hello! saw in ur bio that ur okay w ppl asking 4 tips w wing anatomy/etc, so i was wondering if you’d be able to answer a question of mine - do feathered wings (say, stereotypical angel wings as an example) visibly scar, or *can they* visibly scar? if so, what do(es) the scar(s) look like? thx for the help!

They absolutely can have scars! Scar tissue on feathered creatures can actually prevent the growth of new feathers in that area, or cause them to grow in at odd angles around the scarring. Unfortunately I haven't yet found an actual scientific source on this, just a lot of anecdotes from people who own birds.

The bigger the patch of scar tissue, the more likely it will be a visible scar, as it could create a bald spot where feathers won't grow properly. Most scars will likely be hard to see, just small areas where a few little feathers aren't growing but other feathers around the area cover it up.

I did also find this interesting article about how bird feathers can grow in with white tips after being plucked, because the melanin production might be disrupted. This is a more temporary form of "scar" because it will only last until the next molting, but it would look pretty cool on a character with naturally darker feathers.

How Verilas / Storms wings work

How my main persona / fursona / oc's magic wings work!

Quick lil animation of how it works really rushed so doesn't look that good but its the base of it!

How it works

Magic forms the base of the wings first making a little circle before the wings sprout out of the magic circle in a quick motion normally leaving a magic feather or two behind due to the quick motion of the wings sprouting out of the magic

When the wings are formed they are normally quite large as it is needed for take-off only on rare occasions when there magic is low will the wings appear to be smaller and semi-transparent due to the magic not working correctly

Learning to fly was a hard learning experience due to them not having wings before, after some tutoring from a friend they learned to fly, to soar through the air with-out a care in the world

And yes the wings are very fluffy and soft, as soft as cotton and as fluffy as a kittens baby-fluff

The process of summoning the wings can take a couple seconds up to a minute depending on the size and magic the wings require at that moment once summoned they stay summoned for hours or days not draining any-more magic then it costed to summon them.

Wolf Lineart: Upgraded

Soooo... a friend @sinspark4 got me into playing this wolf game, and one of the cool things you can do is make custom gear for the game if you have a premium account.

And... they have some GORGEOUS Artwork for their wolf bases.

And... and then they have The Female Beta Pose.

The Beta Female pose. Like by itself it's pretty nifty like DAMN. COOL. But... BUT WHEN COMPARED TO THE OTHERS, IT'S SO SAD.

Sooooo... After my friend and I were talking about the art and blah blah i somehow got it in my head that i could try to Make It Better.

So I did!

Behold, the art I spent Way Too Many Fucking Hours On as a dual gift for my friend, a gift to the game's playerbase, and fulfilling my own personal desire to the wolves to all be equally badass XD

befores and afters for all six wolf poses!

(pardon the different eye colors, i used a different white wolf base for the actual art creation than their wolf editor previews)

Alpha Male:

Ngl not much changed on the alpha poses. They were already super well drawn and were my reference goal to match the other poses to.

Alpha Female:

Beta Male:

BIG DIFFERENCE HERE WE GOOOOOO--

Beta Female:

UGH. LOOK AT HER. SO PRETTY NOW. I LOVE. I LOOOOOOOVE.

Omega Male:

Heh... I had to remove the rock I put in there that was hiding this crappy little blob. The original shadow of this wolf was. just. fuckin'. You could see the artist just used a single round soft brush and did a dot and one line and then called it a day unlike how they blended the beautiful alpha shadows REEEE. Anyhow, i just had to suffer with the silly dot. Fortunately, it doesn't show up on most backgrounds in the game.

Omega Female:

Honestly, this one's my favorite :'D

;w; i can't stop staring at her she's so prettyyyy. Also FUCK I forgot to highlight one of her front claws sob sob cry cry I can't ever fix that. (Once the gear is accepted, it's in the game and live and No Edits Allowed)

I totally made a Lightshow, Megatronus/tron and Soundwave, among many other TF characters, in my den wolves:

Lightshow:

(with a Swindle puppy :D) (I didn't draw anything in this picture except the lineart upgrade on Lightshow)

Megatronus:

MEEEEGS :D

the wings / tattoos and lineart upgrade are my art live in the game! :D everything else was other people's work, like the blood splatter.

Soundwave:

;v; my wings again hehe

SOMEONE DREW A LITTLE BLACK KITTY CAT CUSTOM GEAR. SO SOUNDERS HAS A RAVAGE. YEEESSSS. Raven for Lazerbeak, and twin puppies for Rumble/Frenzy.

Breakdown:

Just hte lineart on this one is my art in the game, the Mjolnir necklace (Thor's Hammer) is an in-game event item

Aaaand last one i'll spam you with for today,

Knockout:

Lineart / wings / antlers/flowers all my art additions ;v;

Hot off the drawing table, this is a Strange Angel - a semi-abstract collection of wings and fire. This is the line art, an early stage; I will be coloring the drawing later. I'll add a bunch of eyes at that point. I tend to do about half the detailing when I take it to full color.

I made this with Micron pens on drawing paper. It is 9x12 inches.
