Even when developing a game. I always try to extract as much detail as I can & put it into the art and world. Here is an example of a design I've had in my mind for the skimmer-ships that travel the surface in

-OLD DRAWING-

Y'nai ( Ee-NYE) was a Gelfling of the Dousan Clan. She was in charge of tracking and breeding of the Crystal Skimmers, but beside her job, she loved to paint the various shifts of the Crystal Sea(Crystal Desert).

Various pterosaurs have been sometimes pictured as "skim-feeders". However, known pterosaurs lack the extreme specialisations found in present-day skimmer birds, Rhynchops sp. I studied the skulls of skimmers, then designed a hypothetically-plausible "skimming pterosaur".

For Valentine's my husband had surprised me with the Peacock Raptor skin because he knows peacocks are my favorite animal. Today I saw the Hummingbird Skimmer skin was on sale so I had to get it since hummingbirds are really special to me. I love them both so much

I still don't quite get what the skimmers really add to Infinite in lore or gameplay

I feel like they could have just as easily been drones or could have given their space to other units like the Engineer or the Banished's Skitterers

Recently?

As of late it's Dormir, Oreo, Aibu and Deecie.

I have like...almost 80 OCs, I need to vary! Pachy hasn't gotten a new pic in a hot minute for instance. And Skimmer's never gotten much.

Skimmers have unusually long lower bills to allow them to skim-feed over water surfaces while flying. Something I only realized today while sectioning? All of that underbite is keratin; the actual bone is the same length on both the upper and lower jaw!

Winter used to make me depressed but now I see it as a time to reflect upon the last season and prepare for future endeavors.
There's so much to explore!

The gaps in beaks that help with precise picking and grabbing was my inspiration for the new tupandactylus, but I plan to revisit it again, wondering if it was more of a skimmer. Then again I don’t know much about prerosaur anatomy atm.

HEY, HELLO. HEY. My account was compromised by a password skimmer 6 MONTHS AGO and twitters automated support is so bad that I was only able to recover it by making a second account and harassing twitter support directly out of desperation.
