How are humanoids with bat wings supposed to wear crop tops or two-piece outfits??
very sexily
(image description: a bat humanoid wearing a two piece outfit held together in the middle with a pair of crossed chains. the crop top portion is a dark red with a circular lace pattern. it has a collar and upper arm bands holding it in place, because there is no room for it to go around the back with the wings in the way. the lower half of their outfit is a pair of baggy dark blue pants with a light grid pattern on them. the pants dip low under their tail and rise higher on their belly, held up by the chains that connect to the crop top. they also have multiple ear piercings, a choker, and a pair of bracelets. end description.)
as long as there's a way to ensure that their clothes stay on, you can get as creative as you please!

*slides a Molopoly 100*
May we please see more of the bat? I love Lunala and youre was super cool. Was that bone around its neck?
Yup, it is very much bone.
Lunala and Solgaleo are still very much revered as deities in many parts of Alola. Though depictions of them can vary wildly.
#my art#pokemon#Lunala#Pokémon but worse!#I feel like I should give them an extra pair of wings/some funky wing membrane to really sell that moon silhouette.

white kyurem and black kyurem?
#white kyurem#black kyurem#kyurem#zekrom#reshiram#pokemon#pokemon bw#unova#kyubert#trainer hilbert#hilbert#he’s in there#art#again. black kyurem is quadrupedal. also if he was normal he would be slightly smaller/his wing#membrane wouldn’t glow. but he’s like 5% closer to having the same mass as the#original dragon here so just ever so slightly closer to looking like it

Couples See Man-Sized Bird…Creature…Something!
a few mothman sketches to celebrate us finally running into it in our Delta Green campaign. surely this isn't an omen of anything
#mothman#cryptid#delta green#operation: silent mountain#obsessed with drawing mothman like it's 2016 again. getting back to my roots#i don't imagine it having feathers. it's covered in smooth thick fur like an otter or pterosaur pycnofibers#over stretchy membranous ''wings'' like a colugo#sketch#roz can have little a specbio. as a treat#obviously in this case i don't think it's an actual biological organism but we don't know much about it yet#artists on tumblr

Wof design idea: 🧬🍄🪸
I clipped a random pic of a coral reef onto them and painted all their colors that way <3
#my art#wof#wings of fire#rainwing#I Imagine they have some kinda mutation that causes their wing membrane to grow in uneven patterns! not based on anything specific tho#just the wobbly shape of coral

couldnt decide on drawing fish or horsies
#the first one is bc I was totk infodumping and I was like yoo what if the other races lived in the depths at some point too#like. there are statues that depict each of the races but no evidence they actually lived down there#it would be so cool if we had stories of Zora that lived in the depths and changed from being in the dark for so long. like their scales#glowed and they grew long fins to feel and smell in the dark. we could have Zora based on deep sea creatures#the other one I wanted to do was depths rito but there are so few documented nocturnal birds. even less people associate with darkness#so it would have been mostly owls but maybe kiwi and nightjars. rito are so hard to draw#the other thing I was thinking was they evolved again and turned into bats. theyre pretty damn good at evolving so why not#but then my brain was like horsies. so I drew bat fluttershy#I want to give her a bat nose and membrane.. apparently the mane 6 turn her back but she grows a fang. but I also want her to have bat#wings under her feathers. like it looks like normal Pegasus wings from the outside but the inside is lined like a bats wing with membrane yk#femoral membrane and leaf nose also. maybe she gets quieter flying and better night vision plssss#discord also for fun but I wanna stylize him tmrw#my art#myart#doodles#mlp#my little pony#mlp fluttershy#mlp discord#loz#botw#totk#botw zora#eye contact#scopo

A LITTLE ARVO REVAMP. bcs aspects of his design didnt really feel fitting for him AND i wanted to include the different breeding plumage gray herons have in his design!! also have a bonus of his "real" human design as well taking this one into account
really the difference is just the feet and face pattern gets slightly more saturated during the warmer months xD again this is what he "really" looks like - the solid colour silhouette is metatextual for the most part
#oc#original character#basilisk#fantasy#creature design#pareidolia tag#oc: arvo#dragon#gray heron#BYE HIS SUPER YELLOW WING MEMBRANE im sorry it was just too gaudy for him xD#also the feather pants bcs again i wanted to make it more clear that he lacks more feathers than most basilisks

