Daily dragon!! Indigo having a moment with Blob. More playing with poses!! Sorta. I wanted something between sitting and standing and I think I managed it. Also the like, headturn. I'm still figuring that one out which is a shame because I use it everywhere

[fiendish-illos]

i love my middle-aged romance (i'm aging them up because i have free will and a refined taste in romance dynamics)

i'm kinda surprised how much the WoF fandom has slept on Fathom and Indigo's relationship and story, like,,, it's probably the most well-written romance in the whole story (from what i can remember, which is not as much as i'd like so dont quote me on that, i'm already on the corkboard enough as is alread), so i kinda expected more people to jump on board. not that i mind, of course, it only gives me more satisfaction to expound on them :]<

oh also i took inspiration from @mothpawbs seawing armor headcanon that they made that one time for Indigo's helmet, hope that's alright :3c

“Two spells like that — my soul could be almost gone. You need to know so you can get away from me.”

Fathom is far from unique as a character archetype but i still love him all the same (ngl one of my ocs have a similar premise). Love his dynamic with Indigo but it breaks my heart the way he desperately tries (and ultimately fails) to push her away for her own good. Again, Is he groundbreaking or unique? No, not really. Is he compelling all the same? absolutely.

Indigo and Fathom

[resident-wof-expert]

Wings of Fire most of the time: Haha! Silly dragons! Xp

Wings of Fire once in a blue moon: One of the shortest chapters in the series with Shakespearean levels of subtext condensed into it.

Wings of Fire, once again:

Indigo: Fathom, he was an evil motherfucker. Let him go.

Fathom: Okie-dokie :)

Took another swing at some Seawings.

I decided i liked Albatross's lil horn crown he had in the comics. I also leaned into the "he's half Icewing" headcanon again. Who knows why, maybe some failed animus breeding project. Those Icewing genes are strong.

Indigo is more wavy are resembles Tsunami.

Webs is a droopy, droopy man with some sea lion whiskers.

also had to draw darkstalker & co. this was like one of my fave books in the series

I AM REREADING WINGS OF FIRE DARKSTALKER AHHHHHHHH

I remember why I loved this book so much

[escapismmaxing]

wonder who these two are

3000 AS character drawings

(Fathom, Indigo, Pearl, Albatross)

I appear to have developed an addiction to drawing dragons. There is no known treatment, so I have been advised to just ride it out and see where it goes. Here are some ancient Seawings:

Prince Fathom

Fathom is said to look remarkably similar to his descendant Turtle, or at least Darkstalker seems to think so. He could be an unreliable narrator who assumes all green Seawing lads look the same though, who knows.

When I picture Fathom, I imagine him as looking visibly marred by what he experienced. He is careworn and looks tired most of the time because, at night, spiraling thoughts and stress dreams are interfering with his sleep. His general physique is a bit oddly proportioned, with some areas of his body (face and extremities) looking more gaunt than others, indicating that he has rapidly lost weight.

Hoping he was able to return to some form of normalcy and make a recovery after the conclusion of the Darkstalker book.

Indigo

Fathom's childhood friend, bodyguard, and numerous other things. I have no idea what the plans of the graphic novel adaptations are with regards to the Darkstalker book, so I don't know if she will get an actual depiction any time soon.

I gave her a forward-swept, somewhat wild-looking head fin because I thought that was fitting for her character. It contrasts with the more put-together, rounder, or rigid appearances of the royals she is surrounded by.

Princess Pearl

Fathom's uptight sister and future Queen of the Seawings. As far as I know, the books never go into detail with regards to her color scheme. I imagine that, in terms of looks, she takes a lot after her grandfather, resulting in a light blue coloration. Some of these traits would then later be passed down the royal Seawing line until they resurface in her descendant Anemone.

I do sometimes think about what happened after the Darkstalker book. Does she believe her brother is dead? Or is it assumed he evacuated with the rest of the Nightwings? Did Fathom ever try to reconnect with her in later years?

Prince Albatross

Fathom and Pearl's grandfather and person of historical infamy. The graphic novels draw him very blue, but he is described in text as unnaturally pale, almost white. Really minor detail in his luminous patches: I drew them that way to suggest he passed his spherical markings on to Pearl (which she then got her name from) and the crescent markings were inherited by Fathom.

Also, his ear is frayed and worn. I imagine he developed a nervous tick where he squeezes and yanks his ear whenever he is upset due to his sister's constant abuse.

------------------------------------------------

Errata:

I initially wrote that Anemone is Pearl's ancestor. This was a nonsensical lapse of thought, as, barring questionable time travel plots, she is obviously her descendant. Corrected.

royal seawing family tree that i spent way too long on,, might do other wof family trees too so lmk if there's any specific ones you'd like to see 👀

[inkshine]

Okay I know that Clearsight, Fathom and Indigo were able to significantly move on from Darkstalker and the pain he caused (eg. Fathom and Indigo being together happily, Clearsight moving on and starting a new life for herself with new lovers) but I just know that they always felt haunted by everything that happened to some degree for the rest of their lives, and that really sucks.

[willoillo]

Indigo & Fathom this time!! I find these two really fascinating as a mirror for Clearsight & Darkstalker

Also they're just like. Cute. So there's that.

[whiteoutzz]

haha hii hello. have they interacted in canon, like at all? of course not! but also its funny and also i think people should have more silly ships with whiteout involved

[id: "me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic" meme. drawn below the caption are whiteout and indigo, with messy rough lineart and messy coloring; whiteout sits at the front, short and chubby, midnight scales with lighter underbelly and white mane on her neck and tuft on the forehead. She has white spots and freckles on her face and neck. She is smiling smugly, looking directly at the camera with purple eyes with orange pupils. Behind her sits Indigo, taller and stocky, catfish like whiskers, short horns and frills, as well as pinkish arch and circle shaped bioluminescent marks. Her scales on the forehead and frills are dark purple, while underbelly is lighter. She has two large red scars on her throat and gills on her neck. She is looking at Whiteout bit awkwardly with orange eyes with red pupils, blushing. Both of their blushes are magenta pink. Background is a starry night with purple tint, covered in stars. / end id]

Unsorted WOF thoughts part 194:

Some parallels between Tsunami and Indigo:

Both undoubtedly know how to kick ass.

Not dealing with any of your manipulative bullshit.

Both had an entire scene where they publicly took advantage of their status as a hero to get begruding favors from the SeaWing Queen.

Both outwitted an animus dragon (Tsunami escaping Orca's statue and Indigo personally killing Albatross).
