After a few changes, I finally finished drawing Duck!

Warning: Spelling and grammatical errors may occur.

To be honest, Duck, Selly, and Victor were the most difficult to design. I didn't like the initial design, and I constantly made changes.

So, originally, I wanted to make Duck a Rainwing, but then I remembered that he was the only train that could swim in water, so I decided to make him half a Seawing, and soon I removed the half Rainwing and replaced it with a Skywing.

Duck's wings are based on the elliptical wings of a sparrow (as strange as it may sound), which are designed for quick bursts of speed or short, slow flights. As for the body, I tried to make it more plump (as much as my drawing skills allowed), and after a lot of debate and persuasion, I finally added a massive tail.

As for the abilities, well, I tried to keep it as canon as possible. Seawing's basic skills include being a great swimmer and being able to breathe underwater. Remember Duck's abilities? Well, I didn't, and I only remembered them when I was already done with the previous design. That's why I removed half of Rainwing and replaced it with Skywing. So, now Duck can spit boiling water. If the Skywings can breathe fire and are hot (literally), can they theoretically heat things up inside themselves? Let's assume they can. If Ducky inherited this ability from his Skywing half, he could simply drink water, heat it up inside himself, and spit boiling water at his opponents. (I'll never try to explain such concepts again.)

Have I finished it? Finally. I'll finish Selly soon.

The previous design was for Jeffrey.

A post about the Genius Genie a century later. Т_Т

Warning: Spelling and grammatical errors may occur.

I originally wanted to make Genie a Hivewing, but then, for some reason I don't understand, I decided to make her a hybrid of a Hivewing and a Silkwing.

I spent a long time working on her design. In general, Genie looks more like a Hivewing than a Silkwing. The only thing that indicates her hybrid nature is her antennae (which I'm still not satisfied with). Although, I still don't think I should have added a stinger on her tail, but now it's here.

And so, the abilities. You may have noticed that at the end of the tail there is a kind of "sting", which, unlike her relatives Hivewing, is weaker in terms of poison. The consequences of the presence of the poison of the Genie in the body: paresthesia (not paralysis! as in most Hivewing!), slight dizziness, and possible hallucinations (with a particularly strong dose). Regarding the silk, I was hesitant for a long time, but in the end, having decided to leave it, I slightly changed the properties. Now, silk is not just a thread, but an adhesive substance that allows objects to stick together upon contact, but it is also highly flammable.

Updated: I recently found out that the Hivewings and the Silkwings can predict the weather... uh... Well, now the Genie can do the same.

That's it. I don't have any more thoughts about Genie.

The previous Gary. The next Maxie.

Oh, yes. The character that half of the fandom hates I would like to eat (she reminds me of some kind of sweet or yogurt) — Maxie!

Warning: spelling and grammatical errors are possible.

Sooo, originally, I wanted to make Maxie a hybrid of Skywing and Silkwing. However, after deciding that such a hybrid would not fit into my crossover, I settled on a simple SilkWing.

I really wanted to make Maxie's antennae fluffy (maybe I'll make them fluffier in the future). I struggled with her color palette and scale pattern for a long time, but Great Starclan, I'm so pleased with the result. (And honestly, I have nothing more to say about her).

When I decided on the Maxie Silkwing variant, I immediately decided that she would have flamesilk. After a little research on Silkwing silk, I decided on the type of silk, Solar Silk, which is described as very bright and hot. So hot that it can melt steel and rocks. I also believe that Maxie is one of the fastest Silkwings (I will change the design and shape of her wings later). Oh, and I recently learned that Silkwings can predict the weather, so I think that should be added to her list of abilities.

I have nothing more to say about Maxie. ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌

The past — Genie. The next — Master X.

OOO YEAA! I'm so excited to finally draw Duke!

Warning: Spelling and grammatical errors may occur.

I've also spent a lot of time working on Duke's design. However, I am very pleased with the result.

So, as soon as I started working on Duke, I realized that he had to be a Nightwing and Sandwing hybrid.

Duke's wings are fast (like falcons). I always wanted to make Duke with such a menacing and intimidating design, like other dragons/trains would look at him and think, "Wow! This guy is so scary, he could easily kill someone without even thinking about it!" Remember how everyone was suspicious of Duke in the canon? Here, it's the same thing, but it's because of his appearance and stealth. I decided that adding a couple of battle scars and a broken crest would be an extra bonus for "intimidation," and I also liked the idea of a poisonous tail spike and black eye whites like all Sandwings.

