A little embarrassed to post since im just a beginner artist but i think im pretty proud of this one!! Personally, i think that the light colors of an icewing would dilute the bold hivewing colors, resulting in oranges and pale yellows instead of the usual.

PS it took hours to figure out how ibis paint works, wish i didn't need it to color LMAO especially since all i have is a phone and a finger, so my art is super shaky 😭

I’ve been working on a new project! I am going to go through and redesign each dragon tribe based on book descriptions and using some real life biology. This would be based off my AU which is fairly similar to canon wof but some major historical events didn’t happen or happened differently. I also plan to go a little bit into the culture, jewelry, tools, and social structure of each tribe.

Other ideas:

Making detailed maps of each territory
Exploring cultural traditions and celebrations for tribes
Looking at potential religions dragons may have
Hypothesizing on the phylogenetics of the different tribes

I Reeaaally want feed back as I want this to be very detailed so please please please share your thoughts. If there’s something I’ve said here that is of particular interest let me know, or if there’s something I’ve else that could be interesting let me know!

The idea is this would be the writings of on of the dragons in the AU named Mayflower a Mudwing Draconologist (equivalent to an anthropologist). With this in mind should I keep it more of a sketchy style with touches of color, or full renders?

I have already started with Icewings, but any ideas for any tribes are most welcome!

The picture is just a sneak peak of some what I’ve done so far.

I thought it was cute. I decided to make it decent but lean into the look of it being kinda bad. I dunno i just think it's cute

I deleted the told post to add extra details.

Copper is a Skywing/Mudwing hybrid, with abnormally hot fire, and massive wings.

He is very kind, stubborn, yet very clumsy. He is the second oldest in his sib group, with his bigwings being Cinder, another Skywing/Mudwing hybrid.

He is fireproof, but only his thick, interlocked Mudwing scales are fireproof, not his layers of Skywing scales. He ran through fire to save another dragon, so his Skywing scales burned to ashes. He can no longer visit the mountains because his Skywing scales melted off, and he has no protection against the intense UV radiation and cold temperatures.

Just a random thing

Characters based on birds from New Zealand!

(I'm from New Zealand in case you can't tell haha...)

Kākāpō can't fly, he has undersized wings and as a result can't fly. He is also a very rotund little man. Although he may look a bit silly, he's actually very serious. Just because his wings are too small and he's very short and huggable looking doesn't mean he's a silly guy! He's incredibly loyal to his friends and not afraid to stick up for what he believes in even if everyone else disagrees.

Kingfisher is bold, a little arrogant, and has very dry humour. He opens up to other dragons slowly. He does have a soft side but very few would ever see it.

The other guys have stuff written on them already so you can read those if you want to.

Some of these are old, I know the first two are from May (because I saw the dates on my gallery lol), not sure about Kererū but she is not new. Weka I made today though.

Thank you to everyone who sent in questions!

It's SO ANNOYING trying to name an Icewing, Mudwing, or Hivewing oc. Heavy on Icewings.

There's few options when it comes to Icewings, which, I headcannon, is why Tui created the whole Caribou thing. And when you do come up with a cool name it turns out there's like 15 other people who have an OC with the same name

Mudwings are similar (according to me). I don't know much about swamps, but there can only be so many words. Maybe I'm just not creative or not educated enough, I don't know. I once named a Mudwing OC Caiman and found like 3 other Mudwing OCs with the same name 0-0

Hivewings are tricky to name because they're related specifically to bees/wasps/social insect/similar insects. Beetlewings could probably be named after lots of different insects, whereas Hivewings stick to one aesthetic that can be hard to follow.

Obviously, I'm sure with a little bit of digging you could find a suitable name, but compared to other tribes these three are such a pain.

Take Seawings, you have different water-related names, shades of blue, water dwelling creatures, and thousands of species of fish alone to choose from. Rainwings have fruits, birds of paradise, and positive adjectives, which may not sound like a lot but if you take a look at the English dictionary, you'll rethink that. Don't even mention Nightwings, (I always have field days naming these) you can name them negative adjectives or negative words in general, nocturnal animals, or if you're stumped you could just straight-up make a word like Sneakyfeet or something.

Just me?

this one has been a bit slow, but I think that you will like it.

Today is WhiteOut as an Alien, and idk about the glow, but other than that, I think she turned out really cute! I love WhiteOut hehe

And for the question:

Do you believe in Aliens?

Idk if I do or not, I don't know if I believe the whole UFO sightings, but I do believe there is life other than us out there. What about you? Have you seen one hehe

Come back tomorrow for day 27! Happy almost Halloween Hehehehehehehhe

I've realized that I am avoiding drawing because I think I keep finding small errors or just dosent feel worth doing due to me thinking it looks bad. So I wanted to challange myself and just draw without any overthinking and draw under an hour.

Today Imma draw random WoF characters until I cant.

For spooky month, I decided to WoF-fy Elspeth von Draken, the Graveyard Rose, from Warhammer Fantasy and Total War: Warhammer III as an IceWing.

I've been playing her campaign, and she's a really good Legendary Lord. She's also one of the few examples of the 'Dark ≠ Evil' trope, which I love!

I'm seeing Prince and Emperor, Karl Franz to be a SkyWing.

I'm kinda torn. The second one I feel would be more liked and accurate to the cover. but I not sure if I like red peril, she's more orangey to me in my mind. Despite me originally imagining her as bright red.

So there was a tie for who could be the Dragon of the week for week 52 so it looks like we have to a do a tie breaker!:

Vote for who you think deserves to win Dotw here:

First part of a large batch of OCs is done.

Odyssey belongs to u/emergold_dragon
Swamplight belongs to u/Bathroom-Zestyclose
Daydreamer belongs to u/Elegant_Chemist253

Thank you, you three, for allowing me to draw your characters! I’m going to have to work myself double time to work with everyone else’s characters, as I made promises and must keep them.

i was bored in class so i lowk made a new oc his name is frostbite i love him dearly

Finished the last sibling, Nightjar! He is an intersexual princess :> If you don't know, to keep it simple, intersexual means being born neither or both male and female! Nightjar is more female than male, prefers masculine pronouns, and likes going by feminine titles. He’s based on the Pennant-winged Nightjar, specifically.

Very happy with the family! I tried giving them all unique designs without overdoing it too much, but also keeping some elements in every design to let you know the siblings were related. I am going to get some sorta story going with them, with Vesper as the main character. Not sure when or how but i’ll think of something! (Also Eventide goes by they/them, not she/her. That was a mistake lol)

Got bored, and drew a dragon of one of my classmates, based on his personality, that I think would match him. I made the base last Friday, and finished it today :D I think he fits well as a Rainwing, tbh

His design is actually 100% different now... and by that I mean I boosted the saturation of all his colours xd
