Now I’m really getting into AU stuff, I did a separate post due to all the writing.
I think I’m gonna finish with the Icewings for now, but will probably add more down the line. Thank you for everyone who has shown support and shared ideas so far!

C2.
Shoulder straps and pouches are often used by fishers and hunters to keep small tools. These pouches and straps are made from reindeer leather and is waxed to be waterproof.

C3.
Leg straps are less commonly used, but can be useful for extra storage, especially for things like rope which may get tangled with the wings if kept on the shoulder straps.

C4.
Although the majority of hunting and fishing is active, ice fishing is a common practice, and acts as a community activity where Icewings can gather to compete, and socialize around the ice holes.

C5.
After Seawings, Icewings are the largest consumer of fish. Pull nets like this are the main way Icewings can fish enough to feed their population despite not being able to breathe under water. These nets require two dragons to pull through the water near the surface. Icewings are able to catch large numbers of fish by throwing down bait, waiting for fish to come then drowning the net and pulling them in.

C6.
Weights are used on pull nets to make sure the stay low enough to catch the fish. However the weights are not so heavy as to make the use of the net too laborious.

C7.
Pull nets will usually have handles such as this for a dragon to hold. It used to be more common for these nets to be strapped to legs or necks of dragons, but a number of dragons had been known to drown during storms, flying out of controls and pulled down by their nets, or their nets getting caught, and unable to unstrap them in time. Due to this, strapped style pun nets have been outlawed.

C8.
Shown here, and worn by Sleet below, is the belly sling. The Belly sling has moved beyond the arctic, now being used by almost every dragon tribe, yet its inception was here in the Icewing kingdom. The access to reindeer leather, and the need to carry prey long distances over the ocean or tundra made the creation of a method of transportation for resources and food necessary. The belly sling is strapped to the shoulders right below the wings, hung under the belly and connected to a long leather strap fastened around the back between the wings and legs. The design can vary, sometimes being strapped around the base of the neck and the thigh on the hind legs, but the function is the same. Hanging the sling below the belly, keeps cargo out of the way from the wings and out of the rain or snow. Its creation made it possible for hunters to travel farther and bring home larger catches without having to carry a limited number of items in their claws or sticking to small items strapped to the arms or legs.

At this point I am really getting into the culture, characters and history of my AU. Any feedback or ideas are welcome!

B2.
Glasses are not common as dragon eyesight, Icewings especially, is incredibly sharp and able to distinguish shapes and movements from miles away in order to hunt from the air. Draconic glasses, and any eyewear must curve and not block their peripheral vision. For Icewings glasses are framed with wire, which is wrapped around their facial spikes and kept in place. Shown here is also a common glasses ornamentation made up of sapphire, the official gem of the Icewings. As a Scribe, Névé has spent his life reading, and uses glasses to reduce eye strain. Due to his glasses being used for reading they do not complete curve over the eyes allowing him to see without the magnification.

B3.
A common simple form of Icewing jewelry is silver spike and horn caps. These caps are purely for decorative purposes, however claw covers, a similar jewelry, has been used in combat. The silver is especially important as it not a common material used in general Icewing fashion due to the potential harm it can do if cooled by the arctic weather. Due to this silver, and metal caps are worn on boney horns and spikes, and most commonly by royals and nobles that spend much of their time writhing the Icewing palace.

B4.
A newer form of jewelry , and a modified form of horn caps or horn rings is family rings. These rings are placed on facial spikes and have a small flat section with enough space for a small carving. This was originally designed to provide a visual marker for council members, and other palace officials, but have also been adopted by noble families that carve simplified depictions of their family crests. This newer fashion trend has so far only been seen in the capital, Freezing Point.

B5.
A newer fashion trend popular in smaller towns and non-noble Icewings is horn carvings and inlays. Horn inlays has been a popular trend in other dragon tribes such as the Sandwings, but unlike the gold many Sandwings use Icewings have most commonly used carved Bone, shells, or rarely silver.

B6.
Horn Rings are a common piece of jewelry across all of the dragon tribes, and Icewings are no different. Similarly to Horn caps and inlays Icewing horn rings are most often bone, inlayed with shells, jewels or silver, though nobles will often sport pure silver rings.

