*wraps You In Hug And Wings Around You*

A quick guide about my method for drawing bird wings - with focus on winged people, though this all applies to birds proper as well. It's all about weird arms with weird blankets.

I want to fly. I want to stretch my wings and glide over treetops and through mountain ranges. I want to be in the sky. I want to be able to see everything on the land. To dive and swoop, to have fun. I want to feel the wind. Yet I am cursed to stay on the ground. Limited to climbing to get up to high places. Unable to really do what I want.

made some paper claws today, absolutely love it. Theyre the correct size and everything. They are a bit stiff and fall off quite easily, but they were only ever meant to be temporary anyway. Got really strong phantom claws now, even though i took them off and am currently in my nest. Very lovely, overall :3

Thank you for letting me draw you!

Pressed Flower Wings~

Spring is here and everything is blooming around me. I just wanna paint flowers everyday

I have a blanket folded in half draped over my shoulders and arms and am wearing a long skirt. Lots of species euphoria. you may imagine me something like this:

Orcas are the largest of the dolphins and one of the world's most powerful predators. They're immediately recognizable by their distinctive black-and-white coloring. Smart and social, orcas make a wide variety of communicative sounds, and each pod has distinctive noises that its members will recognize even at a distance. They use echolocation to communicate and hunt, making sounds that travel underwater until they encounter objects, then bounce back, revealing their location, size, and shape.

so i recently found out / realised that i’m also a bird or something? Not quite sure yet what, but i’m trying to figure it out rn. The first thing that made me realise was that i randomly had phantom wings, completely unprompted. anyway, so far into today i’ve been phantom shifted basically the entire time and here are some things i’ve noticed.

first, when i close my eyes my "arms" become my wings and i’m just like a normal bird. When i open them my wings are attached to my back and i’m generally more like the typical avian-hybrid humanoid.

My feathers are brown with some pattern but i cant exactly pinpoint what pattern.

also, i can look into the mirror shifted without feeling really uncomfortable / disphoric and i can almost see my wings. Like, not actually but i know exactly where they should be in my mirror image and it doesnt make me feel weird.

and i dont like being touched on my back. It just feels very wrong.

i’m still pretty new to phantom shifts and everything cause i only really accepted and started embracing me being not being human like two or so months ago (even though i knew for far longer) so all of this is still mostly very exciting.
