The size and color of this crest is speculative, but I'm pretty happy with it. Perhaps the vibrance is influenced by how much carotenoids an individual consumes, as is the case w/ flamingos.

This is Orville, a character from my K: BTS AU and a member of the Dracomatter Squad. He is a Pteromatter, a Dracomatter variant that is themed after pterosaurs. Orville is the group's aerial attack specialist. He is named after Orville Wright of the Wright Brothers.
