Liked this OC so I drew it. I just really like the idea of a dragonet having absorbed their twin being able to live a fairly normal life despite their differences

I also wanted to experiment with simplistic background designs and funny textures.

Another stinker!! I made Scorch and then fell in love with the idea of branching tails.

Tokay doesn’t have a mutation like he does, she absorbed her twin in her egg and now has a mini wing, a branching tail, and a spare left horn just above her ear! None of these have ever bothered her and the scales change color just fine.

She’s like most other Rainwings, rather unadventurous and enjoying her sun time, but she’s very smart and cares deeply for her tribe.

What's your opinion on Chameleon? (I'm still confused how he learned to read and write when rainwings don't have literature from what I remember, but apparently his handwriting is also horrible.)

Rainwings do indeed not have literature, or a concept of currency or wealth for that matter. But keep in mind that Chameleon was banished from his tribe and spent a significant portion of his life outside the rain forest. Presumably he picked up a rudimentary understanding of how to read while having to live within these new environments.

We don't really know where he went, if I recall correctly--outside of the fact that he eventually wound up in the Sky Kingdom, presumably after Scarlet found him and made him her newest toy.

While thinking about this question, I settled on a personal headcanon that, after he was exiled from the Rain Kingdom, he ended up in the desert at first. Either at the Scorpion Den, or some outlier Sandwing town that went unmentioned in the books (I like to imagine the continent bigger, with a lot of smaller dragon settlements dotted around in every territory in addition to the big ones).

In the desert, unsure of how to subsist in this unfamiliar climate, Chameleon temporarily got roped into the service of some Sandwing merchant who owned the dragon equivalent of a pawn shop/curiosity store. There he was taught enough to be able to read labels and sort merchandise correctly, and figured out the very basics of literacy from that.

As a bonus, this kind of background would also put him into proximity of antique items which might explain how he eventually came into possession of Darkstalker's scroll. It also introduces him to the concept of personal wealth (Sandwings being a particularly mercantile and materialistic tribe) and informs his later obsession with acquiring it. And lastly it tells us how he turned villainous, as being forced to work in retail for long enough will turn even the most patient and virtuous of souls to the brink.

I’ve had awful art block lately, but Scarlet has set me free.

My headcanon voice for her is Susan Sarandon’s portrayal of Queen Narissa from Enchanted. It’s perfectly villainous, theatrical, on the deeper side, and has a fittingly raspy quality to it. It helps that many of Narissa’s lines sound exactly like something Scarlet would say. I ended up listening to her lines on loop for the duration of this sketch. Also ended up drawing inspiration from her for Scarlet’s physical appearance as well. They’re both evil queens so it fits.

Final sketch paired with my first iteration. Didn’t give her any jewelry this time around but I’ve got some concepts in the works.

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.

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

This scene from one of the Suicide Squad movies reminded me of team ENA so I had to animate it ✨This drawing helped me a lot with the posing of the shotgun!!
