Skywing Gladiator Helmet concepts: Part 1

Part 2 ⬅️ more designs

To me, the Skywing arena was the most memorable parts of the first book, and I liked the idea of Scarlet having consistent champions outside of prisoners, like Peril, that were used as actual fighters. Similar to the Roman colosseum’s style of fighting.

With how extravagant Scarlet’s punishments, hatching day, etc. are described, (she loves her bloody entertainment & fan fair). There’s no way she’d allow for her champions to go undecorated in the arena. Additionally, Skywings are implied to be the most battle experienced tribe, so they should have armor that reflects this sentiment.

Aside from the lore drop, I absolutely love rendering metal & armor, this was just an excuse for me to do that lol. It’s very interesting trying to fit helmets to dragon anatomy opposed to human anatomy. Gotta accommodate for horns, ears, and the snout. Really cool learning how to work around it!

Skywing average measurements/head base for helmets:

[ID: Two Wings of Fire dragons, Peril the SkyWing and Turtle the SeaWing. They are both sitting together on a blue background. Peril is bright orange with a yellow belly and softly glows yellow. She is looking over her shoulder to look quizzically at Turtle who is sitting to her right holding a marshmallow roasting stick near her back with a look of concentration on his face. His tongue is sticking out as he says 'Ok, this time it will work for sure!' On the ground below his feet are several burnt marshmallows smoking. Turtle is short, seaweed green with yellow accents, and plump. He wears a gold armband with sky fire on his right shoulder and a blue jade turtle earring on his left ear. /End]

Guess who finished a test and then finished this? Yep this guy did. A bit later than I wanted. But my favorite friendship is Turtle and Peril. Tall, awkward, lanky, terrifying trans lady befriends small, chubby, anxious, fish-smelling wizard child to go on a quest. I just love their interactions. And the fact that Turtle canonically has scales that are strong as diamonds/indestructible, that means they can give each other hugs. They definitely stay friends after the ends of the books. Maybe Turtle even helps her write scrolls about firescales so other firescale dragons have stories and experiences to draw from (Ruby totally makes it illegal to murder children based on a disability/gene mutation so there are going to be more mini Peril's running around and they deserve to have stories they can relate to).

I am trying to push my shapes a bit more. So lanky Peril and chubby Turtle. He's nice and round and she's a bit more pointy. I also switched up my Peril design a bit. Turtle is the same because I low key really like my design for him. But I saw a really cool theory about how Turtle should be Anemone's colors because he's the animus. So I might have to do a drawing of that. And maybe Anemone was 'standard' colors until she was cursed by Turtle. And then the magic starts forcibly changing her colors and pushing the other colors out.

Sorry for like barely posting art anymore LOL heres a couple old-ish sketchy concepts for dragon thrones. i feel like regular seats would be extremely uncomfortable so I wanted something that a dragon queen could stretch out and loom over everybody else in

Scarlet is accidentally way too big in this drawing lol shed be like half the size in-canon

The skywing throne is probably marble with gold veins and idfk what the seawing throne is made of. The color makes me thing glass but thatd be way too fragile. maybe it was carved/shaped by an animus to be extra resilient?

An experimental Kestrel design, wasn't originally supposed to be her but that's just what it morphed into lol.

Skywing Gladiator Helmets Part 2:

Part 1 + Lore behind these helmets, and why Skywings incorporated them in the arena!

Had way too much fun with the first batch of Skywing helmets, so now we have a baker’s dozen of them! Love drawing armor, even tricky ones like these guys are.

So here's a drawing in my sona, Autumn (third dragon starting from the left) and his family, made that for Christmas

From the journals of the late Prince Absolver:

I can now say with utmost certainty that a firescales's inner blaze gives their scales that blistering brightness. Witnessing Jailbirds physical degradation over the ten years of having her is more than enough proof that the inner blaze is linked to not only appearance but general health and wellbeing: The worse the dragons health and wellbeing is, the weaker their temperature. (And the duller their appearance, and so forth) To corroborate above points refer to smelting records and compare the melting times of ten tons of iron from 4562 PS to 4572 PS. She no longer even turns to look at me

The current location of this firescales is unknown
