This is the next print in my monthly print club for Whirlpool hater members on Patreon and also the background for the next video on my YouTube, where I shall be making a very mysterious dragon into a Plushie (you will never guess)
Tried out a slightly different style for once, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out! This is probably one of the first drawings I’ve made in a while that’s felt entirely true to me, which is also a bonus.
Some people seemed to like the first round I did a few months ago, so this time I thought I'd challenge myself and do a set list of specific characters, in this case the arc 1 cast. I gotta say, trying to figure out colors for all of these characters is HARD. And yes, Tsunami is only blue because she's a fish. And I'm not gonna lie, I'm not proud of my version of Starflight in any way (it’s literally just a Gitaxian probe). In my defense, it's hard to come up with a mechanic for him that doesn't revolve around making fun of his blindness XD
Arc 2 and the Darkstalker cast coming... whenever I next feel like it I guess. Hope you enjoy!
Hey chat! just popping in to ask for everyone's help on redesigning the males from my fantribe, Lurewings!
Lurewings are based on deep sea creatures and sea slugs!
the attached images are examples of a (current) male lurewing, and a female lurewing!
Lurewings have sexual dimorphism, so the males and females look different from each other!
I want to emphasise this and make it a bit more obvious, so was wondering if anyone had any ideas!
I have a few ideas in mind, but want to see if anyone else has any suggestions that would work as well! any help is greatly appreciated, even if it doesn't end up being used!
Lurewing lore (in case that helps)
- Lurewings have a monarchy with a Queen.
The queen has royal guards who were trained from a young age to protect and fight for her. Young females who excell in their combat training are chosen to become royal guards.
- Male lurewings may have jobs such as healer, caretaker, gardener, historian, or teacher.
- Hatchlings are raised by their dads.
- Males will participate in beauty competitions to attract a partner.
(smaller and more brightly coloured males are generally seen as more attractive)
She's SUCH an underrated character in my opinion, and it's a huge shame that she's appeared so little, and that Tui's forgotten about her to the point that she didn't even appear in Darkness of Dragons with the other NightWings. I really like her whole curious and goofy personality, I think she's pretty funny whenever she appears, and I like the little subplot that she got in Talons of Power, where Darkstalker gives her mindreading powers, and she starts to enthusiastically blurt out the thoughts of everyone around her.
And I appreciate that Tui put in the time to give her some depth, like having her be one of the few NightWings who likes Queen Glory and doesn't mind having a RainWing as her queen, and when we see her trying to help out her father after realizing how much pain he was in with her mindreading.
I would love to see her come back one day, but I already know that's never going to happen.
I originally went into this wanting to be a contrarian and thinking "no, if Mastermind were to use glass for the eyeholes of the helmet they would totally break!" but even if I used a different measuring method I dont think it would make up for it.
For some background, Mastermind is developing a helmet in book 4 that is supposed to protect the wearer from any encounters with venom. He gets around the problem of eyeholes by using a contrived system involving peripheral vision, but as many point out he could have used glass for the eyeholes instead. I wanted to see if the numbers actually support that idea, or if the force of the venom hitting the glass would be too strong for it and would cause it to shatter.
Trying to handle distances in WoF is famously a very annoying and inconsistent thing to do, so there isnt really one agreed upon answer. For the purposes of this post, I will be using this post byu/Th1s__0ne for my scale. In it, Glory is 16 and a half feet tall. Using Glory's reference image, we find that from tip to tail* she is 27.63 feet long.
*when her tail is curved in
Now looking at this image from the third GN, we can apporximate to say that Glory is about one and a half squares long. That would make one square 17.82 feet long.
1 square is equal to roughly 8 ticks on the distance board, so 1 tick is ≈2.3 feet. There are 33 ticks on the board, so it is ≈73.5075 feet long which Grandeur clears exactly in the next page. Note how the venom appears to fall as if losing speed, rather than her specifically aiming for that point.
Now for the other part of the equation, height. We know from the first image below that Grandeur(left) and Magnificent(center) are roughly the same size, and we know from the second that the same is true for Glory and Magnificent. Give or take a foot, Glory and Grandeur are the same height.
Hi KinkajouThe square sizes are different, couldnt tell you why ¯_(ツ)_/¯
If we say that Glory(or Grandeur) were to tilt their head and point their fangs around here which matches with what we have seen of RainWings using their venom, that would be three quarters of Glory's height at 12.375 feet.
Great penmanship from me there
Alright, cool, we have the starting height, distance and angle of the shot. Thats all we need to determine how fast it was going.
Using the formula t=sqrt(2h/g) and plugging in our variables of g=32.174 F/s2 and h=12.375 F we get a time of a little under a second at ≈0.877 seconds to complete. Since we also calculated the distance it traveled at ≈73.5075 feet, we can put those two numbers into distance/time and get a speed of 83.82 feet per second. Because for our purposes this is essentially one stream of fluid, we can calculate it like we would a pressure washer. If this website is to be believed, when we plug in the numbers (plus the diameter of the nozzle, which I set to 1 mm which is being very generous) into the formula F = ρ A V² where ρ=the fluid density(1000 Kgs/m3 ,water), A=the cross section of the fang(≈0.7 mm2) and V=the velocity of the fluid(≈25.54 m/s) we get a grand total force of...half a newton. Basically nothing. Any glass, no matter how thick, could withstand that.
Today is Indigo as Blob, and she is a wooden octopus dragon! I think she turned out so cute hehe. Again, not much to say lol
And for the question:
SPOILERS FOR DARKSTALKER!!
Were you shocked at the reveal of Indigo being trapped inside the wooden figure?
I certainly was! I knew a couple things that happened in DarkStalker, like Arctics death, and the Seawing Massacre, but I was NOT expecting that! I knew she wouldn't have abandoned Fathom though, they were so in love =3. How about you? Were you shocked, or did you predict it?
Come back tomorrow for Day 13!! Spooky number OoOoOOOOoooooh
Some factors that are beyond my reach didn't let me to get the Hybrid prince for the few months so I only got it a few days ago and just finished reading. It was cool actually, for the 16th book in the series I thought it might be worse than previous because of lack of ideas, but was surprised that it was cool as a start of the current arc.
To my knowledge. The only character to actually suffer a major death and affected them was Snowfall. I don’t know if bigtail and carnelian count here, but they might. I don’t think anyone really cared about kestrel anyways, but I could be wrong.
This drawing is the result of me having too much fun with filters 💖
This is my most evil oc, a seawing only known as A N G E L. He is the result of an experiment. He has 2 live brothers, he killed the rest of the clutch (about 13). He chased and mauled one of his 2 brothers for YEARS until he lost track of him. He's a very charismatic manipulator and if things don't go his way, he will lead them in the middle of the ocean and chase them until he sees the life leaving their eyes... He's such a good manipulator, there's a cult entirely dedicated to him-
New chapter of Peace and Its Shadow came out, and here is the artwork for it. Yeah, Peacemaker realizes that what he has gone through is absolutely insane, and his friends react to this very positively and there is totally no arguments whatsoever.
Characters: Peacemaker, Dusky, Bumblebee, Clawslasher(OC), and Venuswing(OC)
