Silkwing art for Zagadkaa.

By the way, I'm not currently taking commissions, BUT I'm thinking of opening a couple of slots for watercolor headshots. You can order one now for $10.40.

Animated SilkWing and HiveWing flight headcanons! Featuring IRL inspiration from butterflies and dragonflies. Captions under the cut:

SilkWing flight

In Lepidopteran (butterfly and moth) flight, the wings are mechanically coupled and always flap together. The downward stroke of the forewing propels the hindwing. Also, the hindwing aids in aerial maneuverability and generating lift, by contributing to the total surface area of the wing.

HiveWing flight

Inspired by Odonates (dragonflies and damselflies) who possess independent control of all four of their wings (made possible by flight muscles attached directly to the wings, versus the thorax). This gives them superior aerial capabilities, including the ability to fly backwards!

Fluffy Blue! I wanted to try a different style and experiment with his design a little bit. I think the more butterfly-based look suits him.

Got a meme commission to redraw this picture with someone's character

Now, can you draw Miku as a dragon?

In Cricket's book, Hatsune Miku actually follows Queen wasp into the egg nursery and solos her with her leek. Specifically the Fortnite pickaxe version. This is canon

Royal

Design Notes Hidden Below...

After re-reading his description of orange and black interlaced wings, I'm certain that he's supposed to look like an actual monarch butterfly since his mother couldn't (since SilkWings don't have black on them)

"royal butterflies" also refers to the group of butterflies that are monarchs, viceroys, queens (i think) so im pretty sure he has monarch butterfly wings

The toughen up stick in a beautimus little harness thing so all his friends can get the snot beaten out of them
