Wings Of Fire Sandwing - Tumblr Posts
Sandwing and Music Headcanon
I haven’t drawn much lately I’ve been so busy. But have a new OC. (Not that I need anymore OCs)
Mmm tasty lore
I've been wanting to redesign Sandwings since I watched Dune part two, that movie got me obsessed with Sandwings and I decided to draw them for a school project.
anatomy- sandwings are quite short compared to other tribes. they have flat bodies covered in spikes similar to thorny devils. they have large barbed tails, the stinger is strong enough to break through bone. Sandwings wings have large feather like structures that can join and separate at will, once separated they will create a rattling sound, sandwings will often rattle their wings as a sign of anger or fear.
unlike other tribes sandwings have partial hairs on their bodies. these are most notable in hatchlings who are covered head to tail in dark micro hairs which are used to protect parasites from digging under their scales. they also have whiskers which can detect changes in weather.

Redesign
Older version
InkGoreber but it's last year. And also a special highlight of Day 7 because it's just so good that I don't think I can top it, even after a year.
My secret santa gift on one of my servers! This took me three hours and I also chose to draw each individual scale on the face so please pray for my hand lol
This was started like a year ago??? Maybe more??? I had done most of the lineart by the time it was abandoned but I now finally have the time to finish it. Patch notes: Seafoam patterns on the webbing and wings, slight color changes
Sketch practice because it's been forever and a half since I last touched traditional art
My favorite is the SandWing in the middle
Edit: great the image quality is poor thanks tumblr
Love this design sm and the mobility aid!
WE’RE BACK, BABY- I took a weekend break because I’m sick BUT I am working out the plot for a story with these goobers.
As I do, I’m making references. Here’s another!! Outback is the town clayworker, and she’s known all over the Kingdom of Sand for her pottery. It’s truly beautiful, and very therapeutic to make.
More info on her and her mobility aid below:
She usually moves using her tail to prop herself up so she doesn't drag on the ground, propelling with her front legs or using her wing edges as extra stability (AKA, as backup back legs). She does the wing thing less, it’s a bit of a strain to support her entire body with her shoulders.
When she's on flat, stable paths, she uses the wheelchair specifically designed for her by Titanoboa.
Originally I conceptualized that she’d almost exclusively use her wheelchair without moving around otherwise. Then I realized that a, it’d be too heavy to fly with, and b, those wheels would not work well in sand. They’re designed with tiny grooves, but not made to withstand the sandy environment to its fullest. Those are for traction.
Titanoboa offered her a set of prosthetics. Outback refused. She wants to know how to mobilize without any help in case anything goes wrong. As it often did under Burn.
