Description
So, I haven't submitted anything for a good long while and most of the things I'm working on right now (commissions and portfolio work, if you're curious( I won't really be able to share, so I thought I'd upload my personal designs for some of the Lost Continent characters. I started an illustration with some of them in it and really struggled with it, because not only was I drawing a pretty complex background, I was designing the characters from scratch, too! So I sat down and did designs for Blue, Luna, Sundew and Cricket (although I won't be sharing the latter two for a few weeks because I'm busy and they're still sketches); hopefully, I'll be able to get to Swordtail and some of the more minor characters soon.I had so much fun designing Luna. I don't know what possessed me to do... soft pinks and greens and yellows, but I love her design? Don't be fooled though, Luna could absolutely beat you up. Like blue, she's got the 'flower before bloom' type wingbuds that I've always imagined when reading these books and the more butterfly-ish wings. Of course, I then realized that she and her brother looked nothing alike, so I gave her blue wings (which I think is in the book) so they'll match a bit after their metamorphosis.
I'd also absolutely adore it if you guys wanted to use my designs for these characters! (Although tag me if you do because I'd LOVE to see.)

I always had trouble imagining exactly what colors Luna would be in my head, this helps TONS! Also I like how you varied the wing shapes between her and Blue, it's really cool~
Aakabfdksf I know you are busy but I would love to see Swordtail in your style as well, so the trio of Silkwings is complete
Oh also I like how you show the iridescence of their scales as well, that was a really sweet idea~

Thank you! A big goal for me with these designs was to try to give them different body types (you guys haven't seen Cricket or Sundew yet, but they're really fun) and wing types, so you'd, hopefully, be able to tell them apart by more than just their colours/tribe-specific features. And yeah, I'm definitely gonna do a design for Swordtail! I imagine him as almost comically beefy from his work, so he's going to be super fun to design.

Different body/wing shapes are my favorites, it's always nice to see artists make each character really look unique
Omg yes aaha Swordtail sounds amazing XD I imagined him as like a jock-type too so that would be hilarious
