Problematic Fave Lmao, Hes A Naughty Boy But I Just Love How He Is Written. Sure He Loves To Kill But

Problematic fave lmao, he’s a naughty boy but I just love how he is written. Sure he loves to kill but I am far more terrified when a character is a master manipulator! Such a good character! :) ~ Reblogs always appreciated!

I think sandwings would be skilled at astronomy and shit bc iirc (correct me if I'm wrong bc i haven't read these books in a while) some of them seem to be nomadic, or at the very least there're large distances to travel in between oasis and towns, so using the stars and night sky for navigation would probably be a valuable skill in the desert

HERE IS A MORE SERIOUS EXPLANATION TO THE AU CONCEPT!! As apposed to the original Albatross' Guide sketches hahah!

i wanted to use that goopy text to show him screaming lol, thats why it changes in the last page. the au will not be shown in this quality of comics lol- it will be more dabble sketches and PMV's

[apologies for any spelling errors, i type way to fast and also have minor dyslexia lol]

edit: yooo part 2 is out go look at it!!

royal gals from arc 1! i used this as a way to further illustrate and explore my fashion headcanons, and i love how these turned out. design notes under the cut!

CORAL: i wanted her to look deceptively kind and bubbly, so i tend to draw her big and round like a whale. two inspiration for her design are king dorephan from breath of the wild and granmamare from ponyo. i give her a big coral crown and pearl jewelry. she has a lot of teardrop shapes bc she's probably sad about a lot of things

GLACIER: my favorite queen <3 i wanted her to look regal and no-nonsense but kind. with the exception of her crown, most of her accessories are very sleek and minimalistic. and of course i had to give her glasses because i'm obsessed with giving dragons glasses. i can't decide if the spikes on that crown are opal or enchanted ice, but the studs are black tourmaline.

SCARLET: the og bad bitch!! i love designs that make her look like the world's scariest, swankiest peacock, and the animated wings design was a huge inspiration here. her face markings are meant to look like a helmet. the mail vest she's wearing here is more for show than protection, an ostentatious piece she wears around the palace rather than something she'd don in battle. this is generally the fit i imagine she would wear to court sessions and arena matches.

MOORHEN: i would love to know more about her tbh. i like the colors i gave her, i think the shades of brown work really well together. the cord around her neck represents her sibs, the knot having four coils to symbolize each of them. she has agate embeds all over her, with the majority on her horns, wings, and wrists/ankles. i imagine she has tattooed wing membranes as well.

GRANDEUR: i wanted to make her look regal and positively ancient, and i think i succeeded well enough. her frill shape vaguely matches glory's, as well as her affinity for orange and gold color accents. the flowers are based on tropical rhododenrons.

BATTLEWINNER: ooo she was fun. basically no opportunity for fashion, as i'm sure anything she'd try to wear would burn or melt in her lava bathtub, but i got to do some fun scarring on her. her snout is all scratched up, one of her horns broke off at some point (i imagine that happened during her throne challenge, and that nightwings spar with their horns like rams or deer. she probably got slammed into a wall or something) and her ears are all kinds of shredded. any water vapor around her face and neck tends to solidify into ice, building up into big sparkly icicles over time.

The Family

I wanted to make my own designs of the characters, the way I do with Warriors + I could use the practice with drawing dragons

So I'm starting it off with Kinkajou!
