BUILD YOUR OWN WORLD Like what you see? Become the Master of your own Universe!

Bestiary Februrary

Hello World! I ended up taking an unplanned hiatus for the month of January on any and all worldbuilding...but! couldn't miss out on this month's challenge! While I enjoy many aspects of worldbuilding, creature creation is what got me started all those years ago. I am going to use this challenge to do some sketches of each creature for each prompt. I may even add in some new creatures!

Glimmerwings

Wings

The Glimmerwing is a small song bird that is found throughout Rysidor, along prominent gosamyr rifts. These little birds are one of a few speices that migrate based on the source of gosamyr. Their colors and glimmers are based on the type of gosamyr that is in the area and in their food sources.
