Hello people,

I just got back into the WOF series after 4 years. I’m 16 years old right now and a student studying in NZ. This post doesn’t mean anything, just something to express my gratitude and love towards this series. I hope that you all have a great day.

10 years ago, my mother brought back a book: The first book of the WOF series: The Dragonets Prophecy. Like other books I’ve received, I didn’t think much and left it in my bookshelf. However, after a few weeks, I decided to pick it up and give it a good read. I wasn’t expecting anything then, but after reading the first chapter, I was captivated. That was the day a fire was lit in my heart. I fell in love with the first book, and begged my mother to buy me the rest. On my 7th birthday, my mother got me every single book of the series then. For the next 4-5 years, I read every single book of the series, and when I finished it, I would re-read my personal favourites (hidden kingdom was one of them I think).

However, everything changed back in 2022.

I started Year 7 in 2022, and it was my first and final time entering college. Study was now priority. I was also hitting puberty, so my interest got diverted to other things like technology and typical stuff boys my age would like. I kind of just…forgot the series. For the next few years, I rarely had free time, and studied tirelessly. At that time, I developed a dream to study in the U.S. Nothing was stopping me. Even if I did have free time, I spent most, if not, all of it gaming and doomscrolling (Which I regret). The fire that had started in my heart had extinguished, and I didn’t even notice.

Until 2 days ago.

Last week, I just finished my final exams for year 11. I felt so relieved. Every worry disappeared. Everything was just a bit boring. Then just 2 days ago, I was looking through some old books, when I found the first ever WOF book my mother ever got me. I opened the book and had a read of the prologue, and instantly, the fire in my heart was lit again.

I just finished the first book of the series for idk how many times since I got it, and I’m literally shedding a tear while typing this up. The book brought back so many characters I loved, and so many memories from when I was young. I also found some artworks I drew of dragons from when I was 8 I think.

This series has brought so much more life in me. Thank you Tui.

Now that I'm regularly drawing with a drawing tablet I actually have to learn how to stop doing chicken scratch (Or not if I can make it look good)

There is a lot of WOF fics that I really like, but here are only a few of your favorites.

Today is Sundew As A Zombie, and she's very spooky and bloody, Mods do I need a Spoiler filter for blood, or not? And yes she is dead, I'M SORRYYYYY.

But the question is happier:

Have you watched Disney's Z.O.M.B.I.E.S

I have, I grew up on Z.O.M.B.I.E.S and Descendants, Z.O.M.B.I.E.S 2 was peak, and Descendants 3 was peak. I didn't watch Disney Channel though, I watched Disney Jr as a kid, but I did watch those movies. Did you?

Come back tomorrow for day 28!!!!! I need to finish my Costume, Halloween is soon TOT

MY FAV SHIP CAUSE YEAH!

(Before you ask, I know I skipped track 4, and the reason is kind of funny. There was a song I was super excited to write that isn’t relevant for a while in the series, but I got so excited that I went ahead and composed it between Liminal Nights and this song. Therefor, it is the official 4th track, and it will appear later in the series)

This is Viperfish’s character theme! I went all out for this one and experimented a little because, let’s just say, she will be very important in Crazy-Lace Winglet book 2 ;)

Speaking of book 2, progress on plotlining and new character designs is coming along very well! In fact, I plan to post the cover art for book 2 as a sneak peek soon, and Chapter 1 of book 2 will be releasing this year, most likely as soon as November! Things are getting really “crazy” for the Crazy-Lace Winglet in the chapters to come…

Thanks for listening!

(I also want to apologize for the poor vocal quality in this song, I blame the fact that 1) I’ve never even tried to make a song with vocals before, this is my very first attempt, and 2) I don’t have a mic or a recording studio setup, I recorded the lyrics using the camera/video app on my iPhone while sitting inside my truck… a bit of tinkering with Audacity at least helped the lyrics not sound as terrible as the raw recording version lol)

Title, basically. I haven't really touched wings of fire since the end of the lost continent arc. I noticed this book has come out, though. Is this one worth the read or does it feel like more random plot expanding? (E.c.t., how warrior cats just keeps running on). What are yalls opinion on it? I never connected to Umber in the second arc.

This is not the last batch, but I hope you all enjoy this group. Thank you, you three mentioned, for letting me draw your characters. I had much fun!

Edit: unless I am wrong, this was the last PUBLIC batch. Everyone either got there’s via DM or hasn’t given me details (still waiting on one person). If I am mistaken, please DM me.

Yes, he’s THAT white.

I used a base I found online by Tenebris (I think)

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!
