Here with more Vitellaria and burn art! Saw that people really enjoyed them in my last post which really motivated me to draw them both once again!!!

As I said in my last post, Vitellaria is an outcasted RainWing, though I never really got into why she was outcasted in the first place. It really started when she began to consume more meat than fruit within the RainWing kingdom. She’d hunt smaller prey like monkeys and sloths, which irked the RainWings, as these creatures were often seen as pets. She was pretty apathetic towards the RainWing norms and completely refused to try to fit in, which led to her exile.

Vitellaria never truly thought her exile was just, and this anger simmered within her and manifested as hatred for her own tribe. She would always try to prove herself as more than just a lazy RainWing, especially when she moved to the Kingdom of Sand during her exile. During her stay in the desert, she’d sell small taxidermies of rare animals that she had brought back from the rainforest and would actually make quite a name for herself within the Scorpion Den. This is where Burn would take note of her skills and ask her to work on a few ‘special’ pieces.

Despite her popularity as a foreign merchant, Vitellaria faced lots of discrimination due to all the hate directed towards RainWings at the time. Despite this, Vitellaria never took it personally, as she refused to even see herself as a RainWing, but she didn’t quite like how it impacted her sales during the early days of her career as a seller. At first, she’d try to change her scales to match that of a SandWing, though that didn’t change much and simply put off buyers, as she looked almost uncanny, like another dragon wearing the skin of a SandWing. She’d soon simply settle on her natural color palette and create a name for herself despite this setback.

Vitellaria was actually recommended to Burn as a taxidermist. Burn wasn’t told that she was a RainWing and simply assumed Vitellaria was another SandWing merchant. Though when they finally met in person to discuss the commission, Burn was not too keen on having a RainWing take on the job. However, Burn acknowledged Vitellaria’s talent and soon found that she was the only one who would be able to stomach the thought of taxidermying another dragon and bring her Weirdling Tower to life.

Small full body of Vitellaria hehe

People should make more doomed by narratives siblings relationship.

Like with lovers you can just sever it and not have it related to you ever again but with siblings how could you?

You grow up with them you raise them or they raised you you both know how unforgiving the world is to both of you? You would die for them but will hate them for doing the same and yet none of you would regret it and both of you know it. They could be the person you loath the most and miss the most cause you still remember how they sneaked a candy into your hands. You can sever the tie but you can never look away at what you've lost, at whom you've lost because fate doesn't allow you to be together, eating dinners in quiet peace, if only there's another life, another time, where i can make you another plate of pancakes i would im sorry im sorry im sorry —

I think that this is the first animation I’ve ever actually finished! Usually I get bored after the first few hours, but I guess the built up energy after not drawing her for a month finally exploded. I’ve learned a lot and actually had fun, maybe I’ll animate more often!

But how do FlipaClip animators ever get anything done?? Animating is hard enough without an app that hates you. Anyways. Warrior cats.

who out thinking about the character

I hope that somewhere out there there’s a transfem who’s giving my deadname all the love I never could growing up

I have so many stickers and no idea where to put them urgh

Pspsps
