I was re-reading Grimmons fics, and I got nostalgic for the feathers~
(Simmons has his cybernetic one off and out of the way... also, I just like Grif being doted on haha)
Aah thank you for this! I love the boys so much, especially when winged <3

Day 23 - “oc you relate to the most” [ list x inktober2019 tag ]
Clover, from shards of moon. She’s been with me since i was 14; my high-school persona (through many iterations since then) and the character in which i explore some pretty personal topics. Her personality is a bit rough around the edges at the moment, the whole story is still nebulous- but i’m very optimistic about writing it!

I thought that you were a rose and let you lay in my bed; But you made a home beneath my skin I’m the flood to uproot you, I’m the storm overhead; and you’ll never feel the sun again [x]
This is backlog now, but it felt weird not to post the last few on tumblr as I have been… so here ya go! Please check out the nice clean scans on my DA too!

Blue’s Feathers and Wings Compendium: Standard Wing Shapes
Wings Part 1 [Standard ]| Wings Part 2 [Atypical] | Feather Markings | Tail Feathers [Part 1] | Tail Feathers [Part2]
I have expanded the traditional 4 types; Highspeed, Elliptical, Low Aspect and High Aspect ratio, because they were very narrow and vague categories for the most part, adding High Energy, Thermal Soaring, Night Glider, and Passerine wings. I feel that these extra types make it easier to understand and visualize the differences and similarities between wing shapes.
I’ve renamed Low Aspect to Powered Soaring, and High Aspect to Dynamic Soaring for the purposes of the fact that names made it hard to understand purpose and were easily confusable.
A lot of these wing types are also affected by tailfeather shape and size, and that will change their agility and energy expenditure as the tail also generates lift.

Cool series of tutorials on wings!
