I dont believe tumblr only decided to show me your page today.. that is CRIMINAL you have an extremely expressive style and you’re super talented!!

I hope you have a wonderful day/night too 🔥

This is my gooble Singetail

@andiirandii’s Singetail! I really liked his patterned red wings, so I wanted to put them on full display. I did take some liberties and added extra swirls to fill out the wing, because the angle I chose made them look a little empty. Also on display: my attempt at drawing talons/hands. Thank you again for the extra head refs you provided me :D

[ID: Two wings of fire SandWing dragons on a dark red eery background. They are Jerboa 1 and Jerboa 3. There is a small one seated on the ground gripping a scroll, looking upwards her face gripped with fear. Her ears are pointed down and here eyes widened. The second is a much larger, but similar looking dragon emerging from the background behind her, with her scorpion like tail curled up behind her. She grins wickedly, with golden magic dripping from her mouth and wrapping itself around the smaller dragon's throat. Both dragons are draped in red shadows and light. /ID]

Back at it! This is the scene that made me cry. When Jerboa 3 finds out about all the times her mother 'reset' her. Jerboa 3 is such a perfectly tragic character. I love her your honor. She totally dated Glacier too. And now thinks of Snowfall as a psuedo daughter. And hangs out with Blaze because they both loved Glacier. I pushed the lighting pretty hard with this one. The drawing itself is OLD AF because I did it months ago.

CHIRALITY 2024 REF !!

Yes 2024. I made it last year and. Forogr to upload…

MEET CHIRALITY !!

Chirality is, put simply, an AllWing. Or would you call it tribeless? Regardless, she has the blood of every tribe in her veins. The blood is so diluted at this point that the only thing she can do is fly- she doesn’t have firebreath or frostbreath, she’s not moonborn, she can’t grow plants or sting anything. She’s painfully average.

Extremely bitter about being so regular and powerless, Chirality finds an animus-enchanted earring that allows her to shift her appearance to be that of a tribe of her choice- similar to Chameleon. She never goes without this earring and refuses to present herself in her typical tribeless appearance. In each form, she’s come up with a personality and backstory for herself.

She’s extremely jumpy and aggressive when it’s unnecessary. She’s defensive of how she conducts herself, and always feels like she’s lesser-than. This feeling of insecurity manifests in an almost bullying nature that, if she’s not careful, can bleed through into her appearances.

-future reblogs will contain alternate forms !!-

Dichotomy of Burn and Sunny

Welcome to another installment of my hopeless addiction to rewriting Burn!

So now I came to wonder a bit about, what is the great conflict in book 5? What are Burn’s reasoning? And why Sunny opposes them?

Of course, the reasons are quite simple. Burn’s “urrr durrrrrrrr mah war! Me murder you!” against Sunny’s “b-but mah prophecy, fake or not, peace!”

But that imo is simply too weak, too shallow. And while sure, Burn could be an intimidating presence while being a shallow character, I think Scarlet had filled that role most perfectly (reason why I am not obsessed with rewriting her), her presence at book 1 was great, so what does that leave Burn with, a second shallow villain? Its not that uncommon to wof, unfortunately.

So in resume of my long AUs, Burn’s intent was not to murder Sunny or the DoD, but hold them captives, have them chose her, by force and fear, or by pragmatism, then free them to whatever fate they wish.

While persecuting them through this theoretical arc 1, at book 5, Burn and Sunny are going to meet after her capture by Addax, and they gonna have their conflict. Even after Burn’s victory over her sisters, both of them will continue to clash for the times to come, through their main ideological differences, which is...

“Burn vs. Sunny: How do we achieve peace?”

Both their reasoning are simple.

Sunny believes peace can only be achieved through tolerance and understanding, she, a young and idealistic mind, believes that showing all the tribes that they are not so different after all is fundamental to ending wars, that once everyone believes they have equal rights to resources, the main geopolitical tensions of Pyrrhia shall cease to exist. She intends to begin her project through the opening of the Jade Academy and the invitation for all queens to lower their guard and send in dragonets to learn there.

