Gravity Fires? pt2

By popular demand (from my siblings): the other half of the Gravity Falls zodiac as dragons! Plus Mabel's friends

Top row: Gideon, Candy, Grenda. Middle row: Robbie. Bottom row: Old Man McGucket, young man McGucket, Pacifica.

This one took even longer than the last one, thanks to a music camp I had to go to in the middle. McGucket's banjo took forever too

Some masquerade costumes and some setting practice.

A handful of setting studies: the underground lake (ft. Fathom and Darkstalker), the opera house's Grand Staircase (ft. Whiteout), and the rooftop (ft. Listener and Clearsight).

Operastalker pt2

(Part 1)

Alright, so now that I've thought about this for two months straight and read the original novel of Phantom of the Opera, there has been some shuffling of roles.

Specifically, I was wrong about Raoul being Fathom. That role is much better filled by Clearsight's school friend Listener. (Still not romantic, though.) *

FATHOM, displaced from the role of Vicomte and probably not ever right for it in the first place, now shares with Indigo the role of the Persian, book Erik's old friend who gets cut from nearly every adaptation of PotO despite being the coolest character in the book.

Meanwhile, we also have here the character who was easiest to cast--Carlotta and Allknowing are just straight up the same character: the skilled, respected professional who resents being replaced by the antivillain's young, talented crush.

Also featured are Silverclaws (based on La Sorelli from PotO-the-book, who has no equivalent in either the musical or WoF) and Daddy Daaé (who just doesn't get a name, I guess, because neither Tui Sutherland nor Gaston Leroux thought he needed one).

*Brown-tabby-stripes Listener comes from user Oleandy on DeviantArt, who I'm not going to link to because Mom doesn't want my little siblings (who follow this blog) running around on DeviantArt.

Prince Albatross

An Albatross design--for the Operastalker universe, technically, but it works as a general-purpose one too.

Wings of Fire/The Phantom of the Opera?

Specifically, a crossover AU where the characters from Phantom are fused with the characters from Legends: Darkstalker, because my brain operates on a constant wavelength of "crossover fanfiction" and also there are some very nice character parallels.

Or: Darkstalker AU where Darkstalker hatched with a deformed face and all the magic is replaced with music and also everyone is French for some reason.

Please do click on the image to view it larger. I can't make it display any bigger without it bleeding out into the sidebar.

Before you ask, no, Fathom and Clearsight are not in love in this universe, and yes, this does give the Phantom a sister, and no, I don't know where Indigo is.

(Me: Ooh, I could make a comic out of this!
The sane half of me: You want to draw a comic set in the Paris Opera House? Have you seen that building?
Me: ...Okay, nevermind.)

Prince Fathom

This headshot was from a larger sketchpage that I may or may not post, but I ended up really liking this Fathom design, so here it is on its own.

The Royal SeaWing Siblings

...Well, 11.111111111111% of them. Clockwise from top left: Tsunami, Turtle, Auklet, Anemone.

Pulelehua

The pen-and-watercolor sketches for a Wings of Fire fan continent I was working on, uhh...a year ago today, apparently. Huh.

I haven't thought about this setting for a while, so we'll see if I remember any of the details. Rambling under the cut.

SeaWing

Just some royal SeaWing I did for practice, but it came out kinda nice.

Shadow Claws

I did design sketches for some of my WoF OCs a couple weeks ago, and I love how they turned out, so I figured I'd share them. These characters are all part of a secret organization known as the Shadow Claws, dedicated to overthrowing the queens of Pyrrhia. I've tried hard to give them unique, recognizable designs while still making them look like the tribe they belong to.

Note: these were originally all one image that I digitally chopped up, so the spacing is a little weird on some of them.

Fer-de-lance is a SandWing/RainWing hybrid and the leader of the Shadow Claws. She's named for and patterned after a highly venomous Central American pit viper, and she's one of my oldest WoF OCs, dating back to 2014 (although the design is new).

Albacore is a SeaWing and the Shadow Claws' head assassin. His design is based on the albacore tuna, for which he's named, and the nonbreeding plumage of the common murre.

Oribi the SandWing is one of Albacore's apprentices. He's not very well developed. His wings are based on the Montagu's harrier.

Petrel the IceWing is also one of Albacore's apprentices, but she's a little better developed. She's designed after the Cook's petrel, and to a lesser extent the cape petrel, although the latter's influence is hard to see in this picture. Also hard to see here is her broken left horn.

Owl's been featured here before, and her design's pretty much the same. The undersides of her wings weren't visible, though. She's another of Albacore's apprentices, a NightWing/SkyWing hybrid he raised pretty much from hatching.

Ibex the SkyWing is a fairly low-ranking member of the SC. His wings are based on the booted eagle and the rest of his design is based on the Iberian ibex. His wing's not actually tattered, I just didn't color it properly since it was overlapped by Albacore in the full file.

Hamerkop the MudWing is a doctor/scientist for the SC. His design isn't based on any animal in particular--MudWings are described in the books as sometimes having gold underbellies, but I've never seen an OC like that, so I figured I'd make one. He's named after an African waterbird.
