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.

Remake/Remaster ref sheet of my Skeksis oc; SkekMier the Miner
Info!
Name: SkekMier
Title: Miner/Prospector
Pronouns: Them/They
Counterpart: urAor the Paleontologist
More info undercut
All of Thra knows the Castle of the Crystal is filled to the brim with beautiful gemstones and weapons made by the finest metals. Most of these high quality resources found within these castle walls can be contributed to a single hard working skeksis, skekMier.
SkekMier spends much of their time away from the castle, too busy with work. Their only company within the mines are their vast crew of hard working Gelflings and Podlings. This Skeksis contents themselves with toiling away at the ground and harvesting Thra’s greatest treasures. Most gems and ores that are dug up within the mines are refined by SkekMier before getting sent off to the castle be used for other projects.
However, some rare occasions, Mier keeps the more unique items to themselves. The Emperor doesn’t need to know about these gems or metals… Not like he visits them anyways! 
Mier is one of few skeksis that still retains the use of their second pair of arms, putting them to great use. Twice the Hands? Twice the pace of the work!
SkekMier commands a small army of Gelfling and Podling miners. While some are exiles from all seven clans, most are born into the company and live their whole lives in the Quarry. They all work alongside with the skeksis. In the tunnels, refining the metals, cutting the gems, and more.  Rarely SkekMier allows their crew to venture away from the mines and more so allows anyone to leave. Less Gelfling means less workers...
Being rather strict, Mier upholds a tight schedule. No one is above punishment. Those who does not comply with a slap across the head and a lengthy lecture about the importance of system structure. However, while strict, SkekMier do in fact have a soft spot for their Gelfling and Podling crew. Most of them have been born and live their lives in the Quarry. SkekMier sometimes is there to witness the births and the miner also witness deaths...
aving spent trine after trine surrounded by them and away from their Skeksis kin, the miner does have a better opinion of the two and quietly disapproves the way their kin thinks. Even to the point of getting into rare heated arguments with their kin. The Skeksis of the Castle may rule Thra but these mines are SkekMier domain and these gelflings are theirs! Still expects them to follow schedule though.
Whenever one of the castle skeksis goes to visit SkekMier, they have to be careful about not interrupting their schedule. Mier will not hesitate throwing fists at their kin too. Most of Thra depends on their work for stone, metals, and gems. This is a very busy and slightly stressed out Skeksis
SkekMier is on neural terms with their urRu, they avoid talking to the other but there is no hatred between the two halves.

I wanted to ask, what kind of character is Azra?
Does she have a story behind her, personality, likes and dislikes, what?
Tumblr media
Old sketch of Azra!
Azra is a Sifan soothsayer, herbalist, and "witch." Mostly a witch because that's what she prefers to be called....but not many gelfling take too kindly to that title.
She learned much of her talents from her paternal grandmother, who she calls Gran.
Both of her parents died while on an expedition when she was a childling. As a result, she fears the open sea and boarding ships. Unlike many/all Sifa who journey the open seas, Azra stays on land concocting potions and charms. She's quite popular amongst gelfling looking to get revenge on a former lover.
Azra is most famously known for her "odd" behavior of enjoying all things creepy, grotesque, and scary. Not too many gelfling genuinely enjoy her company, but she doesn't care. She has her soul sister, Shiyoon who belongs to my friend @jack-toons
Her personality is kinda hard for me to describe. She's laid back and chill, but she has her creepy antics that make her appear "weird," but she's a fun lass to be around once she's deemed someone her friend.
Azra dislikes loud gelfling, so she avoids big parties and taverns. Although she has a great love for her friends and family, Azra does not have time for romantic love. She's not interested in it and is happy to be single!
Azra has two pet giant centipedes who are named Goldie and Sawtooth. They are her babies and she speaks about them like any pet parent lol
I hope this gives a bit of insight on Azra. She's one of my favorite Ocs- lol I have so many but I love them all.

MORE GELFLING THINGS! This time more centered towards the Drenchen. These are just my head cannons and wild takes so obviously nothing here is like, fact, but I will probably do stuff like this with other clans in the future!
If there's anything you guys would like to see in the future let me know :D

If I Were a Gelfling....
I would be a Spriton. Because I love storytelling and art, so I'd probably be a dream-stitcher.
I would live in Sami Thicket.
I would probably have a pet landstrider or possibly a windsifter.

Gift art for my bestest friend @thanatasia ! This is her OC Fleur and her man’s Razer having a nice peaceful get away after he’s back from a long sailing trip in a forest of stone in the wood. They missed each other dearly!! Ahh this was a joy to illustrate! Both characters are beautifully designed and work so well off each other ! Can’t wait to see more fluffy and romantic content from their creators. Thanks for taking a look !
Fleur belongs to @thanatasia
Razer belongs to @myfanartblogplusshippingtrash/ @jack-toons