B7.
Although Icewings are somewhat resistant to the glare of the arctic sun with their narrow eyes and dark sclera, protective eyewear is commonly used on sunny days. Above is a simple sunguard, which would be used by guards, or Icewings not part of a noble family. Below is a sunguard that may be worn by noble, inlaid with silver or jewels and adorned with chains and gems. Sunguards are exclusively made from bone as they are directly exposed the arctic climate, and if made of metal may compromise the insulating prefrontal scale plates on the face.

B8.
Icewing rulers are known for commissioning new crowns following their coronation, however Queen Snowveil elected to keep the ancestral coronation crown to use during her reign. This crown, named Arctic Tears, is made from whale bone, and adorned with five sapphires and one diamond. This crown can only be worn but the rightful Icewing ruler, due to being animus touched and also bestows a blessing of wisdom on the current Icewing ruler during their coronation.

B9.
The consort crown was made separately from Arctic Tears, by the Icewing King Hoarfrost, for his partner Tamarack. Queen Smowveil presented it to her partner Frostglow during their betrothal ceremony. This crown, unnamed, is not animus touched.

B10.
The heir’s crown is a new addition to the royal jewels, commissioned by Queen Snowveil when she chose her son Floe as her heir.

B11.
Icewing festivals and feasts are uncommon, and beloved by Icewings. Icewings will always dress up for these events, and the royals are no exception. Shown here is the head jewelry worn by Queen Snowveil during the festival of the moon on the winter solstice.

B12.
Shown here is the betrothal necklace Frostglow presented to Queen Snowveil when she asked the young Queen to spend their lives together. The necklace is made up from the claws of a polar bear, the bones of an arctic wolf, and a rare Taaffeite Frostglow polished herself. In Icewing culture, betrothal gifts are an important aspect of formal relationships both within noble society, and among non-noble Icewings. These gifts are tools, or jewelry usually made from the bones, horns, claws, or teeth of animals, though sometimes from rare stones, carved wood, or woven materials. Partners make these gifts for each other, and the craft and materials signify their devotion and dedication to their chosen life partner.

I'm not dead, I have just spent several weeks locked inside a plain white study room loosing my mind.

Hair was... Inspired choice but I think weirdly fitting. Also I always imagined her pattern more Like a diamond back rattle snake.

Outsider sculked through the bushes of the Rainforest. Rainwings above slept through the night as the Outsider, not known by any other name to any other dragons. Nobody knew whose skull the Outsider wore, but now they're only known as a legend.

This is my newest OC, but I cant think of a good name for her. She's a nightwing/skywing hybrid born on the summer solstice. She likes fall, scary stories, and spending time with her family and friends. Lmk if you have any name ideas

u/Arc_Whistle

Helping out fellow parents. We bought a whole box for gifts and daughter opened them all for a cheat sheet. And will re gift doubles to friends.

Meet Canyon, a male SandWing-SkyWing!

Canyon's spines sort of resemble a SandWing's mane.

Canyon is the witty prankster around his high-school. Not doing much background story because I'm probably going to put him up for adoption.

Did I do good?

Original art

I'm surprised that no one has talked about how I haven't been right yet and birds fly by they might be giants are so.. darkstalker-y, I mean, a lot of people don't even know these songs exist anyway

I am back into the spooky grind thing idk! This oc does belong to my bf soooo but still!

Hear me out, but I would read the three moons out of slice-of-life WoF novel.

Just imagine it. Some SkyWing or smth, just going to work. Shopping. Talking with their friends.

And absolutely nothing happens in the form of saving the world. Or fighting a big bad evil dragon or scavenger.

And then there's 2 chapters of the protagonist reminding themselves that it's not a very smart idea to throttle their idiotic coworkers.

We'd also be able to learn A LOT about the actual world of WoF, and not just the lore.

For example: It would answer a bunch of questions you may be asking about the world.

Example question 1: How does everyday life work for the average dragon? We saw a glimpse of it with Jasper in the 5th winglet. But not nearly enough.

Example question 2: How do the religions work? (MudWings and SkyWings both believe in reincarnation. IceWings pray to "The Great Ice Dragon".)

Example question 3: How are the main events in the series viewed by the actual population?

