I couldn't get this image out of my head and I had to do it.
This is Reah after returning from her fun meeting at the hotpot by @nanomii and supported by @catofaurora
I think two people mentioned that they wanted to draw the whole group already, so I resisted doing it myself.
Also quick mention to @danelloevee-sky whose collaboration to the hotpot is what made me make the video.
‼Flashing lights (actually it's just a character that changes color in rainbow colors but better to be safe)
Serene and her friends always being corrupted by darkness
This is an interaction that I asked @mushroomskykid for permission to draw, well actually I asked her if I could draw serene hugging nana, since in our hearts they are friends, but I think it came out more dramatic than it was supposed to be.
I think Serene would be very worried, she doesn't have very good experiences with … dark plants growing in the body of a loved one and knowing nana since they were just a little skykid hurts me in my heart.
Please Nana be strong, The strongest mushroom
Too weak to reach, too silent to be heard, butterflies do not help those who cannot sing
But you all exist to help others so it was only a matter of time before you were found
I wonder what he saw in you at that time...
Moth Serene and her adoptive father/veteran
I wanted to get this idea out of my head, I'm not really that good at making scenery, I just painted over screenshots to make my job of creating an environment easier.
I wanted to write something nice but nothing comes to mind. Well, Altair and orion looking at a huge krill coming out of the storm clouds.
I just don't know how to draw clouds so if you see water, it works too.
I usually upload one drawing a day but I wanted to draw this before it was too late
I saw many posts saying "how sad how Stewie walks alone"
But Stewie never marches alone, they always has a bunch of skykids that march with them… It reminds me of the phrase from this comic "people say that everyone is destined to find their constellation"
Do you think we are Stewie's constellation? After all, Stewie is now the one who receives the new moths, perhaps they will never be so loved by many veterans and revival will not be the favorite season, but even so… I like to see every time how they makes they march on the festival and everyone follows them, moths, butterflies and veterans alike c:
"She is the type of girl who dances simply because she feels happy, who invites you to dance with her and makes you forget that anyone may be watching, without masks, without lies, simply being herself."
I promise this is the last drawing of her dancing, but I needed to draw her dancing alone
some poses look strange, they looked better in the sketch asfaf
A young skykid from the limits between Hidden forest and Daylight Prairie, after being adopted under the wings of the forest witch, Orion seeks to rebuild his life. Despite having been a moth with great aspirations, now his only dream is to live a quiet life where everything that happened in the past will not find him again.
I'm making full bodies of all the characters just for fun, I hope this is Orion's final design, I keep changing his cape
"Oh child of the stars
This sacrifice has been my decision
And yet you have saved me from my own carelessness
It is not my job to intervene but
a light such as yours must return to its mother's wings
not be consumed by the darkness of this place
Burn again little candle
Your light is still needed" 🦌🌙

Today Serene is one year old, on March 19th that little star fell on the Sky lands 🎉🎉🎉
Well pluto made a fanart of my snail, so I think I should make my own post
A few weeks ago I made a drawing in magma of a dark worm like the one we have now but smaller in Serene's arms (this one)
Shortly after I saw the radio that came out in the board missions and I said "oh! another sound making machine that uses a sea shell" and since then I have been with the idea of making a Snail? of light that reacts to music.
@plutonium-sky encouraged me and gave me some ideas on development, snail references and the idea of imitating sounds!
Will I use these creatures? I'll probably give Serene one as a pet that start as a smal dark worm, because I have no self-control.
It's a creature invented just for fun! so information under the cut!
This is my purified version of the Dark worm
These snails existed in large numbers in rivers and seas during the time of ancestors.
They can hum to the rhythm of music, if you teach them they can imitate sounds and even imitate words
Their size varies, they spend a lot of time between the range in which they fall in your hand and the size of a mantatee.
But if this snail has an ideal environment they can live long enough to grow quite large, something common in the past, now something quite unlikely due to pollution.
They are born looking like a sea slug, but when they feel ready they use a kind of light silk to create their own sea shell.
This sea shell is capable of storing sound in it, the most common being the sound of the sea or flowing water, but not the only one.
They can fly just like Mantatees and sanctuary whales, but they spend most of their lives in the water, only using their ability to fly when It's time to return to the cycle, eating their own sea shell and embarking on the journey to Eden like every creature of light.
A snail that does not feel safe or healthy will not create its silk, much less its shell, but there are ways to force it.
The ancestors found this ability to store sound striking, it was common to see them being sold as a nice decoration for the home, then they discovered that they could store different melodies in them and different devices were created.
Sonorous Sea Shells were very popular especially in Valley
There were many attempts to create a replica of this sea shell, but there was no material that could match the light silk that these snails produced, they were necessary to manufacture it.
The industrial use of these poor creatures and the pollution in the snails' environment brought them to the brink of extinction.
Remember I said I was weak? I swear I don't have favorites… well maybe a little
I made a version with the original colors and a version with pink because I feel that pink is like the main color in Serene's design
I really like both of them honestly
Serene is like the doll to dress up, all the dresses go for her that's why I almost don't have female characters
I also changed the shape of her horns again, I really like them like that, it's like they were coral.
"There was a time when I doubted whether I should continue, mother gave me the opportunity to choose to stay in the stars with all those exhausted, bored or just very scared.
But I didn't want to abandon this journey, I just wanted to be free like the birds in the sky, choosing their own destiny….
Honestly, I love this world too much to leave, I dream of the day when our work is done and I can see it shining as it always should be".
today with the drawing of the heights of the characters, I felt like talking a little bit about Reah, so it's time, I'll talk a little bit about her under the cut for those who want to read
Reah, hearth and icarus were affected by something in the past, the reason why reah has her wings fused with her arms and also why she is so tall and has sharp teeth.
Her wings/arms do not function properly as either wings or arms, Her wings are too heavy and short to compensate for her height and the shape makes all her movements awkward. Reah moves mainly by walking or gliding and rarely flies. She usually walks bent over which makes her look a bit shorter, feathers are oddly heavy so at this point in her life that she has two children, she leaves the hard work to “the younger ones” and she just spends time at home or taking care of her large number of pets as she calls them (she has a sort of light creature sanctuary in a cave under her house xd).
I think all the time she lived alone before meeting Orion and Berk took its toll on her and her mental sanity is a bit questionable, I'd say she's a bit morally gray.
Her previous loneliness was self-induced, she has no interest in other skykids, but she has a soft spot for moths in the sense that she wouldn't be able to harm them and has no pity for those who intentionally harm moths. A veteran skykid? be on your own, moth? come with me baby, I'll take care of you.
Anyway, most of the moths run away from her and most of the grown skykids prefer to avoid her (too tall, feral, looks like she is going to eat you, I don't know, I would avoid her too).
Berk stayed with her because reah saved Taro and he said “she is my fren now”.
Orion, orion was kidnapped, there is no other way to describe it, Reah found a dirty fox in the middle of the forest and tamed it, end of story.
Sometimes I still see her dancing on the grass of that hill, she always liked the butterflies but somehow they always ran away from her, dancing was the only way she had to get their attention.
It is ironic, after all that happened that hill is still the same, the same grass, the same butterflies, the same sunny days, nothing has changed, except that nobody dances there anymore.
I made this drawing yesterday, I used a picture of an ice skater I found as a reference
For some reason I keep changing her cape, although if I'm honest they're just variations of the ultimate cape from the deer's season
I'll probably draw serene in other outfits in the future too, could it be considered the same skykid if I change all her items? (I think the mask and horns will never change I guess)
