SilkWing base! LeafWing is up next

Forgot to mention it in the last post, but you can use these for your own adopts if you want to, or make whatever edits you’d like, I’m cool with it 👍

Like last time, I’ll be auctioning an adopt using these lines in a couple hours

Art Requests: Open!

NOW CLOSED!!

Hi! (:

My ask box is open for anyone who wants to send me their dragon OCs to draw! Please include either a written description or a reference sheet for the character. Aside from selling it, you can use the art for whatever you’d like, with credit.

EDIT: I’m now taking Flight Rising characters as well!

Thank you, and I hope you have a nice day!

Examples of my dragon work:

Seawing/Nightwing Hybrid Adopt (my design)

Seawing/Rainwing Hybrid (for Artfight, not my design)

Rainwing (for Artfight, not my design)

Check my tag “wof request” for other Wings of Fire examples, and, once I have them, “fr request” for Flight Rising characters.

Note: Since this is free, there’s no guarantee it will be a full body or portrait piece; this is mostly to see if I want to start offering dragon art in my commissions.

Hello! I saw you were doing art requests, so here! His name is Pillbug, he's a Silk/Hive and he likes books :]

Fun fact! Pillbug is the first of any Pantala dragons I've drawn! I adore him, thank you @mclemons for submitting him!

Submissions are still open! Here are the guidelines! ID under the cut.

[ID: A bust shot of the character Pillbug, from the tumblr user @/mclemons. He is from the Wings of Fire universe, and a hybrid between a Hivewing and a Silkwing. He is brightly colored, with a yellow and orange underside, with blue scales on his forehead and back. His purple eyes are behind transparent blue glasses, and silver jewelry hangs from his ear, and rings sit on several of his horns. End ID]

SilkWing metamorphosis takes a huge toll on the body. A dragonet has to grow an entire set of wings in only six days—how do they do it? Unlike caterpillars, SilkWings’ bodies don’t change enough to warrant turning into soup. Instead, the body enters a trance state, slowing down most metabolic processes except those needed to grow a pair of wings. Said wings are delicate, supported mostly by cartilage rather than bone. This makes them extra light and agile. A SilkWing’s cocoon regulates the humidity around them, creating an ideal environment for the growing and healing process. It also protects them from temperature fluctuations, lessening strain on the body.

Growing wings also takes energy. LOTS of energy. Prior to Wasp’s reign, SilkWing diets were well studied and pre-metamorphosis “bulking” was common practice. In the month or two leading up to metamorphosis, a SilkWing’s appetite increases tenfold. Communities would host small feasts and “foraging parties” for their dragonets to ensure a healthy transition. Candied nuts, grilled grubs, and pollen cakes were especially popular for their nutritional density. Unfortunately, contemporary medicine was dominated by HiveWings for decades, resulting in the erasure of this knowledge. Hungry SilkWing dragonets were brushed off as “needy” and metamorphosis recovery times increased. Without the energy stores, their bodies broke down essential tissues for energy, leaving many dragonets malnourished and sick after metamorphosing.

With the establishment of the LeafSilk kingdom, things have changed for the better. Cricket and Malachite have organized hundreds of dragons to search the wreckage of the Hives for books, documents, anything that tells the true history of Pantala. The elderly Flamesilks, now free, tell Blue stories from before the tree wars and fret over him like a grandchild. He always returns home well-fed. Mandrake pours over old field guides and maps, working with Sundew to restore the food sources Pantala thrived on all those years ago.

And when Dusky’s wingbuds start to grow, the Flamesilks put every dragon to work gathering food for a grand feast, the first of the Leafsilk kingdom.

Attempted to make a WoF OC

Any tips on improving the design? I feel like the colors clash in some places but I can't figure out what to change. She does not have any lore at the moment. The reason she is not named sunset like the moth she is designed after is because that name was already taken in cannon by one of the skywings killed by albatross. I imagine her having some color changing ability, though maybe only in some spots, and perhaps having silk in some way altered by or infused with the venom (biologically improbable but it would be cool and magic exists in this world so whatever)

So yeah is this design cool, or is it melting out your eyeballs?

Theyre gay your honor [base by jada just found out lmfao]

Crossover (part 2)

As I promised, I can finally post the second season of this crossover (which has been ready for a long time). For those who don't know, I'm making a crossover of the "Transformers: Prime" and "Wings of Fire" book series.

This season includes :

1 Cliffjumper — Rainwing/skywing hybrid. From Skywings Cliff inherited only the color of his scales and his name . He`s not able to exhale fire, but he can spit poison and become completely invisible.

2. Airachnid — Silkwing/Hivewing hybrid. She hit the jackpot: she can both release sticky silk from her wrists and has poisonous glands on her body. Because of the mixed blood, her eyes turned purple without a pupil, which helps her see well in the dark. Rumor has it that she has contacted the Breath of Evil plant, thanks to which she can subdue all Insecticons.

3. Starscream — Icewing/Nightwing hybrid. For the most part, Starscream inherited the genes from Icewings. The pattern under the wings looks more like the aurora borealis than the night sky. His blood is blue. He`s able to exhale fire and tolerate low temperatures. Once he tried to use the Breath of Evil, like Megatron, to subdue other dragons, but he almost became his toy. As a result of the mixed blood, red eyes appeared. Although he was born under the light of the moons, because of the mixed blood, he didn`t receive the gift of Nightwings.

4. Shockwave — Nightwing. Shockwave was once a senator, but after Empurata he lost his eye, the ability to exhale fire and his front paws. He replaced one of them with a sword (which is also a hidden crossbow). Alas, after such a procedure, Shockwave left fighting and politics and decided to pursue science. He is a mind reader and can penetrate other dragon's minds and dreams.

Bonus (OC) My OC Darklight — Rainwing/Nightwing hybrid. For the most part, Darcy inherited the Rainwigs genes, but despite this, she is able to exhale fire, but the color of the scales can practically not change (not at will, usually changes due to emotions or instincts). The pattern on the wings and hood resembles a twilight sky. Due to mixed blood, she received a weak gift of foreseeing the future (mostly in dreams).

Violet — Nightwing. Vio has silver scales in the corners of his eyes, which indicates his ability to read minds. Thanks to this, he can not only hear it, but also communicate using telepathy and penetrate into other draon's dreams (But he doesn`t like to talk about his ability. in vain, unlike you, Darklight!)

Vio belongs to : Violet Star Poses for Starscream and Shockwave were taken from references from the artist Laweema

@can-it-dumbo s oc Bug! I lost the ask for the drawing but here they are!

Dragon

Might turn this silly into an OC

I have ideas.

:3

Smaugust 13

Mantis dragon? Okay, so this was kinda fun and for a first concept idea, not bad. That and mantises have so many bizarre shapes. I think I will be revisiting it at some point. I might also need to work on a larger scale.
