#1 - "From a Book"

Smaugust 2024

This one is almost a freebie, considering they're all from books in one way or another. I went in this direction instead. Existential book club.

I wanted to draw a hallway in the back with flames coming out of it, to make some kind of reference to Peril, but the time I allotted myself for this drawing really ran away from me and I couldn't fit it in. Really had to simplify the initial concept. I hope it still looks good.

Don't know how many of these days I will do. I don't think all of them will have 5 characters in them. We will see.

Stay away from the blooks!

The Jade Winglet

you are welcome to use my designs as long as you credit me :)

design notes:

Moon is a dark almost greenish black color, and has a silver almost diamond shape on her nose and chest. Hatching under two full moons, she has a teardrop on the back corners of her eyes as a mark of her mind reading abilities, and a smaller front teardrop as a mark of a seer. She is remarkably large for her age, a trait she got from her father, but is still one of the smaller members of her winglet.

Not much about Winter's design. He is stocky, has clusters of darker scales on his face, a darker nose, and is remarkably shiny even by IceWing standards. He continues to wear the earring from Qibli, claiming he doesn't trust Darkstalker's magic to be entirely gone without it, when in reality he secretly likes the connection to Qibli and his winglet.

Peril is very large for a SkyWing, and is the tallest of the winglet. Shes very muscular and her scales are abnormally bright and shiny in comparison to the other tribes. She is almost iredescent in the sun and practically glows. She has VERY large, unblinking eyes that are a startling shade of blue (an eye color already uncommon in the Sky Kingdom) and is known for intensely staring people down without meaning to do so. Despite being firescales she is covered in small scars from brief nicks in battle before her opponents perished.

Turtle is very short and stocky in build, and is the shortest of the winglet as he carries himself very low to the ground. Hes very freckled and alongside the golden armband he wears gold stud earrings. His horns are twisted and almost silvery, a trait he shares with every animus dragon. He bares a striking resemblance to his ancestor Fathom, however he is shorter and stockier than he was.

Qibli is lanky and awkward in appearance, with long legs and a thin, gangly body. He is unkempt in appearence, with crooked teeth and freckles and scars covering his body from his rough up bringing in The Scorpion Den (the scar from Cobra being the two slashes on the front of his nose) and is surprisingly tall, taller even than Winter, but because of their differences in posture (Winter's being perfect to a T and making himself appear much larger than he is and Qibli's being nonexistent) he appears much smaller than he really is. Like all SandWing’s, he has a darker patch under his eyes to help with seeing in intense sunlight.

Umber looks very similar to Clay in appearance, with hazel eyes and warm scales. Unlike Clay, Umber is significantly smaller and thinner in frame and is covered in large freckles. He has a lighter patch on his chest, his ears are long and hang down, he has a long scar on his snout and neck, and his right horn has a blunted tip from the battles he fought in the war.

Like Umber Carnelian shares many scars from the battles she fought in the war, most notably being the chunk missing from her left ear and the several long slashes across her face. I like to think that had Carnelian lived longer and Umber remained in the winglet the two of them would’ve become close friends, and eventually Carnelian would’ve become protective of the other dragonets in her winglet.

I struggled getting Kinkajou’s colors right; i wanted to make her bright and include her iconic pink/yellow scales, but i wanted to make her less neon and have more believable tones down hues. I also wanted to include some orange and reds to show her more fiery side.

our kibble

tried to make a design for him lol, I'm imagined him more neutral tones but I like drawing colours lmao

[korbywo]

"Then I could change the world. I could fix so many things, if only I had anything special or magic about me."

i've always liked qibli's inner conflict about how others were "special" and how he felt that he couldn't compare

do you think qibli should've become an animus?

