Feathered Skywings - Blog Posts
I'm at my aunts house and I got bored so BOOM my peril design
Her feathers are sharp and wild because of her manic personality, all the sharp and scattered points also represent the fact that she's really not a good planner as described in her book. It also shows how scattered her brain is as she cannot remember faced well. (As described on the wiki. Thank you wof wiki you are my SAVIOR) Peril is so used to sizing dragons up to fight that she doesn't store their features in her mind. Because they always die so quickly if she does battle them. the blue to represent the hottest fire can ever get, because of her fire scales, or in this case, feathers. Due to her being a firescales, Peril was so used to dragons being afraid of her, and this just seemed to feed her manic nature even more. And Scarlet being Scarlet DID NOT HELP. And I think that though skywings would kill their firescales and animus dragonets the moment they hatched, I feel as if firescales would have been useful in many different ways, one would be, yes, defense, but others could be blacksmithing, architecture, ect. It just makes me sad that these dragons would kill their young just because they were deemed evil because of something genetic. And lastly, her star pupil to represent her determination. She goes through so much from the moment she hatches. Being a firescales means that now everyone is out to get her and kill her just because of something she was born with. But she is strong and lives through all of it. From being abandoned by kestrel, to being made a killing machine, to meeting Clay and freeing the DoD, to help save scarlet from burn, free sunny and help her and thorn, to saving Clay's life to all of the events in escaping peril. She is one of the strongest dragons in the books. Not just because of her physical strength but also her just being her. It represents her passions and her desires. It represents how far she would go for her friends and how much she would do for them.
All in all, I'm really proud of this design, and I really like it because peril is and will be my favorite skywing ever. She's so silly and squeezable. I love her development throughout the books and just her in general. She is my Billy ever.
Again, with Mr Microwaves' design and opinions, I really dislike how they completely change her design from the original. SHE IS BRONZE as described in The Dragonet Prophecy. But in the graphic novels and the actual cover of Escaping Peril, they completely push that aside and make her bright orange. Now, don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE her design. I just wish Tui kept to her original description. But I understand that they wanted to lean into the fact that "oh! This dragon makes everything burn the moment she touches it!" And it shows that with the slight glow that she has in escaping peril. Along with all the smoke surrounding her.
HAWK OF THE SKYWINGS
*****
More about him under the cut! :3
7 years old (around 20 human years)
She/he pronouns, prefers the latter. Abrosexual.
Voice claim: Marshall Lee - Adventure Time
Fugitive, running from the sky kingdom. Murdered his noble father after he threatened to kill his seawing lover. Jasper reasoned that he needed to keep his family safe, but just wanted to save and uphold his own image. Hawk doesn't regret it as he did it to keep Seaglass safe.
Hiding out in the bay of a thousand scales on a remote island. It reminds him of home in a way. Other than the smell of salt water. Loves the life as he gets to be with his girlfriend
Is VERY paranoid he'll be found any moment, he's willing to fight to the death for his and Seaglass's new life.
Plucked the feathers on his wrists due to anxiety, does the same with his other feathers. Has a mix of feathers and scales.
Loves when his feathers get stroked by Seaglass, it grounds him.
Sends secret messages to his mother, he misses her dearly.
Got his scars by his father before he killed him. He hates them. It reminds him of that night.
Misses is father, even though the male dragon was a selfish monster. Remembers when he was a sweet and caring dragon. Tries to block out the bad with the good.
The last dragon in my trilogy of sillies, Hawk the Skywing!
He uses she/he pronouns (but prefers the latter, he likes the masculine sound of it)
Fun fact - he's a fugitive! He's running from the skywing kingdom for a murder. (More about that at a later date)
Second fun fact - he and seaglass are together! They both are currently hiding out on a (soon not to be) secluded island in the bay of a thousand scales.
