Sailplane Harpy OC. Meet Viee, a lightweight, non powered harpycraft. Harpycraft are flying humanoid creatures that resemble different types of airplanes! I've had this idea for a while, but I'm only just now good enough artistically to pull it off. I've almost never seen any good anthropomorphized aircraft, and I'd like to start a series exploring the idea. I've got the start of some lore written up too, so go ahead and leave me questions or asks if you're curious about these critters! Any ideas for other planes I should try out?