Tamerin the Rainwing

(Based on golden lion headed tamerins, hyacinth macaws and vaporeon)

[Image Description: A digital drawing of a blue rainwing dragon named Tamerin. She's short and youthful, with a small snout and little fangs poking out. Her frills are large and she has an extra one all around her neck similar to vaporeon's from pokemon. They have a gradient of oranges and yellows, as well as her wings. She has a yellow mask, underbelly, legs and tail. Her horns and talons are a dark purple, with her horns curving downward. She has scars on her wings, shoulders and stomach. She has light blue blind eyes. She's sitting with her back turned to the viewer, peering over her shoulder with a soft and gentle look on her face. /.End ID]

My jade winglet human designs!!

(Reblogs are appreciated!!)

Kinkajou and moon full illustrations

Some fun elements i put in there I put moon in more tropical clothes because she grew up in the rainforest kinkajou has scars from the nightwings qibli wears one of winter’s scarves. winter has LOTS of furs and jewels Perils armor has an engraved S for scarlet, its impossible to get off (dont worry about how she can even wear clothes with firescales its animus enchanted or something). Turtles pouch on his neck resembles a seashell. Peril is absolutely jacked (i couldnt do her justice in the art but shes so muscular trust me) Winter’s pet bandit is an unusually small dragonet Qibli’s pants are hand me downs from his siblings (they are barely wearable anymore). You cant see it but kinkajou is barefoot (shes a freak like that). Moon and kinkajou have matching flowers. Winter wears a desert fox’s fur on his coat (gift of qibli)

Im so normal about them (lie)

I think it would be wholesome if sometimes Sunny spends the night with Stonemover after a long day at jma.

Sandwing headcannons!

• Sandwing accent is really similar to an Australian accent. I guarantee most non-Australians will get the accent wrong.

•They wear little garments on their tails during busy social gatherings and get them for dragonets that haven’t been tail trained yet. They call them tail chains.

• A common way to symbolise sandwings is a little emblem with a raised tail between two outstretched wings.

• After the War of SandWing Succession, they hold a yearly festival at Jade Mountain Academy, since it’s the only place that no tribe owns. They call it a few different names, e.g. The Comet Festival, The Dragonbite Festival, but most of them like to call it the Sunny festival, since she finished the war.

• Little capsule necklaces of sand and water, symbolising an oasis, are worn as good luck charms.

• They LOVE to make jewellery, especially for festivals. Around the time of the Dragonbite Festival, they make little bracelets, earrings, necklaces and tail chains, with little comets on them, some have a Dragonbite viper interacting with the comet in some way, and some just have the Dragonbite Viper coiled up.

•Stonemover always chills with timid dragons who are avoiding crowds, and Sunny added cushions for them all to vibe with him and encourage them to chat with him

Feel free to put any of these ideas into art! If you do, please tag me!

Tsunami the Seawing (Revisited)

Been over a year since I started this blog and there are some designs I want to freshen up a little bit so here's a bit of a new design for Tsunami!

[Image Description: A digital drawing depicting Tsunami from Wings of Fire. She is a blue slightly muscular seawing dragon with a light sky blue underbelly and a deep blue neck, nose bridge and forehead. She has swept back curled lighter blue webby fin that goes from her forehead to her tail, they resemble slightly like tidal waves. She has similar webby fins on her chest, a tail fin, and ears that are similar to fish fins. Her offwhite bioluminescent scales are shaped like wave markings and teardrops and they're notably on her shoulders knees tummy, tail and brow. She also has swirl bioluminescent markings on her fin like wings to signify she is of seawing royalty. On her chin, she has two long barbels similar to her father's and then two more barbels that are similar to a shark's pectoral fin. She also have shark like fins on her elbows and on the bottom part of her tail. She has a little bit of yellow on the side of her belly, on her upper eyelids and on her esca. Her horns are a deep dark blue that resemble the tip of a conch shell. Her left eyebrow has a scar that runs vertically through it and her eyes are green. She is standing giving a toothy smile. In the second image she's shown to be wearing a purple pearl necklace, and two fin rings on her tail fin. /.End ID]
