i ask that you credit me if you use this, you can @ me here or on tumblr if you do as well (i'd love to see!)

back on my wof bullshit. wanted to do this without looking at any actual sandwing designs so it was just getting my own thoughts on how a sandwing should look down. not entirely happy with it, there's some things i'd like to change but as a first iteration it's fine.

feel free to do whatever with this !! if anybody is interested in using this as a base, i'll make a transparent version

COUGH COUGH when I remember I haven't posted in months...

A commission I did for my friend @snailso0 of their wings of fire OC Mamba!!! Very proud of how it turned out and was the only thing that got me drawing after a 4 month art block! :D

PUT SOME CLOTHES ON

I was going to do the one big image I had of the, but it was blurry so here’s a bunch of smaller ones

Here’s the big one btw and a typed-out version of my handwriting :

Going top down from seawings to nightwings:

From top left in seawing drawing to the right is 'full coverage in wet robes (especially gills), 'sun visor' 'slits for wings' 'shoes for delicate feet' underlined is 'sea commoner' 'to reduce swimming drag, most wear only a few bags and tools' next underlined is 'sea nobility ' 'lots of flowy expensive fabrics (instead of woven seaweed) + other expensive stuff like pearls'

Underlined is 'sky soldier' to the right is 'light leather and mail' below to the left is 'net and stab from above' then by the foot is 'main weapons are talons and sword'. To the upper right underlined is 'sky civilian' ->'wing "shoe " stays on during flight ' below that is 'bone jewelry and stone colors' below that is 'rarely touch ground for long+actual shoes are unnecessary weight, so they just wear "socks" '

Underlined in the upper left is 'sled merchant ' below that is pointing to the 'wings steer' to the far right is 'cloak can be pulled up or down for wings' back to the lower left near the front feet it's ' studs on shoes to replace claws for grip' pointing to the 'ground soldier (which is underlined to the right) it says 'goggles for snow glare' below that is 'stronger wing arms used to strike' near the bottom it says 'pick and grappling hook' and then in far bottom right it says 'air troops have less clothing and operate via fast, powerful dive strikes'

From top left it's ' imported jewlery' right above the underlined 'spear fisher' below that is 'hunting is done using stealthy bursts' going to the right of that us the underlined 'saltwater marsh dweller' and up pointing at the green striped clothing is 'colors help deter flies' to the right of that is the 'throw helper'

'Cowl carving of the three moons' by the head of the pink one, 'constantly changing' by their wing. To the right is the underlined 'dancer' bottom right is the underlined 'forager' underneath says 'usually only wear gathering basket for max camo'

Starting at the head of the upper sandwing says 'mask for sand' below that is 'carrying most belongings' by rhe feet is the underlined 'nomad' and to the right by their leg covering is 'meant to blend in' while the worss by the tail say 'tail and front claws exposed for climbing and hunting' going back to the left under the underlined nomad says 'some cities require citizens to bundle their tail upon entry' and directly to the right is 'nomads are more likely to use weapons to preserve their sting' the underlined bit directly to the right says 'oasis settler' under that it says 'shoes b/ of paved streets' near the wings it says 'wings only exposed for heat dispersion, relatively less used'

Upper left is 'goggles and mask because of smoke/ash' below that is underlined 'worker'. Words pointing to the white robed one's head say 'goes outside less,more jewlery/gadgets because of status' next to that is 'glasses to male up for farsightedness' upper underlined word is 'scholar', to the right is 'covered wings as a symbol of importance (they get taken places rather than flying themselves)'

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.
