Description
Meet the Butterfly Thief, he glides silently by night on silk wings... to steal your shiny stuff!
okay seriously, this is another character from my 'Flight Captain' series ([link] ). He is not himself a Flight Captain nor did he ever train as one but is brought into Owl's flight squad when yet-to-be-named-expendable-character dies in combat.

He doesn't have the standard issue wings because he's never been a 'fledgling', but a pair of silk gliders which he painted himself to match that of the Holly Blue butterfly, earning himself the nickname Butterfly Thief making reference to his choice of wing but also his unparalleled stealth.
His helm also mimics that of the butterfly's, and because Flit has a taste for the dramatic he tends to wear it regardless of whether he is in flight or not.
He's a relatively shy fellow, but kind and jovial when comfortable.
To make up for his size (he is both short and extremely skinny) he is quite abrupt and to the point, especially when dealing with people he doesn't know very well.
He lives on the tallest tree in the desert (the Flight Captain fleet live in a clump of very very tall very very old Adansonia Grandidieriin trees ([link] ) in a desert and wears furs against the drastic drop in temperatures at night.
the hood and cuffs are lined with feathers so he has to be careful where he wears it, most Captains find it extremely distasteful and some think it should be illegal and severely punishable.
flit simply thinks he looks good.

i'm pretty darn happy with this picture because i haven't been able to draw much recently, and also because the colours and shading really work.
