It's Finally Starting To Feel Like Summer Here! So I Wanted To Make Something Bright And Colorful For

It's finally starting to feel like summer here! So I wanted to make something bright and colorful for a change from my recent angsty moods. ^^

I've had my old icon for a long while now, figured it was time to switch things up for a bit for Pride Month. Might be fun to challenge myself to make a new icon each month or so...

Or maybe that'd just be confusing.

Based on the quickie fic I wrote, A One Time Thing. Poor overworked basically dad Shermie.

*Whispers* What if Soos has pigeon wings?

I was thinking pelican, duck, or pigeon actually, but not sure which. Pigeons are slightly dim, ducks are usually seen as friendly (since people feed them), and pelicans are large slightly goofy birds characterized as having big appetites. 🤔

Could you maybe possibly draw some Pines twins with wings please?

Decided to sketch this suggestion while listening to my lecture recordings and, uh... Might have gotten a bit carried away with ideas. This might have to be a new AU.

(This was an awesome suggestion, thanks anon! ^^)

Mabel and Dipper both have parrot wings. Specie depends on personality traits, not genetics, but they have such a strong and healthy bond that they still ended up similar. (Mabel has standard macaw wings because bright and colorful, while Dipper has African grey wings because those are among the most intelligent birds in existence.)

Stan has magpie wings, due to their perchance for stealing and also because they look dull normally, but are surprisingly colorful in the right light. Magpies are also surprisingly clever.

Ford has owl wings, or rather, a wing. Bill broke off one because heavy handed symbolism about taking away his freedom by taking his ability to fly. He's pretty morose about it. (After Weirdmageddon, Fiddleford helps him make a functioning prosthesis [because regaining his freedom and independence with the support of family and friends])

(Wendy has woodpecker wings, Fiddleford has canary wings [songbird so connected with music, and also because he was basically Ford's 'canary in the coal mine' in regards to Bill], Gideon is a dove, I don't know the rest.)

From todays anatomy practice, faces still hard. Getting better though, I think ^^
