Hummingbird - Blog Posts

Here is Hummingbirds full-body ref! ^^

Like I said, a lot more colorful and skinnier than most Fruitwings, not really inspired by any real fruit either, (she kinda looks like one of those rainbow tiger pictures you see on the front of kid coloring books - -*). I didnt really feel like making her scales shiny like how they usually are, partly bc I need her ref colors but mostly bc I was lazy ^^* overall I hope you like her!! I sure do! #> <# <3

This is hummingbird, my new Fruitwing oc!! (She’s actually a recycled oc but eh-)

She is trans-female, which you can see in her coloring, and is a somewhat strange dragon. She’s thinner than most Fruitwings and her tail is particularly skinny and longer than normal. To most other Fruitwings she looks sickly at first sight. Her name itself is also quite strange, “hummingbird”, it doesn’t go by most fruitwing naming conventions, and many she meets have trouble remembering her name, some more traditional dragons refuse to call her that at all. Though some dragons have trouble first meeting her, it doesn’t stop her from forming good connections with her tribe, and she is actually considered quite beautiful to other fruitwings.

Her scales and horns are her pride and joy. She cleans the twice a day-daily and avoids damaging them as much as possible to keep them from fogging or dimming. Her scales have a beautiful shine to them, almost opal like in appearance. Colors shift across her body depending on what angle you look at her from. Her horns are almost like ivory, gleaming like pearls. She cleans and oils her beak regularly and she never eats messily.

Almost contradictory to that, she works at her villages only daycare, doing arts and crafts with the dragonets there. She is immensely patient with them and wants to have her own dragonets one day. But she struggles with her perfectionism, and can get quite firm with them is they mess up any materials, leader forbid her scales. As desperately as she wants a mate and dragonets, she doesn’t think she’s ready for it. For now, the daycare is enough for her.

I hope you guys like her!! I had an absolute blast experimenting with a more painterly style for her!! And her colors were so fun to mess around with ^^

She’s actually a lot more colorful in her full-body, but I haven’t had a chance to get to that yet ^^* I hope to tho

I hope you guys like this, @Insert-name for the species inspiration, and I’d love to see any of y’all’s ideas for the tribe, or possibly ocs?? 👀 but anyway, love yall, hope you have a great rest of your- er- year, week, day, night? whatever

See yall hopefully soon! ^^ 🫶

My rainwing/skywing oc:

Credit to @teethwitheyes101-blog for this amazing concept! Please check them out!they are an amazing artist!

What if skywing were coloured based on the hotness of their fire?

Darker and red skywings are looked down upon and lighter yellow/white sky wings are treated better.

Blue skywings are treated almost like royalty and light blue ones are extremely rare.

Lighter white blue skywings are often mistaken for icewings by other dragons.

There hasn’t been a white blue skywing born in centuries, and they are talked about like angels.

(Btw all of these skywings are free adopts! Y’all can ask for one :)

You’re welcome

Everyone listen to this beautiful piece of song!

Hey everyone! I’ve been (very slowly) learning about writing music and I officially completed my first song! If you’d like feel free to give a listen below!

I’m sorry I had to

Alto I just diacovered the ultimate Sephiroth birb:

The Sword-billed Hummingbird

omfg that's perfect lmao he no longer needs Masamune to get the job done.

I entered a three-day course to learn how to paint birds in watercolor, and it really is more difficult than I expected XD The techer made a really nice texture and shading, but my watercolors dripped all over the drawing (I'm not sure if that how is said in english ^^"), I know I need to practice my watercolor technique more, but I decided to do it digitally to see how it would look in a medium that I know how to use. It still has flaws in the plumage but it's just a practice, anyway I hardly paint birds in general, so it's something I need to improve a lot ^^"

How about a hummingbird for the bird requests they are very pretty!!!

HI !!! Yes of course! Here’s an extra shiny Costa’s hummingbird!

Hummingbirds can beat their wings up to 80 times a second during normal flight and up to 200 times per second during a courtship dive. They are the only bird that can fly forwards, backwards, up, down ,sideways and  hover in mid air.

Title: Sanctuary of Onaya.

by JoLu Amaringo

In this visionary artwork we can see the shrine of the sublime master Onaya in this temple we can find the path to heavenly wisdom. The spirits encountered by the vegetalist in this journey are his masters, and from them he gets the entrance to the spiritual temple, which is composed of living pearls and precious gems. The columns of this sanctuary are made of flawless diamonds that can never be defiled.

Only the pure of heart enlightened by love, humility and wisdom can enter the magnificent and sacrosanct temple. In the water of the waterfall we see on the right side of the temple are the anguilamamas, who discharge electromagnetic rays that protect the sanctity of the temple. Also visible are the indigenous warriors who also act as guardians. The extraterrestrial ships at the top are from another galaxy and have traveled for thousands of years and visited many worlds to extract minerals and reach the Amazon jungle to receive vital energy.

The green patiquina in the lower right is used to represent a person's lungs; the different shades of green from the edge of the leaf to its center indicate the state of the person's lungs.

The hummingbird we see in this visionary work acts as a messenger. Its sweet trills are the most delicate and sublime icaros to sing to people seeking new strength or suffering from dreadful diseases. However, they must be sung with the utmost precision. These celestial spirits inhabit the palaces and temples at the top, where they gather to sing songs of worship.

Finally below is the sachamama (mother of the forest). She projects an electromagnetic rainbow symbolizing the elements that fertilize the plants. The healers in the ceremony are chanting the icaro of the sachamama to prevent the sorcerers from thwarting their work.
