oh I would love to see your take on Albatross. I love your seawing designs a lot!!

thank you so much! Even if sandwings are my favorite, I think I have the most fun designing seawings!

This is my redesign of Albatross - it took way longer than I expected, mostly due to a lack of planning which led to me needing to redo the drawing. I never really paid any attention to Albatross, and was happily surprised to see how complex his character really is - an animus haunted by guilt, he spends most of his life paying for a mistake from his childhood and is eventually driven to become the monster Lagoon tells him he is. I can't believe I just ignored him!!

I wanted Albatross' physical appearance to reflect how much his life revolves around Sapphire's murder by including a pattern which (subtly) resembles the curves on clamshells, which can be found on his arms/shoulder. furthermore, his claws/mouth are slightly red to mimic where Sapphire was hurt. His gills are drawn in red as well, but I was thinking more of the irritation that may come from spending too much time out of water when working on the summer palace. When it came down to coloring his tail, the red exists only to balance the design. His aquatic markings are dimmer than others I've designed because of a headcannon I have, where tribemates don't talk to him due to Lagoon's influence, and his flashes aren't used much as a result. Finally, I made the choice to give him yellow-green eyes to represent sickness and the slow poisoning of his soul.

Pertaining to his bird-like features, the design loosely uses albatross wing patterns, as well as including a beak-like snout and beady eyes.

Thank you so much for requesting a design, and thank you all for all of the support given to my last work! Please visit my blog if you're looking for your favorite's design, and don't be afraid to ask if they aren't there yet! I am open to taking even the most unrecognized of characters, as well as answering any other general questions you may have!

see you guys later (´꒳`)
