Red Wings

Red Wings are a popular image composition technique in anime, comics or manga for drawing character wings. The term red wings typically refers to a style in which a character's wings are shaded with a reddish tint around the edges, giving the wings an otherworldly, ethereal look. This aesthetic is often used to portray a character's greater power and/or as a sign of retribution. It is also sometimes used to symbolize a character having a connection to a higher power. Red wings are often depicted with a curved shape, with each feather subtly shifting in shape and color, adding a sense of motion and beauty to the character.
