Hallo !
I've started to notice a pattern in the hk community.
When people (not all but most) draw pk ,in bug or gijinka, they tend to hide his pretty wings or not draw them at all.
So I've decided to ask bloggers if they could show or describe the king's wings, just out of curiosity (and for my own amusement)
(Btw if you are not taking requests please forgive me, I did not wish to annoy you with my silly babbles)
Well, the pattern seems to arise from the game itself as we never see the Pale King with his wings. (Unless you believe the theory that the PK's robe ARE his wings) The only time we see the PK with wings would be in Origm's dreams as the White Defender...and the PK is far away as a light silhouette.
If artists were to draw the PK, they would not have good canon references for the PK's wings. They would be forced to rely on the dream sequence (again, a silhouette), the Hallownestian crest/seals, and the Monarch wings when Little Knight uses them. If the artist wants any references or inspiration for drawing the PK with wings, they will need to look at other fanart.
How do I know this? Only had to go through the whole process myself while creating this.
I had an idea to make Lurien a Blue Morpho Butterfly, so it was fun to draw him and the PK together with their wings. If you want to see more Lurien as a butterfly, click on the link.
I must say that I've come a long way since December with this photo. Thank you for giving me the chance to practice my drawing and editing skills!
(No need for forgiveness. I am quite honored that you asked me to do this as I mostly draw Lurien the Watcher, not the Pale King. I think this was the first time I ever drew the PK as a "bug", so it was quite the experience on top of practicing hands and lighting. Thank you!)
Cool reference and tutorial.
More notes. They are not in order by the way. There is still more stuff to say about the world building/drawing/exploring topic. I just haven't gotten to these notes yet.
This one is about lights but it's in progress as well. Feedback is welcomed
