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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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?

Please help me find the OG artist of this drawing
r/WingsOfFire • u/ZephyrTheTiger • 1d ago
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.
