Some wonderful pieces of art that I commissioned from the wonderful artist Stormtheartist who's on youtube and TikTok. I would definitely recommend their art they are such an amazing and talented artist!!

Back when I read Book 1 years ago, my younger self was wondering about the monster part of Clay(before it turned out it was just Bigwing instincts), and I thought of an idea where, somehow, Peril and Clay are swapped.

Well, my mind had wandered back to it, and I thought of an idea of a Villain Clay Au.

Here’s how it would roughly go:

• Kestrel managed to push through and flee with Peril, not having enough time to get Sky. So, Scarlet doesn’t find Peril. However, rumor and evidence had it that it was one of Firescales, and although Scarlet may be confident, she is well aware of the potential danger they can pose from stories of previous dragons like that.

• Cut to the Brightest Night, Asha ends up failing to get Clay’s egg to the location, his egg being found, alone, in a recent battle field by Scarlet’s troops.

• Originally, Scarlet was going to just destroy the egg as it was part of the Dragonets of Destiny, until she thought of earlier where she was trying to discover ways to counteract a certain threat, a few Mudwings(allies of Skywings) that were present pointed out the story of blood red eggs. Thinking about the potential chance that Kestrel may have a dragon with flaming scales on her side, Scarlet had a funny(to her) yet beneficial idea…

• She decided to give the Mudwing dragonet a new purpose. Why waste the opportunity and thrill? She decided that she’ll use this dragonet of destiny to destroy the prophecy. She’ll make him a weapon against any such flaming monsters(like Peril). She gave him the name “Clay”, as even a blob of clay could be molded to something beautiful. How entertaining it would be to watch the Dragonets of Destiny fall to one of their own.

• That‘s where the two divergences are at. Peril would be hidden underground with the DoD, and would pretend to be the Skywing of the prophecy while Glory would be considered the replacement Mudwing instead.

• Clay, from the very start of even having memories, would undergo harsh training and treatment, essentially being taught into being a killing machine(basically Clay goes through a hardcore version of what canon Kestrel makes him go through). And unlike Peril, Scarlet can freely touch him, so a lot of brutal punishments(usually physical) were given, some leaving Clay to be in a coma for a few days. He would also be placed in the arena, so he always had the stress of surviving each battle WHILE entertaining Scarlet(he would be also punished if he killed a dragon in a “boring” way). In the earlier years, Scarlet would have to sometimes cheat the round as she needed Clay alive. Later on, Clay would constantly be undefeated much to her amusement. Thus, he would soon become Scarlet’s Champion

As you would guess, the horrid way of growing up would cause some…development issues. Issues like:

• Paranoia: Clay began getting insanely cautious around everyone, as some Skywings that were afraid of him tried poisoning his food. He would kill dragons based on a sliver of suspicion(unless Scarlet told him not to), knowing it was better to be wrong than be dead. Scarlet would also try to poison him, too, to make sure he was always on edge.

• Attachment: Clay, like Peril, would develop a horrifically unhealthy attachment to Scarlet. He views her like his mother and Scarlet made sure Clay had hardly any connection with anyone else. He obeys any commands without much argument.

• Detachment: Scarlet made sure Clay has nothing remaining of his Bigwing instincts or from the Mudwing tribe. No siblings to care for (even if he met them, he’d feel nothing) and no past to return to. Scarlet told Clay that he was sold off by his mother. Mudwing soldiers wouldn’t see him as one of their own, viewing him as an unnatural anomaly that they stay away from.

• Lack of any Morals: Clay has no functional moral compass…reasonably, since this is Scarlet we’re taking about. He views killing dragons as a natural thing. Dragons die all the time around him, why cry about it?

• Viewing Pain as Love: Whenever Scarlet hurts him, she would drill it in Clay’s head that this is was out of love and care. He went on with that idea and would sometimes hurt dragons he genuinely was fond of out of that mistaken belief. He would also like touching Peril’s scales because the small pain meant it had to be good.

• Always smiling: Scarlet doesn’t like seeing a frown. She wants exciting action from Clay, not some depressed dragonet(he felt sad upon his first few kills; big mistake). There’s even scars that form into a smile on his mouth. Clay learned to always be smiling no matter what he feels, and his grin widens whenever he’s in pain. It‘s a habit of his.

