Redraw of escaping peril, my favourite book in the series. i was inspired by the Polish Warriors covers with the head at the top and everything going on below.
With is a Leaf/icewing, she’s grumpy and aggressive to anyone who isn’t her father, she breathes a frosty mist which is just as bad as normal frostbreath, she lives with her father out in the tundra of the ice kingdom, they live there in a lodge preferring to stay away from the rest of the population.
Grovestalker (whose name is inspired by a species of drake from my story) is a Leaf/Nightwing, he lives on Pantala with his parents, he spends most of his time, well, staking through the brush with his mother and sketching plants and flowers. He is usually calm but tends to be straightforward which is sometimes intended to be mean.
Trench is a Sea/Nightwing, most dragons are scared of him considering his large stature and odd voice which sounds more like a whisper yet also find him beautiful. But he’s actually really kind and helpful but not a coward, he stands for what he believes in and has a good relationship with both his mother and father, his father, Pleasence, has always encouraged his son to be kind and compassionate towards other dragons, his mother Cascade taught him to never let anyone tell him he’s not loved.
I fantasized a little about what one of the first children of the Clearsight and Sunstrike could be like.
The dragonets are not related to the canonical ones mentioned in the book, here I was just thinking about the design.
Pantala dragons are quite different from Pyrrhyans, and because of this, it seems to me that the first cubs could turn out to be either deformed or with some mutations, defects. I also took into account that the genes in the wof are mainly from the mother, and my own design of beetlewings.
First Dragonet
He is devoid of any abilities, he does not have star scales and antennae have not grown, in the future there will be a very thick horn on his forehead, some scales have not grown evenly and fall off from the general group.
The second Dragonet:
He has grown a second pair of small wings that prevent him from flying, but he is trying to learn. Small wings don't move well. It also turned out to be a dirty color.
And the third one:
He was born under two full moons, but cannot perceive other dragon's thoughts in words, sees only pictures that often confuse him. Mutated horns with growths and too small wings, with large wing elytras, most likely he will not be able to fly. There is a poisonous thorn on the tail.
Those words echoed throughout their brain and Bear's heart stuttered. Was the QUEEN; the big sister of all big sisters, ruler of the entire tribe, offering to take her humble scribe in as an unsib? None of this felt real in the slightest, but Bear didn't want reality to return anytime soon, despite how unreal it felt.
A moment I picture happening with my self-indulgent canon-compliant WoF OC. Yes in my brain, Moorhen took in an enby scribe as her little sibling like "I love this little beast. you're my sibling now :)"
WoF fans just gotta find a balance between "this is a silly whimsical book series for kids" and "this series can be dark and has depth"/"this series can be enjoyed by mature audiences"; idk what to tell them at this point. Because it's both of those things. And that's totally fine. Stop getting offended when people call it a kid's series or annoyed when people analyze its mature themes. Learn to appreciate both sides and you'll have way more fun.
my girlfriend and I saw you from across the ally meeting. we're gonna fucking kill you.
yeah this one was really hard but I learned a lot in the process, esp about colors. notice I completely scrapped that og scarlet design because she was not the right color. also those ages were just an idea, in this pic it's about 5 years before the war began.
