*Cracks knuckles* I've been waiting for this! I meant to finish it months ago but forgot and have been sick. ;-;
These are songs either related to specific Planes OCs or pairings because I've been thinking about these guys an awful lot lately.
About time I introduce these OCs without getting into way too much detail that it becomes excessively convoluted because the story of these three is basically split in two: their WoC life, and everything that came before.
In the WoC, Cassius is a Rockwell B-1B Lancer and Hyraxus is a Tupolev Tu-160M Blackjack. Prior to that, the duo were the last surviving members of a divine dynasty of conquerors and tyrants that were presumed extinct until these two were born through mysterious means. They had differing yet equally negative opinions on their ancestry (that they viewed as cursed bloodlines more than anything), but how they navigated their shared ancestral guilt eventually caused a catastrophic falling-out neither could return from or ever even wanted. They're pretty much alien dragon gods born from stars that killed each other, then got "reborn" and turned into talking planes. Cassius is the antithesis of their ancestry, yet plagued by self-loathing, perfectionism, doubt, and a quiet hatred for their own blood that morphs into reluctance, fear, and crushing guilt that everything is their own fault. Hyraxus is driven by a volatile blend of love and anger that morphs into heartbreak, resentment, and betrayal, still at war with a deep sense of devotion; all as someone who is ultimately at the mercy of their own heart.
Admittedly, I haven't thought much about how they interact after being put into the WoC. It's probably immensely awkward to say the least because after everything, they're sort of just... stuck there together.
Zoe D'Arcy is a firefighter with a past career as a sniper, and most importantly, a human (idk how they meet. Either Cass and Rax get thrown into the human world or she ends up in theirs). In her past life, she was the same species as Cassius and Hyraxus, her name was Nymera, and the trio were definitely a throuple yeah, it's introverted Cass between two very intense extroverts. She originally hated the two for their lineage due to the fact she lost her home because of their ancestors. Of the three, she was the first to die, doing so at the hands of Hyraxus, and is the whole reason the two are reborn as sentient aircraft on Earth in the first place.

First of all, I really adore this lore! It's really unique, and the similarities/differences between the characters make for a super interesting dynamic. How do they feel about one another now?
As a dragon enthusiast, I must ask... Have you ever drawn them as their dragon forms? What kind of abilities powers did they have? Do they have any left?
Also these names are top tier!
I think the best part of making this post is its full of new songs for my playlists.
Also as a side note, I love that Hyraxus has two of the same songs as one of my OCs! Monster and Natural are both on my character Arion's playlist though he isn't directly a WOCs oc. He's more Knight Rider related. Monster by Starset is actually Arion's theme song.
Cause the art with Martin Mars still in process and needs a lot of work, I decided to make some sketches with Beyond the Sky characters just for fun) Yet Blaze gave me some hard work with her stabilizers (I drew two almost identical versions of Blaze on semitransparent paper only because of those two parts 😭 and then spent an hour choosing, which one is closer to the original design). Another character is an unnamed fighter aircraft, whose model looks more like Eurofighter Typhoon, so I would call them Typhoon
Decisions, decisions, decisions…
All characters belongs to Disney (though the cartoon never made it to the screen) and were created by Toby Wilson, Scott Seeto, Ron Velasco and other artists, who worked on this project.
It seems like aeromorphs got a new phase of popularity!
So, I tried to draw them myself, and you know what? It was incredibly funny 🤣
And suddenly I’ve made, probably, my first OC from TU-144LL (first picture). I’ve even come up with the name for her - Vera Turbinova. And she is a sick, tired of life plane being, but once she’s got the chance to become a flying laboratory for NASA and help them to collect new data about supersonic transports and their problems, occurring, when flying at twice the speed of sound.
I’m planning to make a series of sketches, showing Vera’s life twists and turns in slightly humoristic form.
Classy lady Concorde (maybe, I’ll name her Naomi) from the second picture would be another character in these series and she’d be here for the contrast, representing everything that Vera was dreaming about and couldn’t reach due to various conditions.
I’m not dead, just drawing!) I’m too hesitant to post those pics on IG, because it’s not even a rough sketch, it’s something completely unripe. But I’m as hesitant as impatient to show these two comic strips about my OC Vera, so Tumblr looks like a better place to share your unfiltered flight of imagination)
If you forgot or don’t know, who is Vera): https://www.tumblr.com/dances-with-kelpies/814510444848054272/it-seems-like-aeromorphs-got-a-new-phase-of

Been wanting to redraw this photo I took of one of the helis I took care of in rural Alaska almost a couple years back. We were trying to get the last bit of time left on one of our main rotor blades so the company that leased the heli to my boss wouldn't demand we ship it back to em all the way in Texas. Which, from a place that's 500 miles from the nearest walmart and impossible to get to other than aircraft or boat, that would have cost thousands.
So, boss asked me where I wanted to go. I said, Mt. Sugarloaf, a little volcanic baby mountain that wasn't too far from us. I loved that cute volcano, I've drawn it a few times now.
So off we went to go pick blueberries and cool rocks on top of it.
When we got home, our blade still had some time left to it, boss said, "Hey, I'm a flight instructor, you're a student pilot, let's make the last 30 minutes of time on this thing a flight lesson!"
And that we did! I got pretty okay at holding positions and specific altitude hovers, he handled the anti-torque pedals tho. He said Long Rangers are notorious for being squirrely in the tails. Def not a heli meant to be a newbie trainers, but he said I didn't do too bad and was actually considering training me up. Unfortunately that didn't happen and I had to leave due to numerous events/life happenings.. I greatly miss it, rural Alaska, the job. It healed a piece of the soul that's been broken and hiding for a long time.
Anyhoo, this piece, mixmedia: Alcohol markers, color pencils, gel pen, acrylic marker. Been working on this almost all week while winding down after all day of aircraft repairs and inspections. :)
I think I've settled on a design for this project I reeeally really like. combined that fireweed field I painted earlier with the mixmedia helo I drew last year + added a flight sectional chart. Flight charts are an art medium for me hehe :3
Kept getting stuck from the previous plain airport ramp the helo was resting on and really wanted to include something MORE to it. so naturally, I give myself more work by making another entire painting to edit in instead. The fireweed flowers are so important to me. To me in my 1st experience in rural Alaska, they represented a type of whimisical, explorative curiosity I hadn't felt in many many years. They made me feel like, all the hard work to become an aircraft mechanic was worth it and seeing volcanic valleys completely decorated in these flowers was the reward. :)
