Coming out of my cave to post art on here again

I'm trying ( heavy emphasis on trying 😭 ) to make designs for every arc 1 WoF character, and since mudwings are the easiest tribe for me to draw I started with clay and his siblings

Their shapes and stuff make sense in my head and have reasonings but I can't put them into words rghHHgdgGGRRRghhgfh

CHARACTERS; CLAY [ TOP LEFT ] , SORA [BOTTOM LEFT ] , UMBER [ TOP RIGHT ] , REED [ BOTTOM RIGHT ]

For Clay I wanted to make him simple, going along with him not thinking that he's anything special and not fit for the prophecy. He's still brighter than his sibs though, and has the brightest colored scales before his underbelly. (Do those have a name?? )

For Sora I wanted her kinda deer-like, with softer/less bold edges than the others. She has a scar in the same place Crane's death wound was.

For Umber I just stuck pretty closely to the canon design, adding some splotches and giving him a different shape than the others.

Finally, for Reed I just made him clay but duller, and more red. He nearly looks just like clay shape-wise, but is more inward. (I have no idea how to describe this 😭)

CHARACTERS; MARSH [ TOP LEFT ] , PHEASANT [ BOTTOM LEFT ] , CRANE [ BOTTOM RIGHT ]

I had the most fun with these guys can u tell

For Marsh I made him more sharp and edgy than the others to go with his anxious personality. His colors are very similar to Clay's, but he has splotches and light colored horns. (I love Marsh, he's underappreciated)

For Pheasant I wanted to base her off of a pheasant. Her markings are similar to those of a ring-necked pheasant, with her reds being the same as Umber's. She originally had green-ish yellow on her to go with her eyes (and also because pheasants have green on them) but I couldn't get it to work. (crying spongebob image) Her shape is more 'elegant' than her sibs. I think her design is my favorite out of all of these.

For Crane I based her lightly off of a crane. (🤯🤯🤯) She shares colors with sora and umber. (Sora because obviously, Umber because I needed his reds 😁) since really all we know about her is that she was protective of her sibs (as literally all of them are) I made her fierce and determined looking. Version without her death wound below

I got more confident in not following the canon designs super closely the more designs I made and it shows 😭😭 I never realized how much variety you can make in mudwings despite them being the 'boring' ones

adding image ID/alt texts tomorrow I needed to post this before I forgor but it's almost 12 and im tired goodnight jasper fans

i think parker’s near-invulnerability to injury must get on eliot’s nerves - as in, he simply wants to protect his team members, but it’s impossible to gauge what can actually harm parker and what requires his help. i bet he’d have some notes like:

[the snow job] she fell two storeys, onto me. claims she did not need her fall broken. no signs of pain/injury (on her. i, meanwhile, got a decently sized bruise from her elbow jabbing right into me).

[the three days of the monica hunter job] hit by car (on purpose, but hit kinda hard), entirely unaffected. mainly complained about being bitten by ants while playing dead.

[the jailhouse job] claimed she could crawl through a steam vent at 150 degrees?? and that it would take her less than 27 seconds?? maybe she just doesn’t understand steam vents…

[the san lorenzo job] CRAWLED THEOUGH A FUCKIJG STEAM VENT

[the hot potato job] stood in a literal freezer room for more than the maximum time she logically should be able to, didn’t get frostbite or hypothermia etc. additionally, no burns despite her jacket being scorched. ability to withstand extreme temperature appears to work in both directions.

[the gimme a k street job] believes most people can "walk off" a 20ft fall, was unaware that some people are afraid of falling.

[the broken wing job] fell from 45th floor (scaffolding collapse), only tore ACL + minor scrapes and bruises. most serious resulting injury was almost giving ME a goddamn heart attack.

concluding notes: i. give up.

GORETOBER DAY EIGHT

Yap below the cut

There’s so much wrong about this one, sorry for trying to colour with those stupid markers gang, should’ve known it wouldn’t end well.

Anyways this is Azure, Surf’s older sister who’s a huge biatch, and the most seawing passing of her siblings, she’s just very dark coloured.

Considering she does loose her mind (I’m making it canon on top of what I already had for her), I’m sure cannibalism crossed her mind at least once before, so fitting.

I thought it would be a little hard to tell if she was eating her own arm (also would’ve crossed her mind) or someone else’s and that’s what drove me to colour and ruin her completely

Anyways, day eight, yippee for cannibalism!! (/j)
