#murk raiders

Fondly remembering a show I loved as a kid - Storm Hawks! ⚡️

The first episode I saw was Terra Deep, with the badass design of the Murk Raiders’ airship. It’s always stuck with me!!

Storm Hawks villains and their redemption ratings

I'm going to try to stay as close to canon as possible so bear with me XD

Master Cyclonis: 10/10 literally the best candidate for a redemption. She is shown to have a soft side again and again (Best Friends Forever and 5 Days) and with her fascination with crystals, you could just give her a lab where she can experiment to her hearts content without having to deal with empress duties. Moreover, she is a 14 year old empress. Literally 14! Kids do dumb stuff and honestly, the power would go to my head as well if they gave me an army at that age. (I mean it still would rn but that just proves my point)

Snipe: 5/10 I'm actually optimistic about him. Sure, he regularly abuses talons (throw them off his airship by the parachute) and he loves smashing stuff but he is show to enjoy 'inventing' just as much (the wacky devices he had terradon scientists do, his airship etc.) he doesn't have the patience to actually go through the education, but he can come up with some solid ideas for devices and gadgets which I think he would enjoy testing. Bit of a far stretch? Sure, but with some anger management, I think he could do great.

Ravess: 7/10 she has several interests she can choose to lean into instead of the army. First of all, she always looks happier playing the violin (going as far as having a talon who always plays her theme in her squadron and mimicking the motion with her bow) then actually fighting. Now don't get me wrong, we know for a fact she enjoys archery and the dog battles she gets up to in the daily, but I think the violin is her top favorite. Sure, she has a short temper and tendency to abuse her power (nearly throwing a talon off her airship in the stratosphere) but again she could change jobs with some anger training. Out of all 3 commanders, she is also the least loyal one. Going out of her way to question Cyclonis, talk behind her back and straight up covet the throne. And frankly, if you hate her boss that much you probably going to start hating your job too. Exhile probably sucked for her but if she just lost her position instead of being kicked out of Cyclonia all together, I think she could be much happier.

Raptors: 4/10 they suck but most of their big scale schemes are for Cyclonia. They treat the terradon scientists terribly, they aren't royal to each other and they are thieves but honestly, could have been worse. Without Cyclonia, they could have been much more enclosed in their own airspace. Repton rules with an iron fist, but from what we seen, that's their way as they are portrayed as the 'barbarians'. You can't really give them a traditional redemption because of that. They are going to continue being that way but if they were left alone, they might just keep it in their own terra.

Murk Raiders: 8/10 ragtag team of pirates with a surprising found family twist. Captain Scabulous seems to actually care about his man and despite their classic pirate plundering and endless search for riches, they could change their ways. Quite easily too, actually.

Now, the last one I'm going to talk about;

Dark Ace: -99999999999/10 he has absuleltly NO redeeming qualities. Yeah, there is no hope for this man. Killed his old squadron in cold blood and had no regrets or second thoughts (you could argue that one shot of him when he first changed side could be taken for regret, but I think it's a far stretch), abuses the talons the most (threw them off their rides in Gale Force Winds and A Little Trouble, instead of just letting them stay on the skimmer like c'mon), has no other hobbies outside of fighting and training, you could argue he is loyal to cyclonis but it actually never came across to me like that (There are two sides in Atmos and he already betrayed one, and Dark Ace in his core is a selfish, self-service person. I don't see him being loyal to anyone.), has one of the highest body counts in the show (defeated the most sky knights and in his own words, defeat means death). Dark Ace is an absulute lost cause with anger issues, a self serving agenda, an obsession with power and a personality that's prone to addiction. I mean that's why he is my favorite villain but still, the writers gave us nothing to work with XD

I know i've been AWOL for a while - it's been a vicious cycle of art block, loss of motivation and my internet dying but I'm proud to say that i'm starting to get back on the bandwagon and what better way to start than with a flashy art piece!

[cowdeath]

Wanted to give Captain scabulous and potentially other murk raiders more shark/fish like traits because it just fits :-p

also because junko is allergic to murk raiders and sky sharks!

What's this? A OC that's not apart of the JCA universe? It's a miracle!!!!

As you all know, I decided to redesign my existing Storm Hawks OCs since it's good to give OCs new designs every once and a while. Along with actually designing SH OCs that I've come up with.( And this one is a long wait since I posted the preview almost a month ago)

So first up for the redesigns is Caspian, the gentleman thief of the Murk Raiders who has a forbidden romance with @amnshe-wolf 's OC Luella( What can I say, I like the Royal falling for the Rouge trope, sue me).

You can tell I made a lot of improvements to him, like making his dreadlocks look better, giving him a undercut, making his vest blue instead of red since the red made him look similar to Captain Scabulous, getting rid of the dark markings around his eyes, giving his less spots, adding an arm sleeve to cover up new scars that I added, giving him a better color palette then the mess that was his original palette.( To be fair, it was my first color palette, but it still looks bad in my opinion)

I think overall he's looks more simple then his original design since his vest is less detailed and he doesn't have the pockets on his belt, but I think the simple look fits him since the Murk Raiders as a whole don't have fancy looking clothes since they're pirates who probably prioritize food and supplies more then clothes.

If your wondering where his bio is and if I'm going to update it, the answers are, yes I am updating his bio, but it is going to be posted separately in it's own post. I was going to post it with his update look, but it was taking too long and I decided to just post his new art and add his bio in another post at a later date. So that's why it took so long to post Cas' new look.

And that's not all, if you notice in the preview he had only boxers on, I actually did that for a reason. And that is because I wanted to make a cloth less Cas base so I can make fun outfits for him. And I'm going to link you to it sta.sh/0p4l02nuzqe so you can see can in all his cloth less glory. Your welcome.

And so that's Caspian's redesign, hopefully I can get his updated bio done soon and get the rest of my Storm Hawks OCs drawn by the end of the year( Though that's highly unlikely). I also plan on redesigning Storm Hawks characters and adding headcannons to them( And of course I have to start with the Raptors, you all know I like them more then the Storm Hawks) So look forward to that.

And so I think that's it, tell me what you think.
