Intro/info post

Hello!! I’m summer or Maverick!! But honestly I go by anything else!!

I’m a primarily digital artist, but I will occasionally use other mediums. I enjoy drawing dragons, but I do draw Transformers/mech ocs, and other feral animals!! I particularly enjoy designing characters or making designs! A handful of the posts I upload are my ocs and personal worlds, but I will occasionally draw fanart or hc pages ( which will be made soon…I see you wof fans )

My interests are kind of all over the place lmao, I enjoy learning about radiation, liminal spaces, speculative evolution, paleontology/prehistoric animals, and pattern/coloration mutations in animals!! ( piebaldism, leucism, pseudomelanism, etc!! ) I will occasionally include these in my ocs info or their appearances!! Feel free to ask or talk about any of these, I love yapping about random stuff anyways lmao.

genuinely how do u do pattern & color design on your animal characters.... you're so good at it i need to know your ways

bro honestly I have NO IDEA.. I usually will think up colors on the spot as a start and then find out patterns from either looking at animals or just making them up as well.. I’ll actually show what designs I kinda had a process to like make up or whatever

This guy was based off of skinks!! I usually reference animal patterns a LOT when designing characters, then I like just go from there I guess?? For colors I don’t even have an explanation LMAO.. I just see random images or things that give me a color palette I really like

Last one but umm she was loosely based off of melanistic barn owls?? I did have the idea of keeping her body lighter so I went with that, honestly a LOT of the time I just mix my ideas up or make them up on the spot and go with it lol

Rainwing Headcannons!!

Hi guys!! I’ve finally started on making tribe hc sheets, starting with like my favorites ever Rainwings obviously.. If you happen to recognize some of these from my subspecies for the discord server, the forest Rainwings are actually based off of my base hcs!! More info below if you want to read up on my Rainwings!

Anyways, about the hcs, I like to imagine Rainwings have brightly colored mouths similar to some baby birds!! They keep these up to adulthood though, so it’s kind of an identification marker/cool little detail. I also like to think that Rainwings are more nocturnal leaning?? Hence the bat noses a such, I also really like the concept of crepuscular Rainwings!! I also think bat Rainwings are like super cool so I’m biased towards them..Snake Rainwings/gecko ones are cool but bats one are my GOATS. Bat noses also allow for more cool/unique customization!

You guys may know about my other hcs, but I gave them an extra thumb for better climbing/grip!! They also have a thicker thumb-like padded tailtip that gives them more strength/hold when climbing. Same with the wings! They have the most flexible wings out of the tribes imo, the extra bone makes the shape almost handlike, allowing them to wrap around trees, also to aid them in climbing. I gave them softer “fake” spikes since they don’t have a lot of reasons to be armored, I also like to think Rainwings are pretty soft overall ( softer scales, talons, etc )

Nightwings are up next 👀

Didn’t know what to draw so I drew Flashburn mad at an iPad or something

[vyshchirka]

little attack on @ssummersolstice I forgot to post

[ssummersolstice]

ARGENON IS SO CUTE BTW!! Thank you for drawing him :) !!

[ssummersolstice]

Made a quick drawing of a spino I was playing as in PoT!! I really liked his colors so I HAD to draw him, may make this guy into an oc 😋

[ssummersolstice]

Heya!!! I was wondering what brushes and/or website you use to draw?

I use a custom brush for my lineart, I believe this one is the closest to mine, I can’t remember where exactly I found the image for this, somewhere on Pinterest so I assume it’s stolen 💔

For some of my coloring/textures I do use a modified version of the stickman brush on Procreate! It is a default/base brush so you can edit it to your liking!!

Quick mutation sheet for Rainwings!! I personally think that all the mutations I’ve drawn ( Piebaldism, Melanism, Leucism, Albinism ) prevent Rainwings from changing color, the only exception would probably be Piebaldism but the spots wouldn’t be able to change color/camouflage. I also feel like Leucistic/Albino Rainwings would be a bit more sickly since they can’t go in the sun for long!

[ssummersolstice]

I saw your recent posts were about a server you are in, I was wondering if it’ll be open for others to join if they’d like.

Yes!!! It’ll totally be open to the public once it’s finished, most of the info is done so we only have to make the roleplay channels! If it ever finishes sooner than I expect I will totally post the link/let my guys on here know ❤️

[ssummersolstice]

Some Rainwing subspecies/variants for a server!! Same one I did the maps and Forbearance’s info btw!! I will be doing a cute little mutation sheet for Rainwings btw so keep an eye out ❤️

A bit of info on the variants though, I like to think that Oceanic guys are based off of Marine Iguanas!! While the Forest guys are based off of Koalas and Geckos, Arid Rainwings are kind of hard to say what they’re based off of..But I think they’d be similar to Fennec foxes and Leopard Geckos?? I put some thought into making this guys though!! Since I really appreciate designing traits with meaning and cool little unique characteristics 😋