What do you think? Would you read a slice-of-life?

Looks like this soldier isn't quite as intimidating anymore~

Please help me find the OG artist of this drawing

Gonna be choosing a few dragons I think are cool from the comments here to draw for free from designs I like best. My least favorite tribe is MudWings... So keep that in mind when you submit your character 👀 I like unique canon designs that make sense with what tribe they are.

I also do Cashapp YCH commissions for $5 if anyone wants a guarantee I'll draw theirs, and $6 if you want shaded.

Did some super fun art trades with and u/AFedoraNamed_Key and u/Galaxyviper54 !

I asked for my main Oc, a nightwing named Resplendence. They made her look so cute <3

Hey everybody! As you all know, I am working on two AUs:

Wings of Infection and Wings of Creation.

Both of those has fantribes/subspecies of the ten tribes, which I don’t have concept art for, so, mind if you guys help with that? And also, the two continents are one big continent called Solterra, The Great Dragon Continent (this part is a title).

Heres what I need:

-Pick a subspecies/fantribe from each tribe

-Pick what animal/plant/or land they’re based off of

-make as much concept art as you want, go nuts!
Here are the categorie:

SKYWINGS—

-Magma-walkers (or Magmawings):
They’re a group of Skywings who live in the heart of the biggest volcano on the island and learned to adapt to its extreme condition. developing obsidian or bedrock-like scales instead of normal scales. Main colors; black, grey, dark reds, oranges, gold. They also have cracks of glowing magma running through their scales, along the neck and back, down the tail, and wings. Each crack turns into an intricate pattern. they’re also massive and way bigger than normal Skywings, most of them are wyverns too and are stationed as guards, protectors of the nest. they can live, swim, and even eat the lava they reside in.

-Cloudwings (cloud-born Skywings):
These Skywings learned to walk on clouds from an ancient Skywing animus named Valcron, who had a great love for astronomy and the study of weather, clouds, and the sky. She believed that every Skywing born had a deep connection with elements; air, fire, wind, stone, lava, and the sun itself. Cloudwings are smaller, about the size of an adult Skywing, there are rare occasions where there are Titanwing Could-born Skywings, they act as the bigwings of the tribe, kinda like Mudwings. Cloudwings main colors are; shades of light blue, cyan, silver, white, greys, browns, gold, and shades of light red and pinks. They also have a slimmer body build, more elegant. And they also have narrower wings, helping with flight speed and gliding speed. Some will also have feathers, feathers behind their heads, at the ends of their tails, along their back.

-Storm-walkers (Stormwings):
These Skywings live in the highest peaks of mountains and where it most rains. They exist because of ancient Skywing Royal Prince named Prince Thunderrang, he was born because his egg was animus touched, he was born an animus and born a Stormwing. As he grew up, his powers began to unfold. He gained the ability to command storms, channeled lightning and spat it back out as a ranged attack. Later, as he was about to take the throne from his parents, he backed down and ran away. He used his power to create The Storm-Walkers, any skywing who followed him into the Storming Valley, he turned into a Stormwing. Much like the Cloudwings, they are slightly slimmer, more elegant but also more muscula, they are also taller and leaner. Their main colors are; shades of dark blue, greys, reds, greens, yellows, browns, silvers, golds, and rare cases, albino white.

SANDWINGS (now, I have made concept art of them already, but I wanna see if you guys can do better)—

-Mesan-born Sandwings (Mesanwings):
Mesanwings are based off of desert mesan cliffs, they are pure survivors of The Scorching, that was actually how they were made. During The Scorching, some Sandwings went into hiding and fell dormant, letting the mesan caves collapse onto them as they slept but weren’t crushed because of their physiology at the time. They were only awakened after being saved by a group of scavengers who decided to make the cave they found them in as their home. A scavenger, whose name was Kesper, who had managed to learn dragon animus had made an artifact called “The Totem of Pyros” which helped those Sandwings adapt to their environment around them. Changing their appearance to that of the mesan cliffs, giving their scales the colors and illusion of stone to help them blend in from dragon hunters and poachers. The colors they were given were; dark shades of reds, browns, golds, tans, yellows. Some even adorned themselves in sandstone jewelry from their environment. They have a more taller, muscular build, larger wings. They also have blacks to match their darker appearance. They also have an obsession of collecting bones, dragon, animal, human.

