#Wof skywing

[dryptosaurusghost]

Wof tribes redesign again!!!!! Ive been figuring out how to make them quadroped wingwalkers with malleable hands in a way that i like. I gave them pterosaur swag cause theyre my fav beasts.

notes under tha cut

Ancestral traits of my headcannon tribes

feathers, exterior ears, six limbs, beaks with teeth, wing walking, thumb knucklewalking

skywings- upright posture with long long limbs, lacking a wing thumb for a more aerodynamic build, reduced tail. They have the hottest fire and hunt aerial prey, they are highly mobile in the air.

Icewings- tallest tribe, black skin under feathers. Clear feathers, feathers on neck modified to form shiny/pearlescent spikes. They rattle when they move and they persist ant hunt large land prey.

Nightwings- Covered in iridescent star spots, have grooves on their patagium to facilitate silent flight (a la owl), and have fluff around their beaks. They have really good hearing.

rainwings- Standard posture has flexible neck folded, feathers and scales can change color. Small, elliptical wings allow for fast pursuit through thick forest but are not good for long distance flight. Short legs are better for climbing then running.

Mudwing- Has tusks that grow through the lower jaw and thick armor and osteoderms. Secondarily featherless and wallow to avoid sun damage. Sit and wait ambush predators, a la crocodile, squat posture means they are not efficient walkers.

Sandwing- Long limbs, mane down back with quill spines. dark skin to protect against sun damage, Ossicones! Grapple flying prey and immobilize them with their tail stingers.

Seawings- Largest dragons, thick webbed spines on back that can flatten down, short wings permit flight but are not efficient. Better at swimming then walking or flying. Barbles on face are sensory organs.

i plan on designing clothes for these things at some point

Confession

Brimstone (skywing) confesses her feelings to Crashingstar (nightwing)

Some how surprising the mind reader who has future sight that rivals even Clearsight.

Flower- Nigella, Love in a mist

Harmony, love, you puzzle me

Hc that skywings that are wyverns are considered “true skywings” and are looked highly upon in skywing society

"Mom, Dad, how did you meet?" Well, I’ve already told you about my version of the Wings of Fire lore — now it’s time to introduce the main characters.

Araneus is a HiveWing aristocrat with a mocking, sadistic personality. He was exiled from Pantala, as even his own kind found his treatment of the SilkWings excessively cruel.

Piranha is a SkySeaWing hybrid with unusual thinking and a nasty habit of smashing her victims’ heads.

At first, Araneus marked Piranha as his next victim and tried to approach her with the intent to kill. But he changed his mind when he found out she was also a killer — and then became genuinely interested in getting to know her.

How to Spot a Dragon Before it Spots You!

(Written by a human for humans in the Wings of fire universe).

Transcriptions of my chicken scratch and closeups of each tribe can be found here (two separate posts)!

Otherwise, next week I begin Overcomplicating the Pantala tribes. See you then!

I was inspired by a bird of prey identification poster at my sister's school. It had a very similar layout. I really loved the coloured poses and the multiple silhouettes and thought it would work so well for the Wings of Fire dragons. I'd seen another artist experiment with their wings shapes and wanted to give it a try myself. This is the result! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

All the designs you see here are not final - I drew these without properly planning their full bodies, but the final versions I will try to keep as similar as possible. The only change I might make is the position of their wings. I also won't go back and change this because it doesn't need it. They look good enough like this and, who knows, the changes I make might not be enough that the final designs would be any different. I will be doing a lot of muscle and skeletal anatomy, possibly written in the perspective of a NightWing since they seem like the type to explore the insides of a dragon for science.

This, however, is written in the perspective of a very lucky human who saw these dragons and lived to tell the tale. Or maybe it was a collaborative effort between multiple people adding their own wisdoms, like the Dragon Manual in HTTYD 1. I haven't read Dragonslayer but I think they refer to the dragons as '[element] dragon' (not [Element]Wing at least). I also think that they're not sure RainWings exist (at least according to the 'Here Be Dragons?' over the rainforest, but I didn't want to exclude them from this piece).

The main purpose this guide would serve in-universe would be to help humans identify dragons, preferably before ever being seen. That's why I used a lot of auditory and movement descriptions unique to each tribe, ways that a person could identify a dragon without needing to be close.

I'll be splitting the closeups into 3 and 4 tribes each following this post so you're not scrolling for 10 years (you still will be but I'll try to keep it brief. Will I succeed? No!

Stay tuned next week for the beginning of Overcomplicating the Pantalan Tribes: SilkWings!!!

The hybrid prince

So..like um..

Mulberry.

I hope he's a sky/night hybrid and he'll give birth to a new prophecy. Seriously, Moon isn't the only one doing this, right?

SKYWIIIINGGGGGG

I'm working on making my dragons more differenty and fun 🥺

They walk on they wings and have little heat vents on they neck 🥺

I imagine the fold in their spine spikeys when flying and puff them up to look bigger (when angry or smth)

Aaalllso when they catch prey, I can see them puffing plumes of fire on it (while still in they mouth) and like.... cook it I guess????? This is useless info but it's in my brain so I'm writing it down

I tried to make them look birdlike 🤔

ALSO i bet they have fancy cigarette thingys and pipes and stuff (so do other fire breathers)
