WOF tribe Merchant/Trading booth concepts:

Hey folks! This one was the recent winner of this WOF poll, so here’s my concept art that headcannons trading in Pyyria.

Read below cut for close-ups of the individual booths + the thought process / headcannons behind the design choices: 👇

Skywings: The Sky Kingdom’s mountain ranges provide plenty of pasture for raising sheep. As such, Skywing shepherds benefit from traveling to sell their wool, dyes, fabric, and woven tapestries. Many of these merchant tables also include herbs grown exclusively in the mountains, or ibex drinking horns that can be strapped on a dragon’s shoulder & carried in flight.

Along with goods, Skywing merchants may offer sewing services to fix tears, burn marks, or other fabric damage. They are sought out for their quality clothing, and most fabric across Pyyria originated from a Skywing’s talons.

Mudwings: Mudwings’ abundant food & cooking skills are envied almost anywhere in Pyrria. Their swamps have fertile soil, responsible for hosting diverse crops which can be purchased as produce at merchant stalls. For those lucky enough to find a traveling Mudwing merchant, the promise of a delicious dish can be whipped up and served at the stall in no time. Along with produce goods, Mudwings sell weaved baskets, spices, and cooking ware.

Sandwings: Sandwing booths offer luxuries of the desert: It’s most common to find accessories such as gold carved jewelry or musical instruments such as drums, lyres, & mandolins for sale. Though, even more sought out across Pyrria is Sandwing tattoos/piercings, which are done within the merchant areas. Ink etchings on papyrus paper are stationed outside their tents to showcase designs. All which can be selected, and poked into the skin with a tapping stick and plant dye ink by a trained talon.

Seawings: SeaWings sell a variety of ocean related goods; taking a share in the fish market with Icewings. Outside of food, there are den decorations like driftwood carvings, accessories such as seashell & pearl jewelry, and rope nets weaved by expert Seawing sailors. Some Seawings even sell fishing equipment, canoes, or offer sailor knot tying instructions to curious dragon buyers.

Nightwings: During the war, it was near impossible to find a Nightwing merchant. Most refused to participate in merchant territory, mostly as a way to keep up with their tribe’s mysterious nature.

Though in the more shady, unground parts of the market you can buy from a huge selection of obsidian weaponry, the sharpest in Pyyria. No one knew initially how Nightwings smithed so many weapons, or why, until their secret volcano kingdom and the intention to invade the rainforest was discovered. Then forging armor & weapons became clear. Along with a vast armory, for the right price, some Nightwing merchants offer Prophecies & Nightwing Literature (not always guaranteed to always be reliable) and assassin services as well (very reliable).

Rainwings: Though Rainwings haven’t been part of Pyyria’s trading for years, they have a vast hold on dragon medicine. An apothecary of herbs, salves, and remedies are all offered for various ailments due to the rainforest’s abundant resources. Along with medicinal goods, many Rainwings are fruit vendors, promising to any hesitant meat-eating dragons that such an array of flavors isn’t to be missed. Though, their fruit selling pitches often fall flat to most other predominantly meat-eating tribes.

Icewings: Icewings have everything a dragon could need to brace the cold, with a selection of goods only found in the most frigid regions of Pyyria. Furs, bone jewelry, and fresh fish (thanks to frost breath) are served on ice. Though Icewings themselves don’t require fur to withstand the cold, it’s considered fashionable and common in upper ranks to wear fur as a status symbol. Since metal is hard to smith without fire & in cold temperatures, fur and bone are more accessible to Icewings for clothing statements.

WOF tribe delicacies / treats concepts:

Hey folks! This one was the recent winner of the WOF poll, so here’s my concept art that headcannons foods each tribe is most recognized for!

We know Dragons can hunt on the go, but a prepped meal shared amongst clawmates is more cherished than picking fur out of your teeth!

Not a ton of lore undercut this time. It was super fun drawing fantasy dishes, as I rarely ever draw food or dishware. It was truly a good challenge in creativity and recounting types of the foods mentioned in the series!

Wings Of Fire - Book One scene

[amonnonza]

Some of you may be aware of this new fad that is going around. The kids refer to these newfangled things as "blooks"; they are kind of like scrolls, but rectangular and heavy.

I'm sure I don't need to tell you that this is dangerous and wrong. I don't know what kind of warped mind looked at something as wonderfully elegant as a scroll and decided to fashion it into an instrument of bludgeoning.