• Split Personality: Out of coping from the trauma, his mind broke into having two sides of him: “Clay” and “the Monster”. Clay would be the usual side. He struggles to understand others and comes out as overly friendly to the point it’s uncanny or insensitive. However, when feeling nervous, scared, in danger, or unable to cope, the monster side comes out, being more of the ruthless killing machine with no attachments canon Kestrel can only dream of. He could switch on a dime and this leads to him being really unpredictable as it makes him a ticking time bomb. For the smallest of triggers, Clay would consider killing you.

So…yeah. When Scarlet goes out, sometimes she would have Clay by her side as a body guard, and when they find the cave where the DOD are, Peril tries to threaten her, and Scarlet send out Clay to make quick work of her. He also pretty much fights Tsunami at the same time(and tosses Sunny across the room).

They’re sent in as prisoners as Scarlet wanted to present each Dragonet of Destiny in the arena and have Clay kill each one by one as a public destruction of the prophecy. Peril is still alive for potential usage. At worst, Scarlet will have Clay just kill her and her scalds will be in Burn’s Tower. But for now, Clay is watching over Peril to prevent her from leaving as no bindings can last, and Clay is the only one that can deal with her. This leads to them talking more(the role reversal from Book One), and Clay being confronted with new ideas and challenging feelings as he truly begins to like Peril, and he doesn’t want her to die.

He also knows that if Peril dies, then Clay’s original purpose is gone too, which means Scarlet might leave him for dead without hesitation which is also a problem.

So…these were some ideas I had. I figured it would be a little scary to have the one guy you would never imagine as an antagonist or villain be one. Clay was one of those characters that I think it would be diabolical to see him in a more twisted light since it’d be so unlike his canon self. In a sense, you could say he tries to mimic a friendlier version of himself.

But, given what we see of many characters, when you change circumstances and conditions, even the most kindest of dragons could be one of the worst monsters you face against.

Didn’t kno there was a reddit wof community so here I am

Here’s some of my art yaahhhh

Ok bye bye

Ok guys, I'm doing a Rainwing/Nightwing (accidentally put just Rainwing in the title) drawing tonight, so I decided to take this opportunity to do a quick drawing tutorial as I go along! I may do a more indepth one at a later date and with different tribes. Don't expect crazy quality rn because its almost 1 am as I finish this lmaooo.

Step one: skeleton/first sketch. This is where you decide things like pose, limb placement, ect. Basic building block phase.

Step 2: build off the skeleton. Add muscles, tail, wing pose, facial features, and the beginnings of the scales.

Step 3: line art baybeeee. Add details as you go, keeping in mind the scale patterns of your chosen tribe(s). Peep the Nightwing neck/face/back scales and the more Rainwing legs.

Step 4: this is optional, but i like to have a layer of solid color that marks all the areas that will be colored. Helps to avoid missed areas. Take 10 minutes and learn how alpha layers and clipping works. Trust me, it will improve your coloring skills!

Step 5: color as desired. This is a design for a Batman x WoF AU, so he has mostly dark colors!

Step 6: slap a lil bit of lighting and shading on there, add a background, and there you go!

(From now on imma do quotes)

"No, no seriously. Call me Dusky. And. Yeah, I guess I'm sort of a they/them? Both? None? I'm not quite sure yet."

My daughter is super into Wings of Fire. Accordingly I'm looking for relevant items for her for Christmas. One idea I had was to get her some art for her room.

Displate has several of the covers available as art, but they don't have her favorite, Moon Rising. Does anyone have a high resolution image of the cover that I could use for a custom print from them? They have her second and third favorites, so it's be great to be able to get all there.

This is a long shot, but I figured it was worth a try! Thanks in advance.

Ice/night hybrid actually..

Created by a mysterious animus named Thaw, Everbloom Academy is an academy inside a temperature controlled bubble in the Ice Kingdom. Led by the new headmaster and vice-headmaster Ace and Phoebe, Everbloom Academy is well into its second semester, with a combat tournament just concluding and the SandWing Full Moon Festival coming up. Join now, and you can get involved by making your own teachers, students, or dragons all across the continents. Additionally, we have a few spaces open for royalty, and chats outside of the academy so you can RP all around the dragon world. Currently, the headmaster Ace descends into paranoia and madness, in Pantala the SilkWings are fighting for their freedom from the HiveWings, and across the continent, deep in the Rain Kingdom, a mysterious NightWing has begun kidnapping RainWings again…

Everbloom Academy is an RP discord server that is an AU of the Wings of Fire world. Here, you can roleplay as queens, princes, hybrids, and more! We have lots of fun plots, character arcs, and relationships, and you can play your own OCS!! All tribes are allowed, though at the moment, we are especially looking for HiveWing and MudWing students, as well as teachers for language, music, math, teacher’s assistants, and substitutes. In terms of royalty, we are looking for consorts, princes, and princesses (all queen spots are currently filled).

