Birds of a Feather previous / next

#my art #feralnette au #birds of a feather #long tags #sorry I went apeshit in the tags #LETS SAY IT ALL TOGETHER NOW #I - M - A - G - OOOOOOOOO #its fun drawing marinette's back to Alya and having her appear stout and unstoppable and totally logical #and then you see her face and she's like two seconds from completely snapping and is keeping it together by a thread #as a note just because mari feels very certainly abt smth doesnt mean she's right. feelings can be valid and also irrational #in the throes of grief she decided it was better to be alone than to lose someone again so she started pulling away #and lila made pulling away very very very easy to do #shes also vaguely aware she's being unfair in pinning this on alya which is why she started spinning the drain on cockmoth again #legitimately all the shit that's happened to her wouldn't have been so catastrophic if he was never in the picture and she knows it #but the bitterness of her bestie choosing a fantastic liar over her at the worst of times stiiiiiings #alya's personal timing was bad but lila really took advantage of the fact that marinette had been acting off and weird #she basically clocked marinette as being unstable from SOMETHING and made up a lie about her #knowing she wouldn't have the strength to defend herself #between her social life going tachy bc of lila and losing fu in a way that felt like personhood death marinette was really put on the spot #and alya doing her thing of busting in there and assuming her bias is correct was a terrible combo #essentially marinette is highly unstable and alya is just realizing that #busting in and giving her a lecture when she's slightly hysterical and definitely delirious from exhaustion is NOT the way #to show her she's self sabotaging #cuz thats just gonna make her double down on self sabotaging. bc marinette will not accept that she is also a CHIIIIILD

#I MAY HAVE GOTTEN A LITTLE SILLY WITH DISCORDS DESIGN #like his original design makes sense because its described as mostly pony with a bunch of other things thrown in. cause yknow chaos #and I dont have a problem with it but I wanted to try something else #mostly riffing off of daycare attendent and the collector. but I like the idea of his colors mismatching when using magic #like the dark blue spots become orange and vice versa. it looked really cool in my head #fluttershys bat design partly inspired by the Honduran white bat and ghost bats #I like the idea that they turn her back but she still has bat wings hidden under her feathers. makes her a quiet flyer shrugs #and I have never ever seen a single drawing of flutterbat with a bat nose and its a crime #also they r very cute to me. I think their ship is very sweet #me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic etc etc #myart #doodles #mlp #my little pony #fluttershy #mlp fluttershy #mlp discord #fluttercord #mlp redesign #turns out I have a knack for drawing ponies 🧍

I love working with absolute geniuses in restoration. Like, this person knows what plants to plant to remove deadly diseases from water, that one over there understands the local area better than anyone, and everyone else understands the intersections of physics and biology and justice to a point where they could write phd dissertations if they weren't so busy doing applied restoration work.

But if there's a baby turtle on the job site, that's our WHOLE DAY

#everyone is such an outdoor dork its adorable #we had a flock(?) of ducks on a lake pull up to us and we exclaimed over their little duck butt feathers for a SOLID 15 mins #solarpunk #gardening #permaculture #sustainability #restoration #conservation #turtle

Aragorn and Arwen taking a walk through Minas Tirith (she's venting about how maglor disappeared again right before el&el were going to drag him to valinor)

(Aragorn has a very good fashion sense, if he was a Noldorin ambassador living in Numenor during the Late Elros Era. Arwen is also very stylish for early Doriathrim royalty. The rest of Gondor got used to it eventually.)

#lord of the rings #lotr #aragorn #arwen #behold aragorn's Choices #he has upgraded from dressing like a first age beorian to an early numenorean at least #complete with the turquoise and orange feather patterns elros likes for some reason #and the glove sleeve things and half cape that were last considered fashionable in nevrast. or by vardamir #his circlet is the inverted v style that shows up mostly in YT noldorin stuff #arwens crown thing is similar to one miriel used to wear #the starry shoulder trend was mostly a thing during the Great Journey but it reappeared briefly at the end of elros' reign #because of the earendil/seven stars thing #somehow aragorn manages to not-quite-pull-off a gondolin style coat w both elros patterns and starry shoulders #that's why he looked like an elven prince of old in lorien #his idea of formal wear just looks like hes a second age peredhel badly cosplaying turgon

Part 6 of the Linked Universe Winged Au! After many requests this time around we've got our Veteran, Legend!

<<< Previous Next >>>

As always we have to start off with a bird fact, so did you know that male White-Winged Crossbills have unpigmented barbules that mask their red color and are what make them appear pink in the fall? However, as these barbules wear off, the bright red is able to show through leaving them a brilliant red in the spring and summer!

Anyways, I found this fact to be very interesting especially considering Legend's adventure throughout Oracle of Seasons. Just the mental image of his plumage slightly shifting with the constant changing of the seasons was very funny to me and I couldn't NOT make it canon. Plus, I enjoy making his life more difficult than it already is because I also headcanon that when he was younger, his wings were constantly stuck in a half molted state because white-winged crossbills usually molt in the fall. In other words, turns out messing around with seasons and time has consequences so he was a very scruffy, fluffy looking kid growing up.

