i enjoy fluffy wof designs… however, i abandoned the fluffy design here in favor of a smooth, velvety look. i’d still give plenty of fluff to other tribes (icewings and silkwings for sure, as well as some visible fur on sandwings and skywings, among others), but the fur here is now confined to the underbelly/face and is very short and smooth. i think most dragons in my headcanon would have at least SOME fur… i’m thinking of them as sort of “reptilian mammals”.

for skywings… no more feathers! no feathers for any dragons here. very sad. but i didn’t like them having feathers when no other dragons did… so, a very standard western dragon look it is. they have short, coarse fur on their underbelly/neck as well as their face. i also wanted them to be Long and Tall…

for seawings, nothing much changed besides making them longer and shorter. i was already pretty happy with the design; i think the big fin tail is fun, and the wings are very easy to draw lol. i’ve duller the colors, as i’m sure there could be seawings with the original coloration i used, but an average one would probably be more sea-blue.

before, i think i had given rainwings a vague butterfly-inspired design theme, with those big butterfly wing ears. now i’d rather confine butterfly themes to silkwings, so i’ve instead given rainwings a flower motif, inspired by the awesome way @/rotten-m3 draws glory. these flower frills can be smoothed or fluffed up at will and to emphasize emotions, show off, etc… the size and shape of them can also vary quite a bit from rainwing to rainwing. also of course, colors and markings are highly variable.
