idk I think this ultimately comes back to the obsession with the idea that the videogame is an inherently juvenile storytelling form, and that games are somehow incomplete versions of themselves. it seems very silly but many people truly believe that games cannot and never have effectively told stories. the conclusion being that a game that does have a compelling story must reach its apotheosis in a live-action TV or movie adaptation. but the fact is the game is a game in the first place bc in fact that was the most appropriate vehicle for delivering its story. i have story ideas that i know i can't write because i genuinely feel they'd only work as games or shows, not as books. different stories require different deliveries. i'm so sick of his obsession with live action adaptations being the final and best version of games and animated productions. beyond irritating.

Let's see.... *takes out a crumbled up mail and reads* "Dear Mario, I'm sorry to bother you. I know you're busy with helping out around the Mushroom Kingdom, but I have a small favor to ask. Can you deliver this to Dimentio? I'd grately appreciate it if you could. I'm a little too shy to do it myself and I've always wanted to know how it feels to be such a great villain. I'm a fan of yours and I think you deserve some spotlight in the Mario franchise. Hope you'll have time to answer this. Thanks once again Mario and I hope you have a good day! -anon"

Here you go Dimentio. You have an ask. Looks like you've got a secret admirer *smirks*

Ahahaha! A secret admirer you say? Who could it be? A mystery for me? How exciting

Let’s Draw Wings

I’ve gotten the question/request of how I draw wings lots and lots so I’ve decided to make a dedicated post!

Now…I’m no master, but I have found a way that I like to draw wings that’s efficient for me. There three main points: 

References

Simplification

Texture Management

First of all - References

My favorite wing reference of all time is this post by Jenn on Twitter. I have both the images saved but I use the Wing Shapes one, below, alllllll the time. Like for real all the time!

I also keep pretty extensive collections of wing photo reference. When I’m having trouble, I’ll trace a few or do studies to get back into the swing of things. Here are links to my Pinterest boards:

Broadwing Reference (passive soaring and high-speed)

Longwing Reference (active soaring)

Shortwing Reference (elliptical and hovering)

Secondly - Simplification

When I sketch wings, I simplify Jenn’s diagram even further -

For me, the key to drawing wings is simplifying the wing down - from the structure to the feathers - the goal for me is to be able to draw them quickly and have the proper information conveyed. It needs to look like a wing in the base sketch. If it doesn’t, no amount of rendering and extra feathers will help. I like to break the wing into the three main moving parts. The orange is one part, then the purple contains two main chunks feathers that you can group together and move as their own parts. 

On top of that, I like to think of wings like a sheet of paper. They can bend and fold in on themselves, with the orange meaty bits anchoring everything together. 

Lastly - Texture

I like to call wings “texture monsters”. Feathers are hard to manage and can easily make wings look over-busy and muddy. Just like before, I break the wing into chunks so I can spend less time drawing the wing and it’s feathers:

Then you can put it all together and push things further -

So yeah this is how I throw wings together! The wings I draw aren’t super technical or detailed, but I what matters for me is that they look and feel like believable wings at a glance -
