moon I’m going to give her a lot more purple. A lot of people portray her as green because of the cover, but I think in the books she was described as purple and blue!

In both designs, I give Moon green eyes and bright silver scales. In retro drawings, I’d make her about the same size as the rest of the Jade Winglet, but otherwise I headcanon NightWings being one of the smaller tribes. Moon is bigger than the average NightWing in both height and build, since she grew up in the rainforest instead of on the volcano. Large, round shapes can portray both softness and strength, and while the former certainly applies to Moon, I think she’s physically quite adept as well.

A MasterMind art piece I did. Not happy with the colors of the scroll yet or the background but I like how he looks.

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.