Burn, older and more pragmatic, believes that peace can only be achieved by force. She understands that dragons may never tolerate each other, and she certainly isn’t going to be the one trying to make it happen. She knows that through Pyrrhian history, peace was only achieved through an overwhelming display of strength, one she is particularly skilled at. Through her alliance with Queens Moorhen and Ruby, she intends to establish a new order that will guarantee peace for the time to come, by the ever threatening chance of violence to escalate.

Both their reasoning, however, have an obvious main flaw.

Sunny’s idealism blinds her sight of reality. The impulsive and emotional dragonet believes they can do it, through calm and empathy to make the dragonets to finally come to a peaceful and enlightening understanding of each other.

But reality is quite often a most disappointing thing. Even the dragonets she brought to the academy were scarred by the war, which the most shocking case being of Sora and Icicle. Both were split from each other after the initial conflicts, but Sora kept obsessed with murdering the IceWing princess, as revenge for the death of her sister Crane.

Their conflict escalated when Sora detonated a dragonflame cactus at the history cave, wounding several students, proceeding to flee with Umber in its aftermath, with Clay being the most affected by the actions of his sister, even after trying everything he could to deescalate the situation.

For Sunny, her lack of strength or willingness to enforce the peaceful coexistence she sought seemed to collapse the faith in her project, with the queens withdrawing their students and the academy’s funding ceasing immediately in the explosion’s aftermath. However, she would find an unlikely ally, Burn.

Burn’s ideal was far from perfect, her mentality of strength to enforce peace could only go so far, as queens could come in all shapes, sizes and mentalities, what would come after she died? Would her heir be as strong as her? As willing to enforce peace as her?

Burn merely suppressed the anger and resentment that always existed through the tribes, and her death would be the very catalyst for it to cause a chain reaction that would inevitably lead to more wars. She just delayed it.

While she had stamped out all dissidents through her queendom, the first cracks on her new order would come to be not even 6 months after her victory, in the aftermath of her victory parade, the SkyWing generals tried a coup against Queen Ruby, which soon evolved into a civil war within her ally’s borders. War had fed itself, once again.

Unknown to Burn, however, was that her grip over her lands was not as tight as she thought, with Vulture’s underground empire thriving and planning to overthrow her, by any means necessary, which came to be as several terrorist bombings happened through the queendom, in an assassination attempt to all remaining royals of her family, be Blaze, Scald, Singe or Smolder.

His access to dragonflame cactus was unknown, but presumably, Vulture had his dealings and contacts within the Sky Queendom, and managed to sneak out several explosives from the SkyWing generals that opposed any sort of alliance with Burn.

Diplomatic failures, anger and resentment across her allies ran rampant and Burn’s even stronger iron grip over the issues had led to no solution but more uprisings against her.

Conclusion of their Conflict:

While Burn and Sunny clashed through arc 1 and arc 2, the solution for both of their problems was the merge of theirs.

While peace must be enforced through Burn's strength, the only guarantee it would last was through Sunny's empathy, guiding the younger generations into a difficult path, but brighter future.

After Sunny and Burn met in 5013 AS, through a letter sent by Starflight about the Jade Academy's guide project, Burn offered her assistance through barter of materials for the academy, allowing it to survive another year and by 5014 AS, Sunny, through her hard work and unbreakable spirit, had restored Pyrrhia's faith in the academy and more and more dragonets are moving in and the expansion of the institution is on the way.

While Burn never believed in the Jade Academy's project, she was always impressed by Sunny's determination. What she didn't have in size, she more than made up by her hard work, teaching, administrating, advising and working on diplomacy through the queendoms, a job comparable only to a queen.

What she lacked in faith on Sunny, she made up by her eternal debt she held to the dragonet, after her past actions persecuting, intending to hold them captive for the time being, she supported Sunny's project, even when Pyrrhia's faith on it had hit rock bottom, even when the queens withdraw their students, Burn knew all Sunny needed was one dragon to support her, she would take care of the rest.

