What kinds of wing are shown?

Feathered angel wings, bat wings and insect wings, with the butterfly, dragonfly and fairy wings in the third row.

What is the difference between the three styles?

Clean contour outlines every feather, membrane or vein, wing structure draws the bones first and the covering over them, and inked detail uses fine hatching on the feathers and membrane.

Are these photographs?

No. Each sheet is a flat line drawing on a plain white sheet, with no text and no labels.

Can I ask for a different wing?

Yes. Type a direction such as dragon wings or small wings, and it is a request for that, not a promised result.

Reading 2Bat wings

Reading 3Insect wings

A wing reads as real when the bones under it match the covering over them. These sheets show feathered angel wings with the bone structure and rows of feathers; leathery bat wings with the long finger bones; and butterfly, dragonfly and fairy wings with their veins. Each kind comes in clean contour, wing structure, and inked detail. Type a different wing, such as dragon wings, and the same kinds carry it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