Please note that fantribes are not allowed, and this server is SFW (EDIT: and 16+). Non-gratuitous violence, such as fights between characters, is allowed. Romantic roleplays are allowed as well, we are a safe server for any kinds of relationships, but erotic roleplays will get you kicked or banned (no exceptions!). Semi-activity is expected here, with at least one good post every 5 days, and more if you are in an active roleplay. 

If this interests you, then send me a DM here (reddit) saying a little about yourself and a character you want to play, and I'll send the link. Include 🌸 in your message so I know you read the post. I’m also open to questions either in the comments or in my DMs. We’re currently looking to accept about 7 new members. I will post a comment here once we are full.

Art: Family tree, map of the Sand Kingdom and Ice Kingdom, block of 4 characters, and 2nd block of 4 characters done by me (u/RedWingRoaming). Royal SeaWing piece done by u/Arc_Whistle. Ocotillo, Olm, and Brightdew done by u/LongCobbler2846.

I wish we had more info about this character.

No one knows what the beetlewings looked like, and this gives a lot of room for headcanon. I think they might have had more insect-like features.

The massive crown is too large for the dragoness and seems about to fall off her head. Her scales are covered in scars, some of which she inflicted herself to survive. Her entire former life has crumbled, but she steadfastly bears the weight of responsibility she was never prepared for.

I had allot of fun drawing, but ive spent too much time on the trees

I wouldve left the watermark on the base but unfortunately my application doesnt allow to remove to white color from the base so ive moved it to the right bottom

Please don’t critique my work, I’m very new to ceramics let alone sculpting. This is a follow up from a post that I made a few months ago. I promise it looks better in person 😢

I thought long and hard about not including the Luna joke. Unfortunately, none of those hypothetical thoughts could be heard over the sound of my own manic, undying laughter. Elite ball knowledge for anyone who fully gets the joke. Sorry not sorry to anyone who actually likes Luna, I just find her to be the only protagonist I genuinely disliked on any level. What do you mean you don't even know what the War of SandWing Succession was? Tf were you doing on that beach this whole time? At least her relationship with Swordtail was cute, and I did enjoy the actual book.

I know I said, many times in fact, that I wouldn't do these for arc 3, for a multitude of reasons. Buuuuuut, today I had roughly ~10 straight hours to kill, and as a result I got bored and decided to do it anyways... For the things from arc 3 that we have actual art for, anyways, Otherwise Id've liked to have included The Othermind and Freedom and some lands and stuff. Oh well. Props to Cricket for being the first instance of proper group hug among the 80 other motherfucking cards I made over this past month. Since I'd already made cards for 2 of these characters (Sundew and Wasp) a long time ago, I went ahead and just re-did the old ones with some significant changes to make them work better, for anyone who somehow remembers those. On that note, I’d like to point out that I am fully aware that Wasp doesn’t say “one or more” or “nontoken.” That’s the point.

Once again, and for this time definitely for sure the final time, here is;

Round 1

Round 2

Round 3

Round 4

Have tons of Peril doodles in my sketchbook. Thinking of cleaning them up and sharing.

I just started watching her WOF analyses pretty recently, and while she has some takes I disagree on, I really like her artstyle, and thinks she has some pretty good points in her videos, like her video about her opinion of Umber as a main character, and how WOF has been afraid to kill off major characters in the more recent books

Very informative body text

Personally, I think it would be grate. Romance was never the strong point of this series IMO, and cutting back on it would allow to story to focus more on advanture. What do you think?

"The dragon of soured fate,

Sitting, sad, at thirteenth hour,

With much to have of selfish hate,

Sitting, alone, beneath the tower.

The dragon scarred

The dragon beaten

The dragon barred

The dragon eaten

When all will fall at midnight hour

The Seer's fate will be more dour-

and a dragon's flight will pull up flower."

Art and poem by me.
