As Much As I Love That Klapollo Is The Epitome Of An Interesting Cool Guy Ever Falls For Just A Guy Dynamic

as much as i love that klapollo is the epitome of an Interesting Cool Guy Ever falls for Just A Guy dynamic ... klavier very clearly thinks apollo is the coolest guy in the world. like he calls apollo cool several times in 4-2 Alone

let's be soooo for real. if someone referred to apollo as Just A Guy klav would be flabbergasted. offended even. what's cooler than a 5'5 transmasc guy who stares autistically in court for a living?

early morning apollo doodles while i figure out how the hell to draw him?? he's so geeby. i need to throw him at a wall (endearingly)

shockingly, no klavier drawings... yet. that may change later today so LOOK OUT!!!!! he's coming. maybe

at a concerrttt yyessss yessss

klapollo >:3

design notes

some quick justifcations/explanations below cut!!:

Them being of the same bird family is important to me... (honorary mention to the snowy owl for Kristoph) (also honorable mention to the paradise crow) (but i like them having matching ribbons)

I originally tried giving Klav the whole fluffy back of yellow/white feathers, but (a) he looked SO over complicated (especially compared to everyone else) and (b) I realized that no other character has back feathers, anyways. so it would make sense he does not either.

The ribbon-tails are similar to Apollo and Trucy's hearts: they both inherit this feature from one of their parents. (One parent is a stephanie's astrapia, one is a lesser bird-of-paradise). (Also of note: the lesser bird-of-paradise also has two long wire plumes, if you look closely)

Tails: (Klav's is basically a ribbon-tailed astrapia's tail btw.) Because the tail is such a notable feature of these species, I'm including it, though they also come from the base of the wing (though I'll probably just draw them as essentially tails in the future), and are much shorter than they would be, were they proportional.

i got very lazy on the individual introduction sheets they're so bad 😭😭 i hope the other drawings make up for it !! >:3