Abilities: Duke should definitely have fire breath (since he's a Nightwing-Sandwing hybrid). See that spike on his tail? I added it for a reason. The Sandwings contain deadly poison, but since Duke has only half of the Sandwing, his poison has lost its "lethality", instead there are simply a number of unpleasant side effects: nausea, dizziness, sharp pains in different parts of the body and, if "lucky", fainting or fever symptoms (sorry if there are any- I'm not a doctor for inaccuracies). It is also necessary to note the strong scales and partial fire resistance from Nightwings. I'm not sure about the poisonous saliva of Nightwings, although who knows). But I really like the idea of Duke being a mind reader, and maybe that's why Duke doesn't want to talk to anyone. After all, when you can read other people's thoughts (good and bad), it can be a bit unnerving.

That's all for now. But I'm still not sure if I should draw the guys from the second season. Like, should I? I don't think so. What do you think? Although if I do decide, Gary will be the first.

The previous design was for Victor.

[goofy-coon-baton]

I've finally drawn our beloved former sergeant.

Warning: Spelling and grammatical errors may occur.

I spent as much time designing Victor as I did Duck and Selly. I was constantly dissatisfied with something and kept adding and correcting things. Eventually, I settled on this design.

After a while, I decided that Victor would be a hybrid of Nightwing and Skywing.

Victor's wings are passive soaring wings (like a kite). And really, I have nothing more to say about his design. I just added the scars from his past as a sergeant at the end.

Abilities: I decided to keep Victor's fire breath (well, he's a Nightwing/Skywing hybrid, so it makes sense to add that). However, I don't think he has any Nightwing abilities (such as foresight or mind reading), but he does have poisonous saliva. Additionally, his scales are much stronger than others due to his Nightwing heritage, and he has partial fire resistance.

That's all for now, but I'll post the Duke design later.

The previous design was for Alf.

Redesign of Kay and Jeffrey's wings.

I didn't like the original design of the wings. When I was redesigning them, I was inspired by birds.

Kay is a high-speed train. Therefore, the wings must be suitable for high-speed flights. A good example of such wings is the wings of a falcon. Fun fact: after googling is that the fastest bird is the peregrine falcon. So I think this is suitable for Kay.

As for Jeffrey... Actually, I needed wings that weren't too fast and preferably gliding. I think the passive gliding wings of kites and storks are suitable for this purpose.

That's all for now. I would love to hear your opinions and suggestions.

Alf - huh, I've finally CLIMBED the climber. I know it's a stupid joke, sorry.

Warning: There may be spelling and grammatical errors.

As for Alf, I've always known what I wanted. Specifically, a hybrid of Skywing and Icewing.

Alf's wings are passive soaring wings (kite wings). I didn't spend much time thinking about Alf's appearance, as I had some ideas from the beginning. However, there is one idea that I really like. We all remember that Alf is a climber and a mountain rescue worker. I believe that during his early climbing career, he fell many times and damaged his spikes and horns.

Honestly? I don't think Alf had any abilities. That's probably why Alf wanted to become a mountain rescue worker, to prove that he wasn't weak and that he was useful. Although, if I were to give him any abilities, it would be a weak fire breath, not just weak, but barely capable of heating anything up. However, as in the case of Selly, there are also positive aspects: Alf can easily tolerate both high and low temperatures, and he has strong scales and powerful claws that allow him to cling to rocks without harming himself.

I think Victor will be next.

The previous design was for Selly.

[goofy-coon-baton]

The doctor's type: "Well, God bless you!", Selly!

Warning: Grammatical and spelling errors may occur.

It was as difficult with Selly as it was with Duck, I constantly vacillated between three options: 1) Rainwing, 2) Rainwing and Icewing, 3) Skywing and Icewing. In the end, I settled on the second option.

Selly's wings are the same as Duck's - elliptical (although I originally wanted to make hummingbird wings). Then I spent some more time with the collar, which, by the way, is based on Selly's glasses. And then the difficulties began in the form of claws and spikes. Like, I originally wanted to completely cover Selly with spikes (based on the appearance of Icewings), but no matter how I changed it, Selly looked more like a hedgehog than a dragon, so I left the spikes only on her neck and back.

Unfortunately, Selly doesn't have the "magic-rain-spit" or camouflage abilities, and her skin can only reflect certain surfaces (and even then, not always). Her ice breath has become more like a thin layer of frost or a mild freeze. On the positive side, Selly can comfortably handle both cold and hot temperatures, and she can also photosynthesize (thanks to the Rainwings).

You can read while I finish drawing Alf.
