Master Cyclonis (Storm Hawks) Fan Art

It took me 4 days to do this, but I like how it turned out. I'm still new to backgrounds but I thought it worked out for the image I had. The weapon she uses is more simplified because I honestly had no clue how to work around it.

This is a canonical event it had to happen sooner or later

This is my favorite moment from "atmos' most wanted"

i think we should talk more about the fact that aerrow threatened to BLOW UP a entire terra with the squadrons, the knights, his friends and himself in it. Obviously he wasn't serious but no one can deny that he sounded very convincing

. . . For the rests

[nightfall-kachiniko]

please please PLEASEE let me yap about keigos hand placement for a minute!!!!

oh this man is experienced; he knows what he's doing. from placing his hand on your neck to kiss you to holding your waist tightly against him as you sleep, this man does it all. he just loves touching your body, and maybe that's why sometimes a simple hand on your thigh while he's driving leads to you two pulling over at a rest stop...

Why do Skimmers need Wings?

Hey everyone, and today we’ve got a talk straight from the aviation engineer’s notebook about how this thing flies. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The question might surprise some, because everyone knows that wings are needed to fly. Let’s get this straight, that’s true, but in the case of Skimmers, they serve a slightly different function than in classical aviation, and we’ll try to figure out which one right now. Let’s go.

How Wings Work in Classical Aviation

So, first some theory. If you want to be ultra-brief, a wing has an aerodynamic profile, due to which the oncoming airflow moves over and under it at different speeds, thus creating lift. In reality, this means that for an airplane to fly, it must gain a sufficiently high speed and maintain it throughout the flight so that the wings can perform their function and keep the plane in the air. And, as you’ve probably guessed, that’s not our case. We don’t have to look far for examples; just watch the beginning of the first episode.

There are no questions for Piper’s Heliscooter: the ability to hover in one place is a hallmark of the helicopter in the real world. But there are plenty of questions for the Skimmers, as you’ve probably guessed. As we’ve already learned, airplanes need to move in order to stay in the air, and they can’t hover in one place like a helicopter, because in that case, the wing won’t be able to perform its functions. But the Skimmers don’t seem to know about this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How Wings Keep Skimmers in the Air

Well, it should be obvious by now that Skimmer wings don’t perform an aerodynamic function. However, despite this, they are an integral part of the Skimmer’s design, without which it cannot stay in the air, as confirmed by the following scene from the episode “Energy Crisis.”

As we can see, the loss of even one wing didn’t allow Aerrow to complete the maneuver, crashing his Skimmer. And this leads to a logical question: if the wings don’t perform an aerodynamic function, but their presence is mandatory, then what function do they perform? To answer this question, I suggest we turn our attention to another type of Atmosian transport, namely - ships.

As far as I understand, ships are held in the air by either levitation crystals or levitation crystal matrices. The authors, as far as I remember, don’t report the exact principle. Nevertheless, this gives us the right to assume that inside the wings there are levitation pontoons that are activated at the time of deployment. Thus, this assumption closes both questions at once: how the Skimmer can stay in one place and why it can’t fly without wings. However, there’s one question in all of this that remains unanswered:

Why is there a Heliscooter?

The most attentive will probably have already noticed that this transport is very unsafe. When your head is so close to the rotating blades, and you still need to fight at that moment, nothing good for the pilot is clearly going to come out of it. Moreover, since the Heliscooter is held in the air by a downward-directed airflow, then it simply cannot help but blow the pilot, sitting neatly under the propeller. The pleasure of flying on this must be at least below average, and there are no obvious advantages of this machine over the Skimmer. Nevertheless, the fact is the fact, and it must be taken into account.

In my opinion, its existence could be justified economically. Perhaps crystal levitation systems are expensive, and such a machine, although it has a number of significant disadvantages, may still be more affordable than a Skimmer. Although, looking at the almost ubiquitous use of Skimmers and the SUDDEN use of the Heliscooter by the Colonel, this thought seems doubtful.

Though… maybe he’s just an adrenaline junkie. Or he likes the cold, who knows? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And that’s all for today. Thank you all for your attention, bye!

huuuuge burn out but i found out i don't have cancer so thats pretty goooood i would say! ofc i choose now of all times to draw my one (1) annual storm hawks picture. and obviously its stork bc it's always gonna b stork duhhh. anyway regular work will commence like. soon.

So does anyone remember Storm Hawks

[rin-henricov]

At the Nuremberg trials this will be valuable case material.

For those who know, Stork's entire monologue is a big reference to Disney's Atlantis.

They're negotiating something. Don't bother them.

Cleaned up a sketch I did of them around Valentines day !

They're taking a picture together 🖼️

commissions open :)
