Oc: Dust - Tumblr Posts

A little wip drawing of my favorite OC, Dust. The image quality isn't the best, but I still felt like sharing it.

Don't you love staying up until 4:00 am drawing a character ref after a sudden and unexplainable bout of motivation?

Anyways, I now have an actual reference for my boy, Dust! I'm so proud of myself. 😌

:]

Here we go finally finished a drawing some OCs requested by @dawnxd

I decided to draw all three of them.

Dust is really pretty and I quite like their design.

I also really like Zenith's like the different scale colours, the patches, it's so visually pleasing to look at

And Olive, I really like Rainwings in general, but also her colours are really nice.

Hope you like them.

:]

In regards to you asking for OCs to draw:

Here's my boy, Dust! He's just a little sassy guy that loves collecting unique insults from all over Pyrrhia. Thanks in advance if you do end up drawing him!

i had a lot of fun drawing him he's beautiful

Hope you enjoy!

I think ur oc dust is awesome and I wanna see more :3

When I tell you I audibly gasped upon seeing this show up. I spent a good minute or two just being giddy and giggling as quietly as I possibly could (it's about 3:00 a.m. as I'm writing this). Seriously, thank you for this, anon.

That being said, here's my boy showing a bit more of a serious side compared to his usual demeanor! There's also a cut for a very short ramble of info on him and his creation, if you wish to read!

Dust is actually the first OC of mine that I ended up keeping! Before his creation, I tended to just make up characters and character designs out of boredom. But then, Dust just stuck with me. Nowadays, I'm trying to coherently build my own WOF universe to house my OCs and all of their stories.

Despite technically being my oldest OC, I haven't really come up with a backstory for him. I have a concept for him; a personality, a design, a situation(?); but I can't, for the life of me, figure out how I want him to end up in this position I have put him in.

So what do you have on Dust already?

The obvious spot in canon for a sandwing/nightwing hybrid is Thorn having more than one egg, so Sunny could have a sibling. Dune getting told she’d had one and being shown it and Six Ckaws the same and getting shown Dust’s egg in a separate location, as Thorn was being extra careful, would be a straightforward way to write in an origin point? There’s also the opportunity to easily justify Dust being an animus with an animus father that way too if it’s what you’re going for! Dust would then have a way to feasibly gain skills and contacts/companions if you wanted Dust to subsequently travel somewhere etc and not be a soldier in the succession crisis.

There’s no pressure with the above paragraph but I thought I may as well attempt to be helpful as design wise it looks like his mother was a sandwing (since there’s the whole hybrids taking heavily after the parent who laid them thing). Who knows it may be entirely off base but that’s why I’m curious if there is anything you have so far?

(also Dust with a sibling or parent, whoever you think they may be, or just a small hatchling dust, could be adorable if you wanted to make a drawing from this)

At your request, here's baby Dust taking a nap! (absolutely love how this turned out)

While that is indeed an interesting idea (seriously, I would love something like that), all of my OCs exist in a separate universe from the canon plots. This essentially means that none of the canon characters, past or present, exist in this universe. For example, in the universe I have created for my OCs, instead of Clearsight being the common ancestor for Hivewings, it is instead a group of Pyrrhian dragons (mostly Nightwings with a couple of others sprinkled in) that found Pantala. This "alternate universe" gives me more freedom to mold the story and world as much as I like.

And, to answer your question on what I have so far for Dust and his background. Dust is the child of Rattlesnake (Mother, Sandwing) and Sandstorm (Father, Nightwing/Sandwing hybrid). He is mostly Sandwing, which is why he doesn't really have much Nightwing traits beyond some darker coloring, his bright blue irises, and the star scales on his wings. As for backstory and such, all I know for sure is that, for some reason I haven't decided yet, Dust despises his mother. I also know that he is currently a traveler, wandering between the kingdoms of Pyrrhia and doing odd jobs to make ends meet.

PWBCOAJDJSL I LOVE HIM!!! TYSM

I drew @dawnxd 's oc dust :3 he's so awesome

I think dust deserves a sweet treat

He found a prickly pear :]

I didn't really feel like breaking the trend of these requests being headshots, so I didn't. I think it turned out pretty well, anyway.

:0 TYSM!!!

This is @dawnxd ‘s oc Dust!

I apologize for the hood I couldn’t draw fabric if my life was on the line 😭

Biblically Accurate Dust jumpscare

Drawing any more of him would have been absolute torture, so this is it for now. Might end up doing a full drawing in this art style eventually, though...
