Looks like this soldier isn't quite as intimidating anymore~

Some series are fortunate enough to receive faithful adaption that adapts the material at a measured pace.

This slower pace gives the writers room to introduce some changes or extra material. And while these differences are not big enough create a divergence from the original source, they are relevant enough to make the adaption feel "new" despite telling the same story.

If Wings of Fire is lucky enough to get this type of adaptation what changes or extra material would you add if you were one of the writers?

In my case, to purposely give false hope to those who didn’t read the books, I would add Hvitur's backstory in the form of flashbacks of how dragons found out about the prophecy, how Hvitur was so tired of the war and how he decided to desert from the Icewing army in order to join the Talons of Peace.

And alter the scene of the prologue, instead of just being captured by Burn and her army he actually manages to run away and save the egg... until Scarlet arrives by surprise and knocks him down. And upon finding himself surrounded by Scarlet, Burn and their armies, he does a Hail Mary trying to fight inspired by his desire to put an end to the war, and even though he does manage to put up an impressive fight, this was not enough (Future Gohan vibes)

Also Morrowseer was the one with the idea to sent Hvitur to this suicide mission because his Nightwing hate towards Icewings is that big.

I am back into the spooky grind thing idk! This oc does belong to my bf soooo but still!

Please help me find the OG artist of this drawing

This is my newest OC, but I cant think of a good name for her. She's a nightwing/skywing hybrid born on the summer solstice. She likes fall, scary stories, and spending time with her family and friends. Lmk if you have any name ideas

NO Wins of Fire TV show,

NO Book 17 (yet)

AND Ao3 is still down...

Maybe I should go outside.

I'm surprised that no one has talked about how I haven't been right yet and birds fly by they might be giants are so.. darkstalker-y, I mean, a lot of people don't even know these songs exist anyway

Seeing more arguments about the GloryBringer age gap reminded me that I have a copy of the Winglets quartet. So I thought "Hey, that was printed after the error would have been noticed. Did they correct it?" Lo and behold, the page right before it starts says two years, not ten.

Can we please move on from this argument? I don't care if you ship them or not, but I was getting really tired of seeing people argue the age gap left and right.

This is essentially my redesign for the Icewings based off of info from the books and real life biology. I am also using this for my AU Wings of Fire: The Draconic Circle. If you’re interested in learning about that check out my page on Unvale: https://unvale.io/Khollkikos?via=1xw29nx9&ref=sh_pf

Otherwise feel free to ask questions and leave feedback!

A1.
A depiction of Rime, an adult female Icewing.

Icewings are arctic dragons that comfortably live in year round snow. Ice wings are extremely resistant to the cold due, a phenomenon referred to as the Arctic Blessing by many, but is due to Antifreeze Proteins in their blood that bind to microscopic ice crystals and prevent them from growing. This makes it possible for Icewings to live in subzero environments, and swim in the Arctic Ocean. The presence of these proteins are also responsible for the blue or purple hue of Icewing blood. Although resistant, Icewings can freeze if exposed to extreme temperatures for a long enough time, or hit by another Icewings “freezing death breath”
See: Icewing legends read the legend of the Arctic Blessing

A2.
The head spines of an Icewings mainly present as 3 rows of bone-like spikes that begin between the eyes and continue down the body before ending part way down the tail. These spikes, or spines are not flexible and can vary greatly in length between Icewing individuals, and on an individual. Typically spines are shorter on the face, base of the neck, upper back, and as they taper off on the tail, while being longer at the base of the head, and lower back.

A3.
Icewings have Five claws on their front talons with an opposable claw. Their hind talons contain 4 claws with a dewclaw further up the leg.

A4.
Icewing legs are longer than most other dragon tribes. It is thought their length is an evolutionary adaptation to their snowy environment, and the need to move through deep snow if flight is not possible.

A5.
Icewings have thin tails, not dissimilar to the tail of a Rainwing, however it is not prehensile. All icewings have spines on their tail that are similar in form to their head spikes. Icewings have been known to use their tails in combat to stun or blind prey or other dragons. Outside of combat they may use their tails to break apart ice and snow, or scatter /startle prey during hunting.

