Hahhhh... I've told myself I would finish this one before pride month ends, and though the weather itself conspired to prevent me, it was not enough to stop me.

I've mentioned this one before. When I posted spider comic, I briefly alluded in passing to another mysterious work called soap comic. This is that comic.

It's my headcanon that most Sandwings are severely hydrophobic. It's mostly based on the fact that Sunny seems to hate being in contact with water and does things like standing on top of Clay to avoid getting wet whenever she has to be near any.

Yes, there are several instances of my hypothesis being contradicted. Palm eagerly dives into an oasis (though she was quite thirsty at the time) and Deserter mentions baths in the palace (can't really refute that one). I'm choosing to be in denial about it. Please let me have this, I need it.

Winter acts disgruntled here, but I think he secretly enjoys that he gets to do this.

Just for fun I recorded some time lapses of me drawing these pages. You can look at them and see me flounder through the process if that's the sort of thing you enjoy looking at (screencap frequency is 1 per minute):

SilkWing flight

In Lepidopteran (butterfly and moth) flight, the wings are mechanically coupled and always flap together. The downward stroke of the forewing propels the hindwing. Also, the hindwing aids in aerial maneuverability and generating lift, by contributing to the total surface area of the wing.