As for how he looks and acts now, he has many similar characteristics and behaviors of a White-Winged Crossbill. For example, he is a very strong flier, and his unique way of flying has given him a very aggressive and abrupt fighting style both on the ground and in the air. His style of fighting is especially effective in forests with a lot of trees because it allows him to dart between foliage and foes alike.

While his flight and fighting styles were influenced by the sheer number of quests he has gone on as well as his young age when he began, other characteristics and behaviors of his were also influenced as well. For example, when he was still just a kid thrown into his first adventure where just about everything in the world was bigger than him, he learned to bristle and fluff his feathers to appear bigger and more threatening to enemies. While somewhat effective at the time, nowadays it means he still has the unconscious habit of doing it whenever he is irritated or embarrassed.

In addition to his tendency to "poof" when upset, he also has a habit of picking at and pulling out his own feathers when especially stressed. He picked up this habit mainly because of his constant molting as a child but then continued it as he was went on more and more adventures. Doing it is second nature to him now, but it's a bad habit he's actively trying to break by fiddling with his rings instead. It's also part of why he's so insistent about preening the others because helping them quite literally stops him from pulling out his own feathers.

Anyways! I could go on, but that's all for now folks! Thank you again for all your support and kind messages! I really treasure them and they are always the highlight of my day! As always, feel free to let me know who or what you would like to see next! Thank you all again!

Making Legend's life and childhood even more difficult than it already was is my passion #Did I basically give him the equivalent of bird acne with his constant molting??? Whoops. #also that lil tidbit about pulling out his own feathers is a real thing birds do when physically or emotionally distressed! #I really looked at Legend and went “this bad boy can hold so many suppressed trauma responses” #I also showed this to @breannasfluff a couple days ago and she said Legend looked like he was posing for a picture #So I had to draw a quick doodle to make it canon #I use my time and artistic talents for good I swear

[Hangman and Rooster on their way to their F-18, ready to show the new batch of Top Gun students who the best of the best are.]

Jake: Say, Bradshaw, ready to show the peanut gallery who the better pilot is?

Bradley, remembering traumatic childhood/teenagehood/adulthood memories of Icemav asking each other *that*: Nope. I know better than to answer that question, Seresin.

Jake: That’s right, Rooster. Because you already know I’m the best. I have great eggs-pectations from you though…. You may be able to giv' me hell.

Bradley, arching an eyebrow at the pun: Chicken puns. How original.

Jake, *grinning*: Best of cluck! I’ll save some hen-kerchiefs for when you lost.

(Bradley rolls his eyes and speed-struts to his fighter jet.)

Jake, *speaking softly*: Mmmmmh. Hate to see you go. Love watching you leave.

Javy (who was here the whole time, like a stealth pilot): I’d say if you like him so much then you should put a wing on it, but truth is I think you've fried your chances.

Jake, beginning to laugh before registering what he said: Javier Esteban Ramon Kristóbal Machado, you did not just…?!

Good things: I've been invited to partake in a certain exhibit regarding a certain author since I've had the privilege of illustrating the covers for the UK edition of a certain fantasy series.

Not so good things: I've lost most of the scans for the 8 illustrations (I think I only have 3? 4?) so that means I need to figure out WHERE I stashed the originals. I know I HAVE them, so that's some comfort. But I have so many stashes. And it's been... 10+ years and two moves. On top of that, they may need retouching. Fun times!

A minor "conundrum": I finally need to decide where I would like to offer said illustrations for print. I have a society6, but it is rather dusty these days. That aside, the print quality seems pretty decent (I have not seen with my own actual eyes, but considering I've yet to hear otherwise, I'd say they go over well.) That said, if anyone has opinions/experiences on print on demand storefronts, I'd love to hear them. I'll say in advance I would prefer to not handle printing them myself. If you know, you know.

So yeah: Things! Winged horses abound, and the search for my old art begins. If you are a fan of the old Green Rider series illustrations, watch this space?

#April rambles #text post #illustration stuff #I don't call myself an illustrator anymore since it occupies so little of my time #but I put in the work when its asked #anyway overwhelming imposter syndrome looming since my work will be in the same space as Donato Giancolo and Alexandre Dainche #to which I pale in comparison needless to say #I just draw horses and feathers y'all I'm not important nor do I aim to be #sorry for vagueposting old followers know I do the covers for the UK edition of Kristen Britain's “Green Rider” series #if I sound more self disparaging than usual it's because I don't feel I deserve chances artistically these days due to massive art block #just need to pull myself together and attempt to occupy my illustrator self again #it's been so long #on the flipside it's heartwarming to know people have loved the cover art #I genuinely enjoyed drawing them #I have a lot of thoughts and they would be better off occupying a journal #instead of clogging up tumblr
