#winged people

[crowwingedangel]

Finished commission of IO for @scribbly-blue-hearts! She was a lot of fun to do, as wings are my favorite thing to draw and color!

I read Sirocco to prep. Read it all in one day, due to enjoying it and flight delays as I was traveling! Ironic, really.

I'm still on a winged humans kick, this time feat. slight redesigns of Remarried Empress characters

[leafandart]

Definitely the most ambitious thing I've drawn, I started this before November, paused for nanowrimo, and finished right after that. The characters belong to @scribbly-blue-hearts and are the Sirocco sisters meeting up at a national park!

Progress shots after the break!

I wasn't sure what the hair and appearance designs were like for the others so I made them up. The order I coloured their wings in, from roughly the simplest to hardest, both in design and in angle, ended up being Sept, Ashta, Jiu, Fyra, Satu, Zwei, IO, San, Zes and Cinco, roughly. A big thank you to @akaiitori for the help on Cinco!

PJO wing AU Masterpost!!

The idea of the AU is that each demigod sprouts wings as they come into their powers and identity as a half-blood. This art is just for demigods with avian wings, but it works the same for bat wings too. Insect wings are a whole different beast that I will tackle later. The idea is that each individual gets human-sized wings of a species based on their godly parentage, personality, and other mysterious factors!

Links to my other posts about the AU- I'll try to keep it updated! ~ Percy Jackson ~ Will Solace ~ Nico DiAngelo ~

I really wanted to try and emphasize the inhumanity of the half-bloods in this AU by actually changing their fundamental physiology, because I really think it gets glossed over a lot that the demigods are literally not fully human. I imagine that the process of growing the wings is incredibly uncomfortable and at points painful, but is made a lot easier by access to Apollo cabin healers with nectar and ambrosia. The anatomy of it all is enabled entirely by magic, so there would be structures to allow wing movement, but without the magical element flight would be impossible. Here is an idea of the skeletal structure we are working with here:

(I am by no means an expert in human or avian skeletal anatomy- feel free to correct any egregious errors here lol) I imagine that there would be plenty of additional muscles that develop along with the wings, but I do not want to really figure that out. I think that with the aid of magic these muscles would be inconspicuous enough to not significantly affect a demigods general stature — remember that we are not going for exact anatomical plausibility here — and so I will not bother to figure that out unless I have to.

I have so many more thoughts on this and I plan to post a lot more about this AU, so be on the lookout for that if you are interested! Feel free to ask questions or voice constructive criticism, all is very appreciated! 💜

Spoooktober Prompt #23

"I like your wings," the bat-person said.

"Thanks, I like yours," said the crow-person.

"You want to...fly around sometime?"

Thank you so much @cha-melodius for the tag!!!

Here's a snippet from my chapter of the Collaborative 5+1 Winged Spies Fic, now titled "Isle of Flightless Birds"

The shuddering breath Solo took echoed in the cavernous space. His mind spun with hazy images he thought he had forgotten. A dimly lit room with a single leather chair. Silver shears slicing cleaning through keratin. Two wingless men far stronger than he had been. Drugged whiskey and wicked laughter. And in the end; resignation. Grief, memory, phantom pain, phantom hands. It all should have spurred him onwards, solidified his resolve to find Illya, to save him from the same fate. A worse fate. Instead, it tilted the world on its axis. The flashlight clattered to the ground with the force of a bomb and he went down in a flurry of ruddy brown as his wings fought to keep him upright. The wind from the force of the beating appendages stirred the plucked feathers into a whirlwind of color that made bile rise in his throat. Solo couldn't breathe, he couldn't think, he couldn't move. Distantly, he heard his name, then hands framed his face. Solo flinched away from the touch, some far corner of his mind crying out a desperate “Not again.”

No points for guessing what's reignited my love for winged people

[leafandart]

I don't draw winged people actually fly often enough, so I did this at the start of 2023, it turned out nice!

Were you ever hypnotized by the way the moonlight dances on the water at night? 🌙✨🌊 Imagine if she was a person! (print)
