After doing the Solplumes, I started thinking about the other flights! I also took some feedback into account, like how my art style made them look cutesey-er than I intended ^^, Wind is one of my favorite other flights, with probably my 1# fave deity (Maybe 2 with Arcanist at 1), so I did them next! I took inspo from the flying/velvet fawn familiars, along with real snakes and flying squirrels! I couldn't think of a better name than simply [i]Gliders,[/i] but I'm spelling it wrong from here on out so it's more "name-y" I'm also giving them some fun lore [img]https://i.imgur.com/59lTYa7.jpg[/img] The Glyders, like the Windsinger, lack wings. But, since they can't float like him, they were given stretchy skin between their legs they can glide with. They like to climb tall trees and bamboo stalks to glide as far down as they can. But that couldn't be done [i]anywhere,[/i] so they invented the hot air balloons that are still used today! Most flights have found them around their territory, but they don't (intentionally) cause much trouble so most don't really care. Whenever they found themselves in the Auraboa's clans, they asked if they could climb Behemoth to glide back home. They never got a response. Here's some pictures of them in "flight" [img]https://i.imgur.com/T4kH0cT.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/sqYXENj.jpg[/img] A hatchling (Aprox. Cyan basic/Moon freckle/White kumo) [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ib248zP.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/9p482YP.png[/img] And a fullgrown with Boulder and Myrid.

Love it! Thinking of how to implement secondaries on a wingless dragon has always been hard to imagine, but this is so creative and has a pretty unique shape ^^

Coming back to say I also love this from a lore perspective bc Windsinger, despite his entire element being the air skies and winds, is one of two gods who DON’T have wing or wing-shaped appendages. So then it’s like he’s figuring out “okay how do mortals up??” And gliding is a good starting point. But it’s not quite Up but Slow Falling. So the next ones he gives like six wings bc more wing more up right??? And that works good! But Windsinger wants more and like oh hey birds do the up well let’s make a dragonbird.

It’s Winddad’s history of creative process, which is surprisingly coherent.
