Alrighty, At The Request Of @moondrift-the-icenight , Here Is A Third Part To The Tutorial, Specifically

Alrighty, at the request of @moondrift-the-icenight , here is a third part to the tutorial, specifically going over how to make wings transparent!

I'll be using a HiveWing as the subject again, as it's their wings that are the most whack to work with

1. I recommend putting your wing color layer above your body color layer, as not only will it help you customize the wings more, it'll also let any of the body behind the wing show through!

2. Now, you actually have two methods you can do for their wing transparency:

The Pen Way is to take the pen of your choice, and lower the opacity of it by 50% or lower.

Now, you color all in the wings until it covers them up!

(How it will look coloring all over)

This method does have a couple downsides:

You cannot use the bucket tool to make it quicker, as it doesn't really take opacity into consideration.

There is an opacity setting for it, but it does not do anything other than be a bucket with a different name (my guess is that it's bugged, I'll experiment further to see how it all works)

But for now, this is what happens when you do bucket

You also have to color the wings in one go, or else the opacity will build up and make the color solid instead of transparent

(An example on how that looks, it is purple to better show it. It does make a cool effect, so I also suggest playing with it. Experimentation is the way of art!)

And making markings is more difficult, sometimes requiring another layer depending how complex they are, as you'll end up doing a LOT of erasing

(Here is two examples of markings. If you would like, you can also merge the pattern layer down, with the arrow pointing down to the double lines, once you are done, like I had down for Meadowhawk, but it is not needed)

Now, the second method is the Layer Way, where you color the wings with 100% pen opacity, but then lower the opacity of the layer itself

This one is much easier, as it lets you go ham on the wings without any worry of build up from your pen, or having to spend a while with it and can instead use the bucket

Rejoice!

The one downside to this method is that you can absolutely not have it all on one layer, as it's the layer that makes it's see through, so it will make the body colors desaturated and funky (unless you want a desaturated and funky character lol)

All and all, I'd recommend the Layer Way to beginners and such, as it is a lot less finicky than pen

Though I also recommend experimenting! See which way ya like more and such, cause there's no wrong way to do art☆

Oh, and as a little side note, the wings for the rest of the dragons (except NightWing because of their wing pattern) work perfectly fine with solid color wings or 50% opacity wings

And that concludes this tutorial! If any of you have questions, ask away! I will answer the best I can.

Have a good day/night where ya are, and take care🎉

You know

I always got such euphoria from seeing like, trans or trans inclusive stuff, like shows or books or characters

And I always thought it was because "Ah, fellow queer is being shown! Joyous day!"

And while half is definitely that... the other half was a bigender egg that didn't even know it was an egg until years later in this new year lol

Shout out to all the trans/bigender/nonbinary/demi girl/demi boy/genderfluid folks out there, I love how we all exist🎉

The shading nearly took me out but I’m really proud of this

Something that I find common on here is that many individuals look at this princess

The one who has killed an egg, slaughtered many, stuck their parts on her tower, and stuffed a few who were deformed and propped their mistreated corpses and parts in her weirdly tower

And go "My mom figure UwU"

Your mother figure would kill and stuff you in an istance the moment she saw you you have terrible self preservation bro gonna get their head bitten off like a beta smh 🙄 /j

ThanksfortheinfoIdidn'tevenknowtheyhadadogwhistlesuntilrightnow🙏

Just so like... it's clear... anyone who censors words that contain "man" or "men" to anything like "xxn" that's TERF shit.

Any reference to women/womanhood that solely revolves around having a uterus or "womb" is TERF shit.

Any sentence where the OP says they support people being "trans identified" with quotes around ""transwomen"" or ""transmen"" is TERF shit.

I'm seeing a lot of you baby Tumblr gays out there not knowing what these specific TERF dogwhistles look like.

"Wombxxn" is an incredibly dumb way of spelling "woman" that treats the word "man" like a slur and also reduces women to their ability to give birth.

"Trans identified" is their way of saying "this person calls themselves trans, but I don't believe they are."

Saying "People should be allowed to identify however they wish, but we still need to protect women/children" IS TERF SHIT.

Learn to identify this garbage, because not all TERFs are going to spell out their intolerance for you. Some of them are going to try and seem reasonable and polite and normal, and it's fucking dangerous to our community.

Also unpack any internalized transphobia and your transmedicalism, because both those things will have you quickly siding with TERFs and bigots.

Sure, I like werewolves
