The Bellbird Firca
I was highly inspired by J.M. Lee's Song of the Dark Crystal, which I loved a lot. Kylan is the best boy :) I tried to make this nice and balanced, but not too symmetrical to keep the flow and shapes interesting.

I have always head-cannoned that each of the different clans would have different wing types but I never really sketched them out too much until now!
I will now go into why I made them the way they are, read if you dare •_•
Spriton: felt like the speedy and strong combo fit them pretty well so of course we had to go with the dragonfly-like wings.
Drenchen: pretty standard from the books here, more fin than wing as they’re meant to be used in the water more than air
Stonewood: these guys always reminded me of your stereotypical moth for some reason, maybe it’s because they hang out in the forest flocking around this one really big light but hey that’s just me.
Grottan: speedy and good at turning since they’ve gotta navigate all those tight spaces in the caves. Which, speaking of caves, there aren’t really a whole lot of flying cave bugs to go off of for this so we’re just gonna say that since the Grottans are sister clans to the Vapra they’ve evolved from there.
Vapra: since their mascot is the unamoth I wanted to use similar wing shapes and combined it with a comet moth. They’ve very pretty wings what can I say. They are easily the biggest wings out of the other 7 clans, with Grottan or Sifa in a close second.
Dousan: the smallest wings out of the bunch since the Dousan might not fly on their own as much considering the hot hot sun and the use of crystal skimmers for transport. They’ve got the little wing-tassel bits cause I feel like it would fit their vibe.
Sifa: since the Sifa are kind of the melting pot of all the clans I wanted their wings to be a bit of everything, the top wing shape and size from the Grottan, Vapra, and spriton, with the wing tassel things from the Dousan, the bottom wing shape from the Stonewood, and some webbing(?) connecting the wings together from the Drenchen (they’re out on the water a lot, who says they aren’t water comparable?). Essentially they are a mess. Wings can change depending on if they are related more to one clan than another, and they are by far the most varied wings out of all 7 clans.
AND THAT IS ALL I AM NOW GOING TO BED GOODNIGHT EVERYONE.
