“Chickadee” animation test

[clairecannormalize]

A small flight cycle for our mailman ! (He had a beard when we started designing him, but he lost it in the end because it would have been a nightmare to animate)

If you haven't yet, you can find our graduation movie La Quête de l'Humain (Search of the Human) on Youtube here !!!

Here's some old flight animation test I did for my giant weird crow god in my stories. It's not enough to warent a YT video so here ya go!!

Genghis Hawk flight

Anatomy-wise, Genghis Hawks are very strange, even compared to other AVAn fallows. They have a very short, sharp coating of nanotubules across their bodies, in stark contrast to their closest relatives,the Urzines.

.

While odd, this adaptation brilliantly allows for the direct observation of the basal cortex at work through a relatively thin layer of skin. Genghis Hawks are monoletred in nature, meaning they (typically) only possess one ring on their central cortexes.

.

In order to reset the central cortex, the Genghis hawk does not need to fold its wings against its side to snap it back into place, nor must it dislocate its wings.

.

Instead, this is done through the use of connections between individual hydraulic prongs. When the wing is folded, the basal cortex is allowed to move the central cortex forwards, ready for another wing stroke.

.

This constant movement generates a lot of heat during flight, leading to the adaptation of lamprey spiracle-like intake vents along the neck meant to quickly draft in and expel air in an efficient fashion. This has lead to the development of a pseudo respiratory system, fashioned out of parts connected to the basal cortex.

.

Air is drafted into the chassis of the Genghis Hawk, before it is quickly expelled by the basal cortex "flexing". This "breathing" occurs every time on the downstroke in flight.

The Shard-winged Genghis and Vermillion Genghis are the only 2 species known to actively hunt instead of sitting stationary waiting for prey. Unlike the mainline, the Shard-wing has 2 rings while the Vermillion possesses 3.

They're also the only ones possessing a form of advanced sight, though they appear to be at a dead end beyond that. Their skulls just aren't built for efficient vision.

Another flying dragon that I animated!

Been slammed by school, have a flight cycle doodle
