#oc: ptarmigan

[willoillo]

Today's prompt for @wof-october-prompts was OCs so I drew Elegance and Ptarmigan~

Sooo fun OC backstory time -- Ptarmigan originated as "Elegance's friend Ptarmigan" where it wasn't entirely clear if he was a real person, cuz every story she told about him was wild and TOTALLY unbelievable.

Turns out no, Ptarmigan is very much real, he just LOVES telling tall tales and Elegance is the kind of dragon who takes pretty much everything she's told at face value xD

I can't show it in a black and white image but Ptarmigan is supposed to be an Icewing/Skywing hybrid? The dark scales here are a reddish-brown, like the real bird's feathers.

some stuff involving non sapient creatures in pareidolia, first image is some animals that tomtar have domesticated, second is a remake of gloson, which is a vätte but is, contrary to most other ones ive made, not a sophont and is instead domesticated by trolls. more info below the cut...

ive already talked about the tomteget in another post, so i wont go into detail about them here, but the one shown in the picture is gullmar's goat (and he is there as well as ucan see). tomtar also keep a domesticated breed of wolverine and ermine, used for some different purposes - wolverines more as guarding/herding animals and ermines to hunt. tomtar don't actually tend to hunt a lot of large prey at all, and what they do hunt is sort of limited as a lot of game birds are sacred to them due to folklore (basically ptarmigans, corvids, grouses, capercailles and things in those veins..). therefore despite how small ermines are they can hunt most of the quarry they prefer such as hares, ducks etc - especially bcs the tomte variety of ermine is bred to be a bit larger and more robust. they can also just be kept as companion animals for many tomtar. wolverines meanwhile serve well as guarding and herding animals due to their size and strength. there is a notable regiment of wolverine fighters in the midlands front - where interested tomtar are trained for combat utilizing the power of the wolverine - the one pictured though is a regular herding/guarding animal though. there are probably some smaller tomte hunting groups that try to go for bigger game with them such as wolves etc. but its definitely pretty unusual. tomteget goats are basically universal across tomte cultures, but the tomte wolverines and ermines are a bit more limited, more occuring in northern cultures historically. although as time goes on they have been spread further south, especially as the midlands front was established and increased the communicative network between different disparate tomte societies. 2. this is just a remake of the gloson from that older post bcs i wasnt really happy with the design - its a laaaaarge animal but didnt really feel like it proportionally bcs i stuck too closely to the normal eu swine proportions... things are mostly the same about them though. the orange parts of the horns glow!

Redesign of my very old oc Olivia, we posted her alot, but not here on Tumblr, so she is new here

Anyway here is she

More drawings and old design down ⬇

She have best pal and their name is Lark, they hang out alot, Lark doesn't belongs to me it belongs to my bro

Her old designs, we were redesigning her for some time now

I planned her design for very long time, so here is my sona and her

She was quite aggressive in past, like she murder people, her main enemy was Evie and they hated eachother, now it's all toned down, and we changed her personality, so yeah, they will met in future again

That's all more of her in future

Olivia (main bro in this drawing)

Lark (fluffy bastard) doesn't belongs to me

Jason (Olivias pet)

Rest assured, he is harmless. He's just a small, petty little thing.

Just... Don't barge into my dorm room without my permission. Or his. He is a bit territorial.

I have a bit of a dilemma.

I seem to have recently acquired a companion of sorts on a recent mission to a particularly winter-y area, and... Well...

I have named him Columba, after a constellation just south of Canis Major and Lepus. I have already fitted them with their own device to stabilize their atomic resonance and avoid any upsets.

Debating whether or not I will devise a translator of sorts for Columba, unsure how much chaos that would create. We will see...

If my OCs were birds, they would look like this illustration.

New OC reference drop!! This is Ptarmigan. n_n He's kind of a shit but I love him anyway. Given that he started as "Elegance's potentially imaginary friend Ptarmigan" I think he's turned out lovely~
