Description
Here's the instagram post!www.instagram.com/p/B_8qY5CJvh…
So I have had this lame idea for a couple of years now but never really got into making it a thing. So since it's #mermay , I got reminded of this concept. So I decided to make it an open species ♡ (which means anyone can make a design, I'd just a little credit for the original concept, thanks~)
Use #AirmaidOC if you make your own design, I would love to see your versions!
Honestly I'd want to see much more creative designs than my rushed examples haha
Rules:
❗please don't base the airmaids colors on the birds, just base their wings on the bird's wings and feathers
❗please don't make the furries, they're human-looking only
Airmaid fun facts:
- They can't touch the ground or they lose their ability to fly
- If they want to fly again, they need to free-fall to catch wind under their wings again
- They usually fall off cliffs or buildings to be able to fly again
- If the fall is not long enough, they'll injure themselves or fall to their death
- When airmaids die, they turn into clouds
- Airmaids are able to produce a light cotton material that looks and floats like clouds, they lay their eggs in these nests
- Airmaids eat any living creatures they can catch in the sky
- There's folklore's of airships catching glimpses of airmaids where they follow them in the middle of the storm to safety
- Airmaids are female only
- Airmaids are distant to humans, they are seen just as folklore to them, something only a few believe in
- Airmaids sometimes visit earth out of curiosity and sometimes steal items and clothing for fun
- It's almost surely a death sentence to visit the ground, so it's illegal in their culture
- However, some rebels visit hot springs in the mountains to relax. This is dangerous as well, because they need to be 100% dry to be able to fly again. They need to be sure they can fall from a high place to fly again
- they don't grow legs when they can't fly. They crawl on the ground and have a snake-like movement to them. They're not graceful this way though
- Airmaids are not civilized creatures like humans. They're more like wild birds, they're good with mimicking humans if they ever come across one.
- Airmaids can have powers, but the powers should be somehow related to the environment. Be sky/weather/air related.
- When airmaids are born, their color will be based on the weather/sky color the sky had as they hatched. Their skin absorbs the light and it sticks to them permanently.

Doesn't that remind me of the mermaid whose wish candies were expended and she died and turned into a "skymaid" in The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack?

Haven't watched that, so it's not based on it.

no need to be rude. I hear " where r her orgaginshgshsgshg" way too much on twitter, except lots of people say it to harass artists and demean them. So joke or not, you say something dumb publicly, I'm gonna tell you what I think.
