Small kinkajou drawing for a thingy

I saw you're taking requests, so I thought maybe you'd like to draw Arctic and Foeslayer, before their relationship began to be messy?

They're my favourite wof pair and I think if it weren't for the decision to hide in the Night Kingdom, they would have been very happy

(and Darkstalker probably wouldn't then terrorise the whole continent)

i tried to do this one no less than five times over the last few months and was never happy with it... but at long last. ive done it

arctic and his spiny wife!! they are so cute i felt so much dismay after the darkstalker prologue... doomed

Feeling a little eh but i think now ive hit more wildwing territory..

Prickle only has three wings!

And i was kinda going for an old pennies look

[andiirandii]

Somone might have climbed favourite oc leaderboard very quickly

[andiirandii]

Hello Tariq i love you okay?

I was kinda going for wild wing.. but i dont think they reach what i would call “wildwing wildness” so maybe ill repurpose another character to become a wild wing and keep Tariq as they are.

Drawing in a more book accurate style was actually really therapeutic, I do recommend!

When some evil ass prince burns ur gfs wings but at least you get to deliver a cold line and aura farm

A bit of a redesign for my rich boi hivewing, hopefully got all the spelling right–

Anivai, Pollen likes golden jewlery with blue–green gems/minerals. He always has the golden tip on the horn, something in is ears and at least one bracelet.

Some more lore below if ya interested ↓

.

This pink beauty grew up in a high status family, having more then a dragon would need. Being a son of a popular fashon designer—Tachinid, he went on the same career path. His whole life he lived in the Jewel hive, although, he would travel there and there, the Jewel hive is the place he would always return to.

Even though his artistic mother is thought highly of across hivewings, in silkwing gossip webs shes knows as a cruel dragon who treats her servants horribly, and who says her son isn't the same? But Pollen admired silkwings, and tried to not treat them the way his mother did when he got older, unfortunately habits die hard.

.

In total he has 4 personal servants, Fern being the newest addition. Honestly, he picked Fern for how pretty their wings were and the false eyes are rare to come across (considering that Jewel hive hivewing look for the most prettiest silkwings and Fern by that is kinda consided boring).

Pollen didn't know how hateful they were. And he liked it, it was different, shocking, entertaining. Everyone around him tried to always appeal to him, even the sweettooths get sick after being fed honey their whole lifes. And Fern was that gulp of salt he so desperately wanted. And the more time passed, the more he fell for the dragon—and the longer he marinated in his feelings, the more it became unhealthy and obsessive.
