This Is A Nightwing/Icewing Hybrid Named Orca. He Has A Brother Named Narwhal And A Sister Named Penguin.

Dang, how long did this even take??!! It's beautiful and has so many complicated design details. Wow

🐺 Happy Halloween 😈

There is a new animation competition being hosted by cloud kid. https://cloudkid.squarespace.com/bad-meme-competition

I'm a big fan of these competitions even if I don't do so well on them. Though so far I'm pretty proud of this loop.

Might draw fanart of this if I can remember.

I've been thinking about what the outcome would be if Icicle actually fought Glacier. and well, I think I have an outcome that would make a nice little short story. Icicle lay on a bed within the palace infirmary. To her, today would have been better if she had just died. She had assumed the worst outcome to challenging her aunt would be her death. Icicle knew that at the end of this day, she would either sit upon the throne of the icewings, or be dead. She never considered this outcome. Her rear right claw, what is left of it, lay bandaged, the blue blood staining the bandages. “What good is a daughter who fails at her only purpose!” The words of her mother rang in her head. This is the single worst day of her life, and the reason just walked through the doorway. “Princess Icicle?” A shiver went down her spine as Icicle raised her head. Trying to get up to stand at attention. “No no, don’t get up. I don’t want you to pass out.” Icicle shifted in the bed. “So, have you come to banish me to some far off island?” Glacier did her best to comfort her previous challenger. “Actually, I don’t want you to go anywhere.” Icicle looks rather surprised. “From this day forward. Your mother and father are relieved of authority over you. From now on. You answer to me and me alone.” Icicle takes a minute to respond “why? Why are doing this?” Glacier lets out a sigh. “Because I never cared for how your parents have treated you. To Tundra, to Narwhal, they have ever only seen you has a tool to gain power. To kill me, and be the power behind the throne with you as queen. They manipulated you, never truly caring about the dragoness that they were supposed to protect and raise.” Glacier breathed in, then let out another sigh. “So no, you are not banished. In fact, I would prefer if you remained on palace grounds for the foreseeable future. So please, rest up, it will take time for you to heal.We'll talk about what comes next tomorrow.”... (end of WIP)

about to drop literally the sickest insider knowledge you will ever receive pls use it responsibly:

are you a teenager? do you wish you had the space & resources & organization to do a thing, whether that's an anime club or a movie night or a big craft workshop or creative writing group or literally whatever? would you like to do your thing totally for free? yes?

okay, then bring it up to a librarian

seriously, teenagers are the absolute hardest group to engage at most libraries & we'll often organize programs that absolutely no one will show up to & it sucks. if you go up to a public librarian & say "hey, some friends & i want to do this thing. does that sound like a feasible teen program for the library?" most people will move heaven & earth to pull it off for you because we know there's an interest in our community. we will go balls to the freaking wall to make it happen

do you want a cosplay contest? a video game tournament? a free escape room? bring it up to the library. it's not a burden or an annoyance at all. it'll be like christmas came early for us

It’s revealed Clay and Peril were absent from arc 3 because they were busy making one of the protagonists for arc 5

I was gonna list the DoD as well but I didn’t want people getting confused and mixed up in what I meant-

lipsync test wip that ive been working on!!!

This guy isn't really a character, just a different angle I wanted to practice. I love night wings with green undertones. But the detective character I made with the browns surprised me with how good the colors look.
