Some pride art with a Sona of mine

So heres the main gal of this medieval fantasy world Vanya. Vanya is a sorceress on a rite of passage journey. She finished her training with a master sorceress and is now only one step away from being a full soceress. Her journey is all about finding a gem for her staff.

This gem will come from a dragon. This gem represents the dragon handing over a piece of themselves connecting the two in a way. This gem is sorta like a highschool diploma for socerers/ess's.

each sorcerer and sorceress has their own designated dragon. more powerful people go for the top dogs first while weaker ones are encourged to seek out more lesser known dragons. this is due to dragons liking to boast about their magical peoples so they tend to look for more stronger sorcerers and sorceresses. Though their are rogue sorcerers and sorceresses who skip this entirely.

anyway! back to vanya.

Vanya has a large birthmark on her cheek and face which she likes due to it sorta looking like a heart. Vanya comes from a farming family.\ so shes got decent knowledge in herbs and plants. on the topic of knowledge, Vanya iss quite smart...bookwise. when it comes to social skills and anything really having to do with the great wide world she is un educated in. so this journey is gonna be a bit of shock and scary. so she might need to find some friends and maybe a ride since walking probably isnt the best.

she has some tattoos of moon glyphs (made by revarick) these tattoos are here to remind her of the cycle of life and death.

hope you like Vanya!

Honestly though it would be cool if scavengers were like wof's Bigfoot. No one has exactly seen them but dragons claim to have caught sightings. Claims of what they look like range. "I saw a big fuzzy one in the mountains!" "No I saw one and it was lanky with sharp claws!"

Humans in wof feel similar to when a horror movie shows you its monster too early. You often loose all suspense, fear, and mystery when that happens. Like it went from "omg did humans really take down a dragon queen? How?" to just "Oh.. ok I guess they did..and theyre just plain ol humans." If they were kept a bit more mysterious they probably could have meshed with the story better. cause really imagine if it was a dragonbite viper that killed oasis but due to the mystery around humans a rumor was started it was a scavenger.

Overall humans are an awkward fit in wof cause I dont think it was decided on whether they were harmless small creatures or powerful dragonslayers (lol) when it probably would have been better to lean into one or the other instead of keeping a middle ground. like I get there is some plot around that but it just doesnt feel like it works in this setting.

the series would have been better if scavengers were never there. imagine how cool it wouldve been if oasis died to a dragonbite viper, and burn died in the exact same way her mother did

comms + adopt

Sadly I haven't been doing too many big pieces as I've been focusing on college and comms. Yet I've been making plenty of dragons

First 2 and last nightwing are customs. While the seal seawing is an adopt (which is currently still open, if interested I'll link ya to the toyhouse profile)

Overall tho it's been nice to make dragons among the Adobe animate work... ie bouncing marbles

...american roleplaying game??

YES ‼️ RAHHHHHHH 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

(But fr no it's Art role play game ^^ sorry couldnt tell if this was joking or not)

oc intro

week has started off rough cause I got bit by a dog and my leg now hurts and has a nasty bruise 💔 so why not chat about some of my wof ocs. Fair warning there will be alot of older art 💀 prepare

princess jojoba, sandwing, she/her

Jojoba I'd one of many siblings and in no way near the throne, thus she is carefree. She's also mama's favorite and they spend time together often. when not with her mother she is off watching races across the dunes and trading within markets. While Jojoba is outgoing and joyful she is haunted by the fact one of her sisters will kill their mother for the throne. She doesn't want to loose her mother and she knows she'll never very whoever does it the same.

art status: oldish ref needs redone

Forestfire, skywing, he/him

Forestfire is a rather large firescales skywing. When he was born rumors and fear spread quickly. His parents paid an animus to make a rope, unable to be burned or broken, and tied it around their sons jaws to keep him from using his fire. They thought if he never used fire that the internal flame would just burn out and he'd become "normal". The rope did the opposite causing his flames to burn stronger and break through his scales to find some relief. The poor boy was then banished into the mountain and locked up for good. Forestfire now waits within the mountain growing angrier by the day waiting for a group of pseudo prophecy dragonets to stumble their way in and release him.

Art status: old ref, needs redo and will probably be removing the front horn it's a bit too hivewing

BASE: Joy ang lines from the book

Fossil, mudwing, he/him

Fossil is a lost mudwing trying to find his family. He doesn't remember them but just has that gut feeling something is wrong. He is well liked within the mudwing villages and he drifts from troop to troop, feeling loved but not exactly fitting in

Art status: needs drawn ref

Wolfsbane, leafwing, he/him

A hired hand, will do anything for money kinda guy. He looks pretty intimidating so he hasn't really had to get violent on many of his jobs. Thinking of sticking this guy into my other mind au story

Art status: old-ish art, would like to give new ref but doesn't not need one immediately

Queen Sonne and Queen sunset, skywing and silkwing, both she/her

Two queens I made for an rp a long time ago that sadly didn't work out. They do have full refs but they are on bases rn and need redone.

Queen sonne of the skywings is an older more serious queen, she is known for being harsh and no nonsense.

Queen sunset of the silkwings is a very young queen. She was her mothers only daughter and her mother sadly passed early. Sunset is under constant pressure from a group of nobles each trying to dictate laws to their own interest. Sunset is currently trying to find her voice and looks up to queen Sonne a lot.

So there's a handful of my own ocs ❤️ some need to to be reworked and refs re drawn but I still love them

More dragon stuff

ngl I have no recolection of what pieces ive already posted. so if i pust something I already posted, im sorry lol.

anyway more dragon stuff, lifes been stressful and dragons are a comfort for me.

As you can see I really like brighter colors.^^

Creepy cat

your art is so beautiful, and I’m loving your fanseries so far!!! do you have any tutorials on how you draw your dragon wings? (specifically in more dynamic poses or when they’re folded in) keep up the amazing work! :D

Tysm!! im glad your enjoying!!

I need to preface this by saying I often stumble through drawing wings so I had a bit of a harder time describing how I draw them. As well as the fact that there isnt really any wrong way to draw wings given how much variation you can given them in fantasy. Still though I hope I can offer some tips

Biggest tip is to get the arm down. pretty much any flying animal has this arm of sorts. I find laying down the shape of it really helps shape the rest of the wing. I added the most basic 3 lines I use in the step by step. (Sometimes I use my own hand to imagine where the "fingers" of the wing go, cause you cant always find that just right reference with birds or bats. Imagine if you taped long straws to your fingers then draped a blanket across your shoulders.)

2nd tip is with folded wings. Often if your characters wings are folded in they arent the focus of the piece, so dont put too much detail in those folded wings. Draw em and leave em. Its super easy to wanna put detail everywhere but sometimes less is better. But of course you can always add detail and my biggest tip if you wanna add detail is remember the folds. a closed wing will often have a scrunched up look.

And of course my final tip is reference and practice. Reference wise id suggest birds, bats, and pterosaurs (as much as you can from an extinct creature lol) There is also plenty of dragon wing tutorials out there that get more specific.

Your also free to trace over my work for practice as long as its not posted publicly, tho I highly recommend not just doing that. Its important to experiment and find your own style n' method. its also a bit better to understand what your drawing more than just knowing muscle memory movements (ex. understanding how the arm of a wing works can help you to need less references as youd know how to postion the webbing, folds, fingers, etc) Tracing wise your most helpful resource is bats.

Apologies if i was all over the place but hope this helps some!
