I’m going to start drip feeding ya’ll my old base edit designs. These are dated from October 2021. These are free to use.

From top to bottom: Lynx, Vulture, Thoughtful, Auklet

LORE DUMP‼️‼️ Buckle up losers, I’ve got a new WoF AU and OCs to boot. Welcome to my shitty dragon crime drama.

It currently doesn’t have a title or anything, it just exists. Here’s the deets:

1. This story takes place several decades after Arc 3. A lot of canon characters still exist, meaning I’ll be referencing them and what they’ve become. Eventually I might develop this into a whole future AU, and write all the alliances and everything, but for now I’ll just mention some key players.

2. These characters live in a city called Unity. In A Guide to the Dragon World, Anemone mentioned wanting to build an intertribal city for MudWings, SeaWings and RainWings. Well, guess what! She did, and that’s Unity. Unfortunately, it’s hard to make dragons to get along, especially when generational wounds linger from the War of SandWing Succession. To make matters more complicated, many Pantalan dragons have settled in Unity, bringing with them unfamiliar ideas and abilities.

3. To outsiders, Unity is a gleaming beacon of hope for intertribal cooperation. Most visitors don’t stay long enough to witness anything more. Residents live in an entirely different world. Unity is ruled by multiple factions, known colloquially as Hordes. Hordes control anything and everything they can get their claws on. Some Hordes, inspired by the Outclaws of the Scorpion Den, try to maintain justice within Unity. Most exist to amass wealth and power.

4. Hordes may be intertribal or tribe-specific. Even those exclusive to one tribe may call upon agents from another for their unique abilities. Alliances are constantly shifting, and if you gain a reputation with the Hordes, it’s best that you make yourself forgettable—or risk getting swept up in their plans.

AND NOW FOR OUR CAST:

Iridescence is a sly RainWing-SilkWing hybrid living in the city of Unity. Her striking colors make her stand out in any crowd, but more striking is her reputation. She is notoriously clever, conniving, and coy, using her delicate appearance to lull others into a false sense of security. She primarily trades Pantalan imports, but under cover of night, she deals in more…sinister goods. Poisons are her specialty. With the help of Kudzu, her leafspeaking assistant, she cultivates dozens of toxic plants to use in her concoctions.

Kudzu is a reserved, cynical LeafWing. He hails from a small group of LeafWings who, resenting Queen Sequoia’s push for peace, left Pantala in pursuit of isolation. To avoid his parents’ preaching about Pantalan politics, he spent most of time studying the flora and fauna of Pyrrhia. He would later move to Unity, where he studied under a SeaWing doctor and eventually opened his own practice. Soon after, he began working with Iridescence, helping her make poisons in exchange for funding his studies. His true passion is medicine.

Salamander is a timid, quiet MudWing. MudWing troops are a common sight in Unity, but nobody knows which she hails from. Salamander prefers to keep it that way. Her Bigwings, Caiman, is one of Unity’s deadliest Horde bosses. Salamander is rarely involved with her sibs’ crimes—they consider her much too anxious to bring along—except when they need her fireproof scales. As of late, Salamander has been spending more time in Caiman’s neighborhood, raising suspicions about her loyalties. Fortunately, she has an alibi. Rumor has it that Caiman has developed smokesickness, a rare and potentially fatal disease. As one of Unity’s mail carriers, it’s simply Salamander’s job to deliver her medicine.

If you read this far, wow! Thanks! I hope it was interesting. You’ll probably be seeing more of these characters on my blog. Feel free to ask questions, make OCs/suggestions for this AU, etc etc. I’ll share more of their story as time goes on.

As a bonus, here’s a size reference for the characters, based on my tribe headcanons:

The bases were made by Joy Ang. I got these from the Wings of Fire wiki—I can’t remember who posted them but I’ll try and update with them soon. Edits and colors made by yours truly.

Decided to make some basefills for my oc DoD. Relined bases are by k9pestilence. Image descriptions are in the alt text for each image.

[corvid-feathers]

I colored in another Carnivorous Ruse base, mainly posting this because editing out the webbed talons was a pain. I wanted him to look more hybrid, but dang that was hard to edit. It looks really good though

[verridith]

So I have Thoughts about canon Seawing design. Making a comparison with Biohazardia's wonderful base (because it keeps to canon while giving these dragons BEAUTIFUL anatomy)!

The top is the OG Biohazardia Seawing base with canon scales and markings. The bottom is my edit, with custom unique markings.

I've always thought the neck scales on Seawings were cool, but was always confused as to why they're not repeated anywhere else. They're big, have a unique shape and look fantastic... but so out of place. Why not repeat them all along the body, or at least down the tail? Does it have a reason, like lion's manes? Is that stated anywhere? I just don't understand LOL

And then the markings is more of a personal preference than design nitpick - I think unique characters should have unique markings, but I understand how that may have been lost in translation between writing and art. Glowing markings can have so many different shapes and appearances, and I love to play with those!

So in my edit, I did away with all premade markings, and altered the shoulders, thighs, flanks and tail to have a more cohesive scale/plate pattern. And, of course, the ability to do whatever needs be done with marking patterns. What do you think? Too far from canon? Let me know!

Dromedary edit and design

[corvid-feathers]

Skywing I made on a GN base (I edited the chains onto it), the base used was made by Carnivorous Ruse on deviantart. This character has a lot of lore and is genuinely one of the reasons I made an AO3 account, haven't finished her story yet but I will post it eventually.

I've been reading NightWings myths again and it's wild how there's no ending to the Darkstalker legend. Like they all talk about how evil and terrifying it was and how it was some great monster, but they all go in different directions when it comes to how it was defeated. Like nobody could even figure out how to beat something like that.

what if instead of being defeated by some hero or being tricked into destroying himself darkstalker just went underground and lives in the mountains
