Who thought that they would post drawings regularly? I thought.
Artblok thought differently.
And then in the chat they suggested drawing Sunstreak on Design meme.
I usually don't draw canon characters unless I'm asked to do so.
But my love for showing off my headcanons got me into drawing.
Sunstreak. And my headcanons for BeetleWings(and HiveWings, and SilkWings).
When I first saw the tribal designs, the wings quickly became the object of my ire.
Insect wings. which do not bend. and are attached only to the limb.
The last straw was the children Sunstreak and Clearsight. These massive Nightwings bodies have butterfly wings. And Hivewings can also have transparent wings.
Result: The wings are movable and cannot be transparent. But BeetleWings and descendants have an additional joint in the wing manus, which, when the muscles are tense, locks the wing motionless in an extended state. Other tribes don't have this. The wing membrane is attached to the body. And these are full-fledged wings, which have a shape similar to the wings of insects. The composition of the scales from the wings differs in composition from the scales from the rest of the body. Therefore, the wings feel different to the touch and their color may differ radically from the main color.
Beetlewings also have wings like bees or dragonflies. Wings Silkwings are a mutation of the wider wings of Nightwings - the result of several hybrid generations.
On the other hand: antennas growing from the temples have no justification other than my personal whim. (I don’t like it when they grow from the forehead.)
