Description

I drew this on a piece of scrap paper a few years ago, after looking at way too many 1960s Dior dresses. The color scheme is based on the plumage of the red-winged blackbird, which is one of my favorite birds.

I LOVE this btw I know I've been gone for a good minute but you've improved so much! I especially love the "framing" going on.

Thanks. I was really pleased with how this one turned out too.

The best kind of shapeshifting powers are the ones that come with symbolically matching pretty cloths. Would they even be worth it otherwise?

Sadly - and I didn't realize it when I drew this - red-winged blackbirds are one of those species where only the males get the pretty plumage! Actually, the females look pretty too, but they're overall more brownish with little golden/orange patches on their wings. Maybe I should do another one that reflects that coloration.

You totally should. Only make it a guy and then tell people that it's a subversion of gender expectations that was 100% planned and completely intentional from the very start.
