These are some drawings I’ve made over the past few months of songs as dragons! Most of their colors are based off their album covers, but if not, then they’re based off of the color/vibe they give. Originally I was going to post these one per day but I don’t have the patience for that so…here you go
Whats your favorite crane wives album?? rn or in general
I was gonna ask fav song but that might be just too hard to pick lmao
Definitely TFIHWG, I love it SO much (I may or may not have every song in that album memorized-) (well that's the case for their entire discography soooo)
Favorite song...ummm, gotta be Canary in a Coal Mine or Here I Am
Or Back to the Ground
Or Once & for All
Or Easier
As you said it's hard to choose 😭
From the Ashes
Based on the hybrid ideas of @fifthhaemony! I love the idea of Jimmy as a phoenix so I had to draw him
Was I researching bird anatomy late at night for this? Yes. Do I have any regrets? Absolutely not
“Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away, and the other
Watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well, but he is a liar”
As evil as Darkstalker was, I think he deserved better. All he tried to do was protect Clearsight, Foeslayer, and Whiteout. Sure, he did it in some…i n t e r e s t i n g ways that were definitely not ok or even necessary , but maybe he could’ve been the savior everyone needed, if only Arctic had treated them better.
(I have read Darkstalker’s book about five times, btw. I’ve lost count at this point)
Song - Two Birds on a Wire by Regina Spektor
I recently finished watching Jimmy’s Third Life so naturally I had to make fanart
I love how Jimmy accidentally proposes to Scott and is like “I meant love for the flowers” and Scott was just like “no”
I was trying out a new style and I actually think it didn’t turn out too bad!

Song - Caleb Trask by The Crane Wives
Kind of strange how the season Martyn won was the only season Ren was not in.
Did Ren see his win coming and manipulate the Watchers into letting him stay away, only to reward Martyn his crown at the end?
I dunno, I just feel like there's something to that.
So…Martyn’s latest Misadventures episode, huh?? The FLASHBACKS I had.
Martyn’s Misadventures episode “The Man of Many Guilds” (the latest one) spoilers ahead! The fact that Sausage warned Martyn that his death was going to be painful, but this was what was needed for Martyn to have permission to kill people?
The way that Martyn stood crouched with his head bowed as Sausage killed him, and how his last words before Sausage hit him were “this feels familiar”? Martyn was on the receiving end this time.
I’m going crazy.
"Isn't this what you wanted?
Time sure feels like it's running out
Just finish what you started
Queen of nothing, wearing
Such a heavy crown"
(Song - Queen of Nothing by The Crane Wives)
Drew this quick thing based on @karmaandsin’s Grian poem :D
I made things!

Can we talk about how well most Crane Wives songs fit the Life series???
For example, Shallow River for DL!Pearl:
"May the whole sky fall/May it all come down/Wasted all for the title/Wasted all for the crown"
Little Soldiers for Dogwarts:
"I fought with tooth and nail before the flag had flown, but you were already gone"
Canary in a Coal Mine:
Do I even have to explain?
October for Scott and Jimmy:
"Come my dear and be a part of my home/Missing stitch and flowers on a headstone"
The Well for the Ranchers:
"That old house, those rotting memories, burned easier than I'd have thought"
Allies or Enemies for Desert Duo:
"Are we allies or enemies?/This will be the death of me, this will be the death of me/All is fair in love and war, but I can't fight with you anymore/This will be the death of me"
The Hand That Feeds for TL!Martyn:
Pretty self-explanatory
Once & for All for the Red King:
"Dodge bullets and fire spray, my blood's forever on your hands/When my ghost sings my battle cry, you'll be too sorry to dance"
And that's only a handful. It's terrifying how many more there are.
You should go check them out if you haven't already. I will drag you into this Crane Wives obsession with me and you will never escape. *cackles in nerd*
