Did a silly
I saw that Flix might be getting redesigned and decided to do my rendition of what I'd want in a redesign! More under the cut ✦
Traits list (some are on the ref but I'll expand on them here):
I changed the palette quite a bit. I like the original black and gold, but it didn't give me space vibes, so I wanted the highlights to vary more in hue. That might be a controversial move, but I like it.
Keeping with the colour change, the blood and fire breath would probably be pink here.
The eyes are on the side of the head. This is inspired by seagulls, and sort of by their herbivory, although I would make Flix an omnivore (if not a carnivore) if I could. There aren't enough omnivores in CoS and I think it would be a better fit for Flix than herbivory.
They walk on their wings and feet like a pterosaur, just because it looks cool. Plus it makes them look a bit less like a different font of bird.
Their wings look more bat-like here. Ideally, they wouldn't; I'm just not good at replicating the canon wings. I wanted to emulate comet moth wings (because comet, like space) but I don't think I pulled it off. I could settle for feathered wings in a Flix redesign, but I have beef with feathered wings in spec evo because they're so unlikely to occur since they're such a derived structure. But CoS is already so unbelievably unrealistic that it's not even spec evo anymore, so whatever lol
The hindlegs are syndactyl, so they can perch! Their toes are also webbed, so they can actually swim! And maybe paddle around on the surface like ducks (wait that's cute... I might animate that).
They have claws on their wings. These would help with perching and perhaps climbing (like if they needed to climb a cliff instead of flying or something; maybe for stealth.
The back wings are attached to the hindleg. That's the case in the canon design too, but I bring it up here for clarity and also to add that I (and I assume the original designer) based this on microraptor's hind-wings. Microraptor beloved <333
I couldn't add them here as they'd obscure stuff even more, but I think there would be a couple more comet-shaped shards down the back. They would be floating particles, like the orbs that they keep adding to new creatures.
I gave them little star spots to make the black areas look like a night sky!
You can't see it due to the hind wings covering it, but the tail has the same gradient as the little danglies on the wings.
I just realised this version makes them look a bit like the Flickaflie, which people seem to already mix up with this guy anyway, so uh, oops. I think they're different enough.
If you have any thoughts to add to this, leave a comment! I'd love to discuss and I'm fine with criticism of this design. I might make a second rendition if I become unsatisfied enough with this. :3
Internet connection is treating me very poorly so have to post only on here for now💔
Adding Miju and Morth both was the best decision devs made in the last 5 years
I HAD SO MUCH FUN FOR SOME REASON??? At first when looking at Morthorax design I went 'Eugh that's just a Mij- WAIT IT IS OH MY GOD OH MY GOD' The possibilities, the prosperities(i just want to use this word, no idea what it means, but I just feel it). Like imagine a pack of Mijusuimas and there is just one giant Morth, how badass is this. Like some imposa. Sus. Vent or something. Especially if you have a lot of skin variation inside your pack, like, that's so cool. I am a broke mf'er so I do not have Morthorax so I went to play this saturday as a Miju that I haven't played as since like. The moment Recode came out. I got silently adopted by a full pack of Morthoraxi though, they were so wholesome and accepting of a weird new sibling(me) they have just gotten. <3 Went to look for food and almost died by the way if you are interested in this information too. I decided to not eat the food they had 'cause like, they killed it they eat it too. Also at some point there were a lot of kids in the Mesa, I am not sure at what point someone made a nest but. Kinda fun ngl. My favourite activity was to Zero call at everyone for communication, the noise is so cute and funny.
My drawings always feel so underwhelming. Hope some of you like this one anyway.