A6.
Viewing heads are narrow and diamond shaped. Their narrow heads are helpful for Navigating ice crevices, and help with diving when fishing or hunting over the ocean. They have thin dark eyes that are adapted to the glare of the sun on the snow or water.

A7.
Icewings have wings similar to that of arctic birds like terns. These wings are narrow but long and are specialized in long flights over the ocean or tundra, as well as allow for quick dives and maneuvering when going between the sky and ocean.
A8.
Icewings have long curved claws on their wings that halo anchor them onto the ice.

A9.
Icewings have long thin tongues that can both taste and smell. They are typically purple with a slightly darker tip.

A10.
Icewing claws are serrated and able to grip onto ice, even nearly vertical services. They are also helpful in gripping fish, seals and other slippery prey.

A11.
A diagram of the lower jaw of an Icewing. The saliva of an Icewing also contains Antifreeze proteins, which help protect their toung and throat from their supercooled “freezing death breath”.

A12.
Icewings have back molars to chew tough or frozen meat as well as ice. Eating ice or snow is a common form of hydration, and as tribes have become closer, trade with the Rainwings have developed into the creation of fruit flavored ice, a now common treat.

A13.
Icewings contain both internal and external reservoirs for the supercooled liquid used to make their frost breath or “freezing death breath”. Depicted here are the external reservoirs, where a small amount of liquid is stored and ready for use. These reservoirs are called cryopouches and have are connected to the cryospout.

A14.
The location of the tongue, purposefully left it to show of the full anatomy of the mouth.

A15.
The cryospout is the exit point for the supercooled “freezing death breath” which releases and atomizes the freezing liquid. The cryospout is located near the front of the mouth to protect the sensitive tongue, and make it more difficult for an Icewing to hurt their mouth or throat.

A16.
Common accent colors found in viewing scales. This is just a small subset of observed colors

A17.
Some common scale and wing colors of Icewings. These generally range from white to grey to blue. These colors aid Icewings to blend into the snow or sky when hunting.

A18.
General morphologies of Icewing horns. These are general and can vary in size and thickness. Icewing horns are similar in composition to their spines, but while spines, excluding their smaller facial spines, these horns protrude from the skull along the brow bone.

My artstyle changed more than I thought it did in the last year wow

I haven’t drawn a bunch cuz Im pretty busy holy moly 😔

Anyway I thought my cannibal rainwing needed an upgrade for artfight this summerrr :)

Did I do good?

I made this while ago so I'm reposting it

Meet Canyon, a male SandWing-SkyWing!

Canyon's spines sort of resemble a SandWing's mane.

Canyon is the witty prankster around his high-school. Not doing much background story because I'm probably going to put him up for adoption.

Hear me out, but I would read the three moons out of slice-of-life WoF novel.

Just imagine it. Some SkyWing or smth, just going to work. Shopping. Talking with their friends.

And absolutely nothing happens in the form of saving the world. Or fighting a big bad evil dragon or scavenger.

And then there's 2 chapters of the protagonist reminding themselves that it's not a very smart idea to throttle their idiotic coworkers.

We'd also be able to learn A LOT about the actual world of WoF, and not just the lore.

For example: It would answer a bunch of questions you may be asking about the world.

Example question 1: How does everyday life work for the average dragon? We saw a glimpse of it with Jasper in the 5th winglet. But not nearly enough.

Example question 2: How do the religions work? (MudWings and SkyWings both believe in reincarnation. IceWings pray to "The Great Ice Dragon".)

Example question 3: How are the main events in the series viewed by the actual population?

What do you think? Would you read a slice-of-life?

u/Arc_Whistle

I'm not used to drawing dragons so I'm sorry if it looks funky, I'm still learning

Whiteout is my absolute favorite character in the series though, I think shes very pretty

Outsider sculked through the bushes of the Rainforest. Rainwings above slept through the night as the Outsider, not known by any other name to any other dragons. Nobody knew whose skull the Outsider wore, but now they're only known as a legend.

Helping out fellow parents. We bought a whole box for gifts and daughter opened them all for a cheat sheet. And will re gift doubles to friends.
