Aquila by Akysi

Aquila

Akysi

More birds? More birds. This is Aquila, Aquarius’s companion and fellow bolt slinger! The constellation is based on the eagle that would bring Zeus his lightning bolts, and considering Aquarius’s weather / storm theming, that seemed like a good fit. I also took inspiration from the mythical thunderbird for similar reasons.

I haven’t figured out all of the size relations between the cast yet, but I picture her as a large bird that could carry others on her back while flying, which I suppose ties into her aviator theming as well. A melding of concepts, this one! I really leaned in on the angular shape language this time, aha.

Her colour scheme is, admittedly, the kind I use the least in my work, so I second guessed myself a lot on her palette while making this. ^^’ If I use green at all, it’s usually more on the blue-green side rather than yellow-green, and any time I use yellow it’s either an accent or on the yellow-orange side. Still, this does help round out the colour selection of the cast a bit! I’ve got quite the rainbow going at this point. xD Only one more companion to go!


The constellation symbol for Aquila was originally designed by Denis Moskowitz and released to the public domain. https://www.suberic.net/~dmm/astro/constellations_t.html
