@flamingsolaris No it’s a hobby, a few designs are based on fic descriptions and a few are from au’s I’ve been thinking about but mostly I just wanted to draw a giant monster then also started watching spn at the same time so you get this. + spite bc all the spn monsters show are just some guy
@flamingsolaris you fool you’ve tapped into my specific insanity about the angel true forms In supernatural, Castiel’s specifically is the one I’m currently work shopping so have a tread of all the messy sketches I’ve made the hydra design is my current fav
@flamingsolaris There’s so many fun interpretations out there, my go to angle/demon theming is the demons were once humans so their horror stems from what humans are capable of (visceral biological designs) and the angels are this thing that’s nowhere near humanity so non biological designs
First one is based on northern sparrow’s forgotten + flight series (peak supernatural fic with lots of angel biology worldbuilding) and the second is my own take on castiel’s wing design loveeee giving him extra wings
@flamingsolaris Basically I’ve got 2 minds there’s the actual creature design (my fav because biology and it fits my art style) then the bullshit incomprehensible thing that is just light and shapes I think that fits cannon better and you can make some insane looking things with this
Having the worst internet know to man will really make you a solider for media preservation, if I can’t access something I’ve paid for offline I will make a way
Been driving excavators and manual cars longer than auto so when I did start driving them I would keep one foot on each peddle, I have now been informed that this is psycho behavior
@flamingsolaris Thank you tan black colour scheme my beloved and you can’t give me the mythology of seraphs having 6 wings and not expect me to capitalise on it
I was looking at flight for all the mentions of feathers and it’s so detailed also Dean is constantly complimenting them lol
Giving cas black wings that are oil slick iridescent seems to be the most common look for him I’ve seen.
Hats off to people who do iridescent rendering especially on variable textures like feathers because that’s difficult as hell.
Grackle, starling and rooster for reference
@stormfall10 I always thought they were black with that oilslick rainbow shine (but more intense colors than naturally possible like you see on ravens and chicken tail feathers)
Every artist should have a discord full of insane biologists, I bring them eldritch creature designs and they’re spec evo’ing that bastard so fast. It’s got a life cycle now, we’ve worked out its optimal environment. This is enrichment for us
the discord i was talking about is a university one. so instead of sharing that i've made a separate server for all the people who were asking for one, come say gday https://t.co/tkx2nSSmvv