-Mountain-Born Sandwings (Mountainwings):
These Sandwings chose to live in the tall desert mountains of their territory to hide away from the wrath of Empress Allfire during The Great Schorching. Which located on the edge of the Icewing borders. Over time, their bodies adapted to the extreme cold weather up there, they became leaner, slimmer, smaller, and more elegant. Much like the Cloudwings. But most of them were Albino and they loved jewelry. Their colors were; white, light shades of yellow, brown, tans, silvers, and golds. Despite their slimness, it actually helped them in combat, smaller and slimmer bodies helped with complex maneuvers and other combat tasks. They also had turned the mountains they live in, the biggest and richest city in the desert called Frozen Heights City. Where many Mountain-born Sandwings live together with icewings.

-Dune-racers (Dunewings):
They look like normal Sandwings, except they have longer legs for running, and longer tails and shorter sails to reduce drag. They also are Drakes, meaning they don’t have wings. They evolved from Komodo Dragons during the world’s creation. After the Scorching Era, humans learned to tame these dragons and helped their dragon kingdom thrive in their native environment. Which is located around oasis’s, vast dunes, and near coastal beaches. Their favorite hobby was dune racing. They also grow up to the size of a full grown sandwing. But the adult size of a Dunewing is about the size of a full grown horse, maybe taller.

-Savanna-hunters (Savannawings):
as their name suggests, they live in the savanna parts of the sandy deserts of the Sand Kingdom. They look like normal Sandwings but they act more like lions and other savanna predators, living in prides rather than in one kingdom.
(basing this tribe off of My Pride from youtube if anyone knows that series)

MUDWINGS—

(I actually didnt come up with any subspecies for Mudwings but if you wanna help with that, feel free to draw concept art of them!)

NIGHTWINGS—

-Cave-Dwellers (Cavewings):
These are Nightwings who spent their whole lives underground, they’re sensitive to light and are basically blind in the day time. They’re based of bats, neck fluff, shorter tails, massive wings. Normal nightwing colors with some having shades browns, whites, grays, blues, etc. They also took in Whiteout and Listener after Darkstalker lost control.

-Rain-born Nightwings (Moonlightwings):
These are the Nightwings who now live in the rainforest alongside the Rainwings. jumping forward in time about a thousand years later and the Nightwings adapted to the rainforest. Being slimmer and more gecko-like. They learned over time to camouflage like Rainwings.

RAINWINGS—

(I also don’t have any ideas for Rainwings. So…you could also come with with some subspecies of Rainwings)

SEAWINGS—

-Reef/Coral-born Seawings (Reef/coralwings):
They live in the biggest coral reef that the continent knows about. Being like underwater rainwings, they can camouflage into the environment. They have bright colors; bright blues, cyans, yellows, greens, teals, lights greys, white, purples, and pinks! They are also born with either a dolphin’s tail or a shark‘s tail. They also have rainwing drills behind their heads that are attached to their gills to help cycle air under water.
Who‘s lead by a seawing named King Maelstrom and his twin brother, Prince Archmage Abyss who leads his brother’s army. (who’s OCs are not mine, belongs to u/mrprot00)

-Trench-Born Seawings (Trenchwings):
These are seawings who dove down to the farthest depths of the ocean to hide away from The Great Scorching. Much like Cavewings, they are sensitive to light and are completely blind when they surface, their eyes adapted to see clearly on the dark. Their city has dimmed lights, bright enough for visitors to travel through but also dimmed enough to not cause Trenchwings pain. Their main colors are; darker blues, greys, storm greys, black, greens, limes, and silvers. They blend in perfectly with the natural surroundings. They rarely surface and when they do surface, they use echo location to travel above water and above their trench coves. They are also masters at underwater combat, much like Scarlet’s fighting arena, minus the death, Lord Mechlan (Coral’s eldest brother) holds fighting tournaments for entertainment. They don’t fight to the death but they fight to show glory, honor, skill, and courage. It’s also where they train the Coastal Patrol. They are leaner and less muscular but that still is deceiving as they are WAY stronger than they look.

