Nineteen

Design Notes Hidden Below...

The colors are described as an iridescent dark blue and purple, so I based it off of beetles that color

The blobby part of its wing where Umber fixed it has changed color like real life steel when it is heated under certain conditions!

Not 4 wings, just supposed to be blur frames to show it is flying.

Below is a size reference for how big I imagine SharpWings to be:

Tui says the reason she used the word "talon" for dragon hands is because...

"Paw" didn't seem like the right word to her. She also says that even though talons and claws are technically the same thing in real life, in the book, talon means hand and claw means finger!

Also, Tui says she considers SharpWings to be their own tribe despite there being so few and being created by someone. She says it might be unclear where the story is going with them, but she hopes readers find them interesting!

Tui says she isn't sure if there'll be new tribes in Book 17 onwards, but "we'll see."

And now the concept of Sharpwings from me

Spoiler design details are below

First of all, I'll say that for me, Sharpwings are NOT robots or mechanisms. That concept is too complex for dragons, the level of development shown in the books. So, I imagine them as golems. It's a straightforward concept – you sculpt something in your own image and brought it to life with magic – that's it. I imagine Precipice could smelt them from solid pieces of metal, or fuse several together if it needed more, and draw details on the molten metal. (Or she could make details with magic, but that's boring.) I imagine their wings as very dense foil or corrugated metal sheets located between the phalanges.

While I was reading the book, I couldn't get the image of a mechanical dragon from Warcraft out of my head, so I drew a design similar to them.

I also want to say that someday I will make a drawing that will feature the dragon Clink and the robot Clank from the game Ratchet & Clank...

I loved The Hybrid Prince! I love all our new friends!

[sagesdragons]

Made a SharpWing base! Here it is using Clink from The Hybrid Prince (Nineteen has a broken wing so it would be harder to make, though it does get more screen time and is a more interesting design).

I'm running out of money so it's ptu. $2 for just 1 full-body fill layer, $5 for every fill layer. I used the $5 version to make Clink here, but you could still use the $2 version to make something of like this.

So I have a TF OC named Eclipse I've never really talked about much but now I have an excuse to cuz him and @marinatedsaltea's OC Sharpwing are now brothers in TFA.

Gothic sassy gay vampire brothers talking shit and planning mayhem.