If you see someone who tries to get you hooked on "blooks", you should run away and stay inside for the next three days. They probably drank the Seawing pond water.

I had a bunch of friends twisting my arm and telling me to draw Cricket. All right already, geez, here she is. Hivewings do not have an official graphic novel design yet, so I tried to do some kind of homemade interpretation of what it might look like. It's not the best concept, but for a first attempt it seems adequate.

[amonnonza]

I was messing around with dynamic fightning poses and thought- hey, why don't I come up with designs for dragon weapon, armor, etc., so this is what I got. Been procasinating finishing it after the sketches because I was too distracted playing survival games like Green Hell, The Long Dark, and Subnautica. That should explain where I got the inspiration from. Ooo actually, I also can't deny that wof concept arts by @tobuzzu and @nirvanacuga didn't influence these designs- love both of your works, they're really awesome! :3

Redhawk the SkyWing

This is a birthday gift for my friend Redhawk! Old work from May 2023

back again with some more WoF tribe hcs

SkyWings commonly lack the ability to taste sweet things, part of the population lost the gene after the tribe became mainly carnivorous. This is inspired by real life cats, who lost the gene due to being obligate carnivores.

SandWings and MudWings commonly eat bugs. SandWings will snack on beetles when they find them, and MudWings will pick through a decomposing log like a bear to find tasty grubs. MudWings also commonly break into beehives and use their fire to smoke the bees before taking some honeycomb along with some comb that stores tasty bee larvae.

NightWings had very few bugs on the volcano for obvious reasons, besides like, some cockroaches, so it's very weird when they come into the rainforest and there's Things crawling everywhere.

RainWings and SandWings both have an innate fear of certain bugs, especially spiders. The only reason RainWings avoid eating bugs is because of the abundance of poisonous ones in the forest.

MudWings typically avoid eating alligators or crocodiles because of their similarity to dragons. Sometimes, though, they keep them as pets.

Anacondas found in the rainforest or mud kingdom will not pass up the chance to eat a dragon egg.

Some SeaWings are immune to anemone stings, like clownfish.

RainWings have to suppress their judgments about other tribes based on their coloration, reminding themselves that SkyWings aren't always angry even though they're red and orange, SeaWings aren't always sad or upset, NightWings aren't constantly seething with hatred, etc. It's hard for other tribes to really grasp the connotations that colors have for them; for RainWings, color is essentially their language. Even the color of a gift they are given can have meaning. It can result in misunderstanding with members of tribes without good color differentiation.

It's also difficult for other tribes to learn to read RainWing colors, as one color rarely ever means just one thing, and rarely is a RainWing ever just one color for long. Well, besides Jambu. But he's the weird one.

Most RainWings aren't used to being asked their favorite color. How do you answer that? Your favorite mood? Obviously, most dragons like it when they're happy. So they would usually just pick yellow or pink or light blue.

SandWings really like dark colors. You don't see a lot of those in the desert. Dark greens and purples and blues and reds. Those sort of colors are the ones that queens have their fabric dyed. Luxurious.

Shaded fullbody C0mmissi0n for @romavoid of their character Perrin!!! You can find more info on them here, they're usually always open if anyone is interested.

[Image Description: A digital colored drawing of a hivewing dragon oc named Perrin. He is yellow with a darker orange color that starts from the mid section of his neck, to his shoulders, back, knees and down his tail. It's also on his face as sort of a mask like marking that extends down only to their upper jaw. They have dark green stripes, horns, spines and claws. His underbelly is a light cream yellow color and their four insect like wings are a light cool green. They have a serious expression on their face and they're flying mid air. /.End ID]

Dragonets of Destiny designs! here's a picture with all of them for height comparison

[amonnonza]

Here's my Sandwing design with a few color variations. I know all sandwings are supposed to be pale yellow like sand, but that's boring so I changed the hue on each one a bit.

I've named these three Jackal, Mamba, and Armadillo.

Battlewinner the Nightwing

[Image ID: A digital drawing of a Nightwing dragon named Battlewinner from Wings of Fire. She's sitting in a crater filled with lava, with lava oozing off of her scales like she had just completely submerged herself in it. Her scales are a dark purple color with ripple markings on her body that transition from blue, to red, as if to signify the change in her body temperature. She has an icy blue throat, blue ears eyes and a mouth due to her condition. The stars on her wings are colored red, and her spines on the back of her head that cross through her back are black. She's gruff and mean looking, with a sharp long chin, thick angry eyebrows and cold piercing eyes. /.End ID.]