Last Tribe A Day run cycle was today so I decided to combine them all to show the differences!

ID under the cut

[ID: Seven sketchy animated run cycles, all of the original dragon tribes from Wings of Fire. They alternate sides as they go down, starting with the top one on the left and the second on the right, and so on. The background is a blank white. Each dragon has shaded limbs to help see the differences while in movement. The right wing is the darkest shade, followed by the left wing (closest to the screen), the the right legs are the lightest shaded. Descriptions are in order from top to bottom:

Mudwing: Drawn in a dark red. The thickest dragon by far, opening is mouth in a smile as its front legs hit the ground. Its large wings have four toes as if they were a third set of talons, which is used as another set of legs while running. The wings lift off after the back legs. The entire body bobs with its weight while it runs, lunging with its back legs. One of its back legs disappears while it runs (oopsies) and its large tail flicks with the run.

Skywing: Drawn in a darker red. Much skinnier dragon with longer limbs and larger wings. Its large wings remain slight open above its border, slightly bobbing as it moves. The body itself doesn’t move up and down, instead just twisting with movement of its limbs. Its tail is a little stiff, again just moving up and down. As it runs, one foot touches and leaves the ground at a time.

Icewing: Drawn in a dark blue. Its body and shape is ridgid, its head swooping up and down like it lunges with every time its front talons land. Again, its wings are used as a third pair of legs, however they are mostly used after the other limbs are mid-air. Its talons are visibly sharper, as well as its wings. Sharp spines on the back of its neck and end of its tail are visible as well, which bobs with the movement.

Seawing: Drawn in a dark blue. A thicker, long dragon with short but thick limbs and webbed frills along its spine and sternum. It’s thick tail continues the up and down curve it’s body makes with every move, flicking the end of the frills as it does. Its wings are semi open above its body, bobbing with the running movement and tilting up and down as its spine curves.

Sandwing: Drawn in a warm brown. Long limbs but thicker than skywing. All four feet lift of the air when they’re closest during the run, each foot hitting the ground one at a time. It’s barbed scorpion-like tail bobs up and down at the end. Its wings are folded and stuff near its shoulders, tilted diagonally. A solid frill lines its spine, biggest at the back of its neck and above the back legs.

Nightwing: Drawn in a dark purple grey, and by far the stiffest run cycle. Thick body with short but thinner legs than mudwings or seawings. Spikes line the spine all along its body, longest at the back of the neck and back of the body. Its wings are held stiffly and slightly folded over its body. Other than the legs and tail, most of the nightwing barely moves as it runs, and its legs hit the ground in pairs, front legs then back legs. They don’t even cross between each other at the closest part in the run. Its mouth opens and closes as it runs, not in any particular expression, I was just bored.

Rainwing: Drawn in a muted dark green. By far the bounciest run. It has a thin body and a head I accidentally drew a little big. It’s three-toed wings are used as a third pair of legs, used most right before it’s front legs hit the ground. Its front legs hit the ground at different time, however the back legs hit and leave together. Its tail is by far the longest, curled at the end and slightly unraveling as it flicks up and down. Beneath the curved horns is a frill with two connections that slight opens and closes with the movement. It’s grin also opens and closes with the movement.

I've been wanting to redesign Sandwings since I watched Dune part two, that movie got me obsessed with Sandwings and I decided to draw them for a school project.

anatomy- sandwings are quite short compared to other tribes. they have flat bodies covered in spikes similar to thorny devils. they have large barbed tails, the stinger is strong enough to break through bone. Sandwings wings have large feather like structures that can join and separate at will, once separated they will create a rattling sound, sandwings will often rattle their wings as a sign of anger or fear.

unlike other tribes sandwings have partial hairs on their bodies. these are most notable in hatchlings who are covered head to tail in dark micro hairs which are used to protect parasites from digging under their scales. they also have whiskers which can detect changes in weather.
