Skywing Gladiator Helmet concepts: Part 1

Part 2 ⬅️ more designs

To me, the Skywing arena was the most memorable parts of the first book, and I liked the idea of Scarlet having consistent champions outside of prisoners, like Peril, that were used as actual fighters. Similar to the Roman colosseum’s style of fighting.

With how extravagant Scarlet’s punishments, hatching day, etc. are described, (she loves her bloody entertainment & fan fair). There’s no way she’d allow for her champions to go undecorated in the arena. Additionally, Skywings are implied to be the most battle experienced tribe, so they should have armor that reflects this sentiment.

Aside from the lore drop, I absolutely love rendering metal & armor, this was just an excuse for me to do that lol. It’s very interesting trying to fit helmets to dragon anatomy opposed to human anatomy. Gotta accommodate for horns, ears, and the snout. Really cool learning how to work around it!

Skywing average measurements/head base for helmets:

[ID: Two Wings of Fire dragons, Peril the SkyWing and Turtle the SeaWing. They are both sitting together on a blue background. Peril is bright orange with a yellow belly and softly glows yellow. She is looking over her shoulder to look quizzically at Turtle who is sitting to her right holding a marshmallow roasting stick near her back with a look of concentration on his face. His tongue is sticking out as he says 'Ok, this time it will work for sure!' On the ground below his feet are several burnt marshmallows smoking. Turtle is short, seaweed green with yellow accents, and plump. He wears a gold armband with sky fire on his right shoulder and a blue jade turtle earring on his left ear. /End]

Guess who finished a test and then finished this? Yep this guy did. A bit later than I wanted. But my favorite friendship is Turtle and Peril. Tall, awkward, lanky, terrifying trans lady befriends small, chubby, anxious, fish-smelling wizard child to go on a quest. I just love their interactions. And the fact that Turtle canonically has scales that are strong as diamonds/indestructible, that means they can give each other hugs. They definitely stay friends after the ends of the books. Maybe Turtle even helps her write scrolls about firescales so other firescale dragons have stories and experiences to draw from (Ruby totally makes it illegal to murder children based on a disability/gene mutation so there are going to be more mini Peril's running around and they deserve to have stories they can relate to).

I am trying to push my shapes a bit more. So lanky Peril and chubby Turtle. He's nice and round and she's a bit more pointy. I also switched up my Peril design a bit. Turtle is the same because I low key really like my design for him. But I saw a really cool theory about how Turtle should be Anemone's colors because he's the animus. So I might have to do a drawing of that. And maybe Anemone was 'standard' colors until she was cursed by Turtle. And then the magic starts forcibly changing her colors and pushing the other colors out.

ITS BEEN AWHILE SINCE IVE POSTED WOF HERE, SINCE THERES OBVIOUSLY MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THINGS GOING ON (+ i havent been really drawing much.....)

[fertbutt]

Sorry for like barely posting art anymore LOL heres a couple old-ish sketchy concepts for dragon thrones. i feel like regular seats would be extremely uncomfortable so I wanted something that a dragon queen could stretch out and loom over everybody else in

Scarlet is accidentally way too big in this drawing lol shed be like half the size in-canon

The skywing throne is probably marble with gold veins and idfk what the seawing throne is made of. The color makes me thing glass but thatd be way too fragile. maybe it was carved/shaped by an animus to be extra resilient?

Peril and Turtle for sure have a very fun dinamic, I even forgot that one of the first thing they did together was planning a murder 🔥

I'm not that interested in drawing WoF fanarts (canon characters, I mean) anymore, but I'm very proud of this one :3

Skywing Gladiator Helmets Part 2:

Part 1 + Lore behind these helmets, and why Skywings incorporated them in the arena!

Had way too much fun with the first batch of Skywing helmets, so now we have a baker’s dozen of them! Love drawing armor, even tricky ones like these guys are.

Average Skywing head base/measurement for Helmets:

Day 27 for @wof-october-prompts!! Prompt today was best friends :3

I had a few different ideas, mostly centered around arc 2 cuz arc 1 & 3 both are very... family oriented in my head, but I ended up going with these two!! Mostly cuz I've drawn A TON of Moon and Kinkajou and they're my other favorite best friend pair. xD

Turtle and Peril are great together I love how they interact. Their friendship is just SO interesting.

LAWYER PERIL 🤯🤯🤯 Based on this post.

The idea of Peril being into law stuff because of Osprey is very good to me.

I RAN FOR A COLOR PALETTE AS FAST AS I COULD.

If you’re still taking requests, I’ve been trying to come up with a new Skywing goober and have NOT had the design motivation-

Here’s a palette, go crazy >:D

little skywing :)