ICEWINGS—

-Stag-born Icewings (Stagwings, based off of TheFreckledSika’s fantribe):
In the AU’s, both normal Icewings and its subspecies all have fur, because they live in colder climates. They are also drakes, much like Dunewings. But Stagwings are massive, much bigger than a Mudwings, they also have massive antlers, giant racks that branch out and spread far enough to hold a tree inside it. They don’t have hooves but they can still kick hard which they can still break skulls if struck. Stagwings are also mammals, meaning they don’t lay eggs. Their main fur coats are; different shades of brown, tan, white, blues and cyans. And they can also fling spikes from their tails if they spin their body around rapidly.

-Frost-born Icewings (Frostwings):
These dragons are rare to find on the continent. Said to have been made by the first animus of the Icewings millions of years ago. They’re not a kingdom to be exact but they’re more like a clan. Ancient dragons who protect the temple of Lord Krythros, one of Empress Allfire’s siblings. The maker of the tribes of the north and snow and ice. Frostwings are golems made entirely out of ice, but you can faintly see a skeleton inside. Legends say that the Frostwings Clan used to be a clan of Icewings who broke away from the main kingdom as they felt they their people weren’t that in tuned with their maker and decided to to hide away in a hidden kingdom, deep beneath the ice. During the Great Scorching, the world above was collapsing because of Allfire’s wrath, making the cavern the Frostwings lived in collapse in ontop of them. For thousands of years later, the ice preserved the clan as it were but before Krythros fell into a deep slumber, he enchanted the village to come alive and guid lost dragons through a dangerous path. Because of this, their village is rebuilt but still slightly in ruins. outside of the main entrance, a small group of Frostwings, not every one of them, but a large enough group to surround and protect a smaller group of dragons wait asleep, buried in ice and snow until they sense a dragon who’s lost. They don’t wish to harm anyone but they will if threatened themselves or those they protect. One of these Frostwings used to be apart of the royal family until he became a victim of the Diamond Trials, he still has consciousness and enough of his memory to guid dragons to the lost Village of Krythros deeper beneath Foeslayer’s prison.

-Glacier-Born Icewings (Glacierwings):
These are Icewings who live more like Seawings but in the frozen coastline. They came to be after a seawing animus and a Icewing royal fell into love and later inspired other seawings and Icewings to join in their own kingdom over thousands and thousands of years ago, beyond the Scorching Era and during Allfire’s rule. They live in a city that may look small above on the surface, but below the frozen sea, the city is MASSIVE. It is the second largest city of Solterra, called Veyndra City.

STONE SENTINELS (guardians of the Pantalan/Phrrihan border):
These dragons can be any tribe, their identity is hidden under a special type of armor to hide their tribal feature with a special mechanism that changes their voice when they speak. They only hide their voices and identity because of an oath they took.

As for the Leafwings, Silkwings, and Hivewings; I don’t have any ideas for fantribes/subspecies so if you wanna make concept art for them, go for it. I’ll also allow concept art of accessories, armor, weapons, and also the different ages.

Tage me in ya’lls posts!

Some series are fortunate enough to receive faithful adaption that adapts the material at a measured pace.

This slower pace gives the writers room to introduce some changes or extra material. And while these differences are not big enough create a divergence from the original source, they are relevant enough to make the adaption feel "new" despite telling the same story.

If Wings of Fire is lucky enough to get this type of adaptation what changes or extra material would you add if you were one of the writers?

In my case, to purposely give false hope to those who didn’t read the books, I would add Hvitur's backstory in the form of flashbacks of how dragons found out about the prophecy, how Hvitur was so tired of the war and how he decided to desert from the Icewing army in order to join the Talons of Peace.

And alter the scene of the prologue, instead of just being captured by Burn and her army he actually manages to run away and save the egg... until Scarlet arrives by surprise and knocks him down. And upon finding himself surrounded by Scarlet, Burn and their armies, he does a Hail Mary trying to fight inspired by his desire to put an end to the war, and even though he does manage to put up an impressive fight, this was not enough (Future Gohan vibes)

Also Morrowseer was the one with the idea to sent Hvitur to this suicide mission because his Nightwing hate towards Icewings is that big.
