In which Amanda has too many thoughts about a celestial AU, but, gosh darn it, she loves the sketches too much to let the embarrassment totally override posting them and sharing her transformation thoughts.
I do need to take out some anatomy books to really get the back working how I want. I want it to be very obvious that his entire back structure changes to accommodate those wings. Unfortunately, I always do these sketches at, like, 4am, which is not a time I want to research bird wing and human back and shoulder anatomy at.
(And I totally didn’t write it on the sheet, but until the feathers grow completely in, he’s basically oozing this black oil-like fluid. It coats the feathers and just is a constant point of discomfort.)
EDIT // Added last sketch showing kind of what size I think the wings would be once they’ve finished being painful and awkward.
@gallusrostromegalus I come to you with this, because if this is real, you will know and tell me.
They ARE real! They’re called Ayam Cemani, and They’re actually pretty hearty and chill as far as chickens go, despite looking like overzealous goths.
This particular rooster belongs to Greenfire Farms, and has been the subject of several magazine photoshoots, which is a pretty demanding job for most moelds, but I imagine it’s even harder when you are a small bird and nobody speaks your language..
They are also available for consumption in a lot of asian markets. I had some once and the meat was very nicely tender and flavorful- though I think that had more to do with the attention paid to them while cooking than any biological differences. It’s a very rare and special treat- I had mine at a wedding.
Two misconceptions: Thier blood is a normal red color, not black, and thier eggs are a delicate pastel pink. Also, the price has either dropped drastically or was stated wrong- Greenfire Farms is selling batches of 6 chicks for $99 usd, or 6-10 week olds for $400 a pop.
Stuart Semple made Glow-in-the-dark paint that’s bright enough to glow in normal light and can be charged by both light AND heat and it’s real fuckin good y’all. Note that this is only the powder and you need to buy the acrylic base(also sold on the site) to mix it in for it to stick to surfaces. [shop]
