IRONWINGS!!!! ironwings for Twig!!!!

this is Version 1.0, or the version Gussie first gives Twig. i tried to channel some of that messy look/streamlined functionality feel that comes with early versions of inventions (especially with Gussie’s steampunk-esque style), combined with the description that the wings are (i think) tarp/canvas type material stretched across metal frames, so you have differing colors and fabrics stitched or layered together (mimicking actual feather sections on wings), with extra folds for the wings to fully extend.

i also put straps to attach to the body (like a harness) and of course the skystone shards in the framework. i also tried to make it fairly bird wing-shaped, just because that’s what they’d be familiar with using. this is definitely more of a function > form type of design though overall; Gussie just made it as practical as possible (it’s not painted in clan colors or anything fancy like that).