Do you have any critique for the designs of the Mudwings or Rainwings (from the Wings of Fire novels?)
okay, you know, i think i am going to just use this as a chance to talk about the most common pitfalls for dragon wing designs.
Wings of Fire designs are fine. the style is nice, the dragon designs are each unique enough from each other to stand out in their context. i can handwave some things about their anatomy because of the more cartoonized style and i will ignore the trope of making the evil dragons look distinctly more animalistic because it's clearly a series made for a younger audience.
but it still falls into the exact same dragon wing design problems i see absolutely everywhere. I've done it, you've done it, every single person who has ever tried to design a dragon in any style has done this. my points here are all based on the most common dragon wing type, which is the bat-like wing.
lack of patagium (the membrane between the shoulder and wrist) the Wings of Fire dragons are a bit awkward because some of them do have it and some of them do not and there does not seem to be a reason for this difference. the patagium is important! you really should have it on any dragon with that bat-like wing shape.
wing fingers extending past the membrane, especially with claws included. why are they doing that. when are those claws going to get used. wing fingers are built for the specific purpose of moving the wing. the only finger that should be extending out on its own with a claw is the thumb. unless you want to do pterosaur wings, in which case there are a few forward-facing fingers and one very long finger acting as the wing frame. honestly, more dragons should have pterosaur wings, they're an actual real life flying reptile and some of them were huge. please, we need more pterosaur-winged dragons.
membrane being way too deeply scooped between the fingers even when the wing is extended. this one makes me think people just don't actually know how wing membranes work. they are not a stiff material at all, but a very flexible type of skin. it should fold up between the fingers and near the body when the wing is withdrawn, but stretch out tight when the wing is extended. i know the scooped shape Looks Cooler but it's not very functional.
wing fingers being too stiff. those things move! they bend! they're very bendy! bats fly with a lot of finger curling. here are a few videos in slow motion that show the fingers and the flexible membrane really well: video 1. video 2. video 3. a lot of dragon designs i see just use the shoulder of the wing as the main point of motion. they won't even change the elbow angle. now, the elbow will never be fully straight in flight, but it should move too! I think one of the reasons people don't do this right is that it's just easier to use fewer points of motion in animation and obviously all dragons in motion are animated ones. but when you see it even on the hyper realistic style of dragons in things like Game of Thrones, it gets pretty frustrating. make those wings flex more. (and by mentioning the GoT dragons, I know they do move more than just the shoulder, but even their wing finger motion is very stiff, like the fingers only have one joint and the membrane doesn't move as much as it should)
elbow strut. you know what i mean. that weird little bone strut on the elbow on like every dragon design ever. it gets in the way of some very important membrane motion. it does not exist in any real life membranous wing that i am aware of. the closest you can argue for is that the yi qi, a dinosaur that might have had a membranous wing and also feathers, does have an odd strut-like bone and we don't know exactly how it was positioned. but from what i've seen, there is at least a consensus that it was connected to the wing hand, not the elbow. it might have been positioned parallel to the forearm and thus would create a strut-like shape extending at the elbow, but that's not how people draw the elbow strut on dragons. it always looks like there's just a weird stick attached to their joint. it serves no purpose. the reason people do this on their dragons is because they design the membrane poorly and need to add a strut to give the wing a bigger membrane. but this can be avoided if you just attach the membrane lower on the body to give it more surface area, and also let it stretch taut instead of making it scooped like it's slack even when the wing is extended. just do more studies of bat wings in motion and you'll have a better understanding of how your bat-like dragon wings should work.

Part one of my Meta Knight doodledump. The theme here is that I wanted to focus on his wings.
#meta knight#yes i believe the membranes of his wings might get sunburn sometimes#he do a big stretch#he nuzzles and massages his wings to groom them just like bats do#feels good releases endorphins#metadede#implied#i guess#borbdoodles

Hold my head inside your hands I need someone who understands I need someone, someone who hears For you, I've waited all these years For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come Until my day, my day is done And say you'll come and set me free Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
~*~*~
holy hell I think it's done? I don't normally do much fanart but my brother and I wanted to understand why all the tumblr girlies are so obsessed with these day old men so we binged this show which immediately grabbed me by the throat and hurled me into the gay old men fervor and wouldn't let me do anything else until I finished some kind of tribute ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
few more process shots+thoughts beneath the cut ♥
okay so I know you have to be kinda careful about making someone's face all black... but I usually dislike clearly human halves on most monster designs, and red wouldn't work either, so I just kind of tried to lighten it closer to the orangey scales on his snake face and hope it worked out?
you can see the other design ideas I had for naga!crowley in the thumbnail sketch but it diverged enough that actually I'm gonna probably just keep that as a separate design for perhaps a future character, like a tiefling/salamander npc for the next campaign perhaps 🤔
this one took a lot longer than usual due to trying to actually somewhat accurately capture an existing person's face, trying to put more effort into detailing the scales, and a style of hair I don't draw as often haha. wahoo @ being able to rather fittingly apply my monsterpeople habits to some fanart for once :)
I immediately threw together a playlist for them that I keep listening to on repeat and "til kingdom come" is the last song on there, which has been giving me blorbo heart hurty for over a decade now
genuinely felt a tangible kind of relief like 'ahhhh...' when I finished the lines cause this art was all-consuming til I let it out 8') I really really wanna keep drawing these two but feel like a week or two is all I can reasonably take away from commissions at the moment... but if I can power through another real quick maybe I'll allow myself some smorching doodles heehee

Big kirby themed doodle page after re-playing Planet Robobot!!!!
I love this franchise, and definetly do not have a biast for one specific blue knight guy.
[Variation of the MK doodle with his mask undercut]
He should get dark wing membranes, as a treat/silly
#beetle's ramblings#beetle's art#meta knight#kirby#kirby fanart#“”GET OUT OF MY HEADDD!!!!!“”/silly#I think susie's little “This guy is cool so I made him a cyborg security guard!!!” ordeal should have left a stain#with a few membrane scars in the same areas where his stiff mechanic wings had screws#I do not want to know how she even set the whole model up#putting that aside I love these two#Pink demon and his goofy uncle <33#kirby series
