peacemaker is a weird dangerous brat or I blow them up

(they don’t have wings on purpose. I don’t think the design needs them tbh + hc it’s not that uncommon for Rainwings to be born wingless

Hey all! I’ve finally got a batch of adopts up on my Toyhouse! These ones are themed after the sky. If you’re not on TH but still wanna snag one of these fellas, DM me and I can work that out with you. The link + some previews of the designs are below :)

Hey Wings of Fire folks! I found a bunch of old adopt ideas in the depths of my Procreate files and I decided I should finish them up. If I were to put them up for sale/trade, what’s the best place to do that? I was thinking of putting them up on my Toyhouse but I don’t know how many of y’all have/use that (or if you can use it without having a full account.) I’m very new to TH so any advice is appreciated, I might also just post them all here :D

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.

A little break from requests—my mutual @vinnystaysawake is REALLY stoked about the recent Pokémon leaks and it got us talking about his and his friends’ Pokémon ship. I promptly turned into a Wings of Fire AU. He insisted that I post it. I’m not set on Kynthos as Cynthia’s name, so if anyone has any suggestions, throw em in the comments!

Characters: Cirrus (Cyrus, IceWing), Kynthos (Cynthia, NightWing), Sting (Sidney, SandWing)

Time for another request: Moonwatcher, suggested by @steve-the-dino! For this one I thought it’d be fun to try drawing Moon in both my retro style and my “normal” style with some of my own WoF headcanons. My style isn’t super consistent, so I took the opportunity to try out some new brushes and techniques.

Retro moon has been simplified a little since the last time I drew her. She no longer has spikes on her head, and the small line of spikes on her tail have been replaced with three large ones. I like to give her the same heart-shaped nose that I give Clearsight, and big, soft eyes. I think in a Bluth movie, she’d be portrayed as introverted, bashful, and kind—perhaps to a fault.

My personal Moon design looks a LOT different. Her colors are far less saturated, and I like to give her a bit of iridescence, as she’s said to be multicolored in the books. I also make the scales on her back very light as if she’s always being washed in moonlight. I like to think that NightWings look otherworldly compared to other tribes, so instead of horns, I give them an alien-looking crest. I think the next time I draw Moon I’m going to give her a lot more purple. A lot of people portray her as green because of the cover, but I think in the books she was described as purple and blue!

In both designs, I give Moon green eyes and bright silver scales. In retro drawings, I’d make her about the same size as the rest of the Jade Winglet, but otherwise I headcanon NightWings being one of the smaller tribes. Moon is bigger than the average NightWing in both height and build, since she grew up in the rainforest instead of on the volcano. Large, round shapes can portray both softness and strength, and while the former certainly applies to Moon, I think she’s physically quite adept as well.

I saw your requests are open! Could you perhaps, Draw Clay? No pressure of course!

Another couple of requests! Peril was suggested by @nirlkrm, and the user I responded to requested Clay. I decided to draw this one in my retro style since I'd never drawn Clay that way, and I wanted to revisit my design for Peril. Usually, I pick a background from an old Don Bluth movie, but I already had this background from The Lion Guard saved—courtesy of LionGuardKujenga on Deviantart. It's been edited slightly to be brighter and more saturated.

Next up in the requests: @threemoonwatchers suggested Fathom and @incorporeal-entity suggested Clearsight, so I decided to draw them together! This is one of my favorite scenes of them, where they meet for the first time and Clearsight is overjoyed to see Fathom. She’s seen him in countless visions and already feels like they’re best friends, and while Fathom hasn’t met Clearsight until now, I imagine he’s so, so happy to meet someone who has faith and trust in him after a lifetime being shunned by his tribe. They both got happy endings, but it hurts my heart to know they probably never saw each other again after the events of Darkstalker.

Thanks to everyone who suggested some dragons for me to draw! First up is Whiteout suggested by @kittyfirest0rm. I realized I haven’t drawn her hardly at ALL despite her being a favorite of mine. This isn’t quite my retro style—I’d love to do a drawing of her like that later.

Hello wings of fire fandom. I’ve just remembered that tumblr exists because I really. REALLY wanna draw some dragons. Gimme some dragons to draw

HOOOOOLY CRAP THESE LOOK SO GOOD. I hope we get to see more characters illustrated! I’d love to see how Yamamura interprets them, as well as the other tribes!

So the cover for the Japanese translation of TDP just dropped. Looks really neat!! Lookat him! Clay!!
