Time for another request: Moonwatcher, suggested by @steve-the-dino! For this one I thought it’d be fun to try drawing Moon in both my retro style and my “normal” style with some of my own WoF headcanons. My style isn’t super consistent, so I took the opportunity to try out some new brushes and techniques.
Retro moon has been simplified a little since the last time I drew her. She no longer has spikes on her head, and the small line of spikes on her tail have been replaced with three large ones. I like to give her the same heart-shaped nose that I give Clearsight, and big, soft eyes. I think in a Bluth movie, she’d be portrayed as introverted, bashful, and kind—perhaps to a fault.
My personal Moon design looks a LOT different. Her colors are far less saturated, and I like to give her a bit of iridescence, as she’s said to be multicolored in the books. I also make the scales on her back very light as if she’s always being washed in moonlight. I like to think that NightWings look otherworldly compared to other tribes, so instead of horns, I give them an alien-looking crest. I think the next time I draw Moon I’m going to give her a lot more purple. A lot of people portray her as green because of the cover, but I think in the books she was described as purple and blue!
In both designs, I give Moon green eyes and bright silver scales. In retro drawings, I’d make her about the same size as the rest of the Jade Winglet, but otherwise I headcanon NightWings being one of the smaller tribes. Moon is bigger than the average NightWing in both height and build, since she grew up in the rainforest instead of on the volcano. Large, round shapes can portray both softness and strength, and while the former certainly applies to Moon, I think she’s physically quite adept as well.
Just in case you forget this exists.
It exists.
Updated Nyx a bit
The first test for our WLED board codename "Sparkle Motion" 🌈💖💡 … 🐇⏳🌌
We got our WLED-friend PCBs today, and we only made one mistake: the wrong resistor on the 3.3V feedback line. Now that it's fixed, the board seems to work great with the latest version of WLED
We are checking all 4 signal outputs with this handy 256-LED grid that sits on our desk. Next, we will test the onboard IR receiver, USB PD, I2S microphone, extra I/O pins, and I2C. We'll also do an Arduino IDE board definition in case folks want to use it as a generic ESP32-to-LED-driver board. We're calling the board "Sparkle Motion" for now, but if you have other naming ideas, let us know - if we pick your name, you get a free board
Sign up, coming soon.
Walk Cycle SPEED RUN¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh no the brain rot.
I'm not going to make it out of this one
Hopefully this will turn into an Icicle AMV when I'm done but I have no idea when I'll run out of energy here.
Almost didn't post this as it's just a WIP, but I'm not sure if I'll actually finish this and I like the body segments.
IceWings have a different body shape compared to NightWings. Hard
It smells and sounds like spring
I always assumed boats were used for hauling cargo like large loads of fish or whale pieces. Keeping sharks away from them and maybe adding a top to keep the birds off
OK HEAR ME OUT:
it's cannon that dragons wear glasses, but, like, what about seawings? Obviously you can't wear glasses underwater. Do you think they have like- some super cool special glasses??? I don't think it was ever mentioned in the series, nor do we meet a seawing with glasses.
WELL, WHAT IF:
That's why boats exist! It is cannon that boats exist and are used by seawings. Maybe seawings who can't swim large distances underwater because they need glasses sail instead? IDK IT SEEMS COOL
BUT TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK I'M KINDA STUPID
Something I've always been interested in is the wof constalations. They have different moons, a different sky. Do they have a Northern navigating star? Perhaps their maps point southward to a hidden pole because of this.
Legends and stories use the stars to explain our world. What stories do their skies tell?
My little wof OC Asterism.
This is a Nightwing/Icewing hybrid named Orca. He has a brother named Narwhal and a sister named Penguin. This is a personal OC of mine!
What’s your favorite tribe? 👁️ I can never pick one. It’s different every week lol.
Once you start thinking about humans as a species in a biome, it affects your entire way of looking at normal things.
The other day I referred to female morning joggers as an 'indicator species' in that if you see women jogging in the dark it means that the environment provides migration pathways (sidewalks, clear signs) and doesn't have any known predators of female morning joggers (guy with knife, bear, BigTruck, male morning joggers).
Though, I think that people consider framing humans as animals reacting to their environment as rude.

I like Wings of Fire and Cult of The Lamb. I like to animate and I'm still struggling to find my own art style
