Randomly decided I wanted to draw sheephead because skrunkly skinny dude
Sheephead belongs to @beefscrap
I did a few random doodles with him too, just because I wanted to try and draw his head in a more funky silly way
Tales of magic and the wonderful or horrid things it could do were a prevalent part of Hydros' childhood. From his hatching he'd felt an icy chill in his talons, as though a freezing blizzard lay just beneath the surface of his tough skin. He lived in the very outskirts of the ice kingdom, where snow lay in a blanket on the ground but far from the subzero temperatures residing in the core of the ice kingdom. His parents had thought him sick, for the descriptions of a chilling bite through his talons, at least, until his first spell came.
It was small, an accident, where he'd been playing in the snow with his father and had accidentally nicked his father's talons with his small serrated claws. He had never hurt his parents before, even if it was an accident. Since he had not been taught strictly like the higher circles of the rankings, he had been shaken. His father, kind as he was, had told him not to worry, that if Hydros held his talon in his small ones and chanted "heal the cut nice and quick, the pain will go just as slick," it would heal faster. But when Hydros did as asked, the cut healed and the scales knitted together over it as though it had never been there to begin with.
That was the day his parents had learned he was the first icewing to have animus magic in generations. That day, in order to ensure Hydros was never found out to be an animus to allow him a normal childhood, they taught him of what the magic held and that it could be used for good, but could easily be deadly. They needed to ensure he was aware of how dangerous it was to wield magic, and to never use it unless the situation was dire and as long as it was used only to heal and protect, never to harm another.
Hydros had abided by these rules to ensure he never caused his family pain. They had told him even of what the royal family might do if they found out. In order to keep his peaceful life in the lowest of the circles in the farthest outreaches of the kingdom, he had to keep quiet. He never used his magic, that is, until news of Darkstalker rising up from the earth came. He was only about a year old when it happened, and his small developing mind had made a choice.
'Make myself so that animus magic cannot be used on me.'
If he was safe from magic, then nobody could ever force him to do bad things. Shortly after this spell, his parents got sick with the icewing plague when he did not. That was the third time he used his magic to help his parents. He was so small, barely knowing what he should do, but his parents helped him where they could. The terror of Darkstalker came and went, and Hydros stayed hidden with his family as it blew over.
By the time Hydros was 5 years old, he was picked to go to Jade Mountain. They had already had royals go there before, back when Darkstalker came back, but this year they chose a dragon from out in the outskirts of the ice kingdom. Something about being more inclusive of the parts of the ice kingdom that didn't fit their general mold. Hydros had never imagined he would be picked, but then, he fit the idea perfectly. He had never strived to climb the ranks, preferring to stay where he was. If he stood out too much, they might find out his magic.
His parents saw him off, giving him what he needed, even despite getting what he might need at Jade Mountain Academy itself. The trip took a little longer than he thought it would, but soon enough he was there. His talons landed on the smooth stone, sliding more than intended. He had never stepped on stone before. He straightened himself, tucking his wings in close as his tail flicked across the rock.
He dipped his head lightly in greeting as he was welcomed in, holding the scroll they gave him gingerly. He unfurled it, dipping his snout in close to inspect where he was to go and who he'd room with and what winglet he was assigned to. There were two other dragonets he was housed with: Plateau and Morning Dew. He could only guess which tribes they belonged to.
He looked along the walls, figuring out his way. He was so engrossed in figuring out how to get to the cave he'd be sharing and referencing the scroll that he found himself accidentally bumping into another dragonet, feet stepping over one another and wings jerking as Hydros stumbled to detach him from the obstruction.
He tips his snout down to see the dragonet he'd run into, who stood nearly half his height with bright blue and purple scales, red and orange horns and spikes, and bright yellow ruff and fins. Bright green eyes looked up into his own dark and light blue ones, expression placid towards Hydros. He dips his head further in apology, remembering his manners as quickly as they could come to his mind.
"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was headed."
The dragonet in front of him tilts his head slightly, expression barely shifting. The other's lips twitch, almost like confusion. Though it's hard to tell with the barely shifting expression. Then, with a hum, bright green eyes blink once, then twice.
"It's no issue. Were you headed towards the sleeping caves?"
Hydros had never met a more inexpressive dragon in his life. It was almost like the other didn't feel much emotion, though he shouldn't judge from appearance only. The most the other does is glance in the general direction of the sleeping caves, gesturing where they were. Hydros' tongue feels heavy in his mouth for reasons he couldn't explain, so he nods. He clicks his tongue, bringing himself instead to ask,
"I didn't catch your name."
The other dragonet seems to look at him once over, tilting his head once more. He feels as though the other is deciphering his words deeper than what he means it as. For a moment he wonders if he'll even get an answer, and he's taken aback when eventually an answer comes.
"Morning Dew. Who are you?"
Hydros' eyes glimmer in recognition, his body straightening up into a more proper position. So this is one of his clawmates, and one of the two that he'd be sharing a cave with. It felt meaningful in a way, even though his first impression is that he really doesn't understand this dragon, but still wishes to know. He knew not to expect everyone to be just like himself, but this isn't quite in the range he was expecting. He realizes a little too late that Morning Dew is still staring almost expectantly.
"Oh, right- I'm Hydros, I'm sharing a sleeping cave with you and one other."
He shuffles on his feet while Morning Dew blinks, his ruff opening slightly more than before, ears twitching where they connected to his ruff. Morning Dew suddenly lifts a talon up, surprising Hydros. He freezes, tail jerking in surprise. He lifts his own talon far too quickly to grasp the other's talon in a light shake.
"Nice to meet you."
Morning Dew's words come plainly, and Hydros can't tell if he's uninterested or not. Though he doesn't really mind, not when for the first time his talons feel warm. The biting chill subsides for the first time since his hatching. It's unfamiliar, but he finds he really enjoys warmth more than he thought he ever would.
General Information:
Hydros is the first icewing animus in generations. This is thanks to the distant nightwing in his blood. A few generations ago, one of Whiteout's descendants met an outer circle Icewing and they had a dragonet together. This dragonet would later find another icewing to be with. In the end, since animus magic was able to skip generations, it inevitably led to Hydros.
This is the same timeline as Darkstalker and Moon's prophecy, so the jade winglet exists and they are now older.
Hydros made the enchantment to keep himself safe from animus magic out of fear when the news of Darkstalker spread. He did not enchant his parents because this spell had been with little thought, he just knew he needed to be safe since he also had magic that could be dangerous if used wrong. This means Darkstalker could not summon him like he did with the other existing animus dragons.
Morning Dew's story and appearance are coming up next, and from there on will be the rest of the main dragonets cast.
Decided to hop on into @bogcreacher's "Send em on a date with Red Kite" dytis because I thought it would be super funny with my oc, Aurora.
Aurora was originally me trying to come up with a villain character who is purposely a powerful dragon with animus magic who is also a mind reader and prophet. She's suuuper manipulative and cares about nobody but herself lol. She'll do whatever she can to trick others, so I thought it would be funny for her to do this.
Aurora is an ice/night/rain/sea hybrid btw
Waypoint, the Night/Ice hybrid.
This art is a little bit older, but I wanted to share it because this was another one of my concept ideas about abilities and how it affects them.
In this case, I simply had wanted to draw a piebald Night/Ice but with the basis of a star, both in appearance and ability. However, it evolved more once I came up with the idea of what if there was a nightwing power that had to do with specific directions. Hence came this idea:
Waypoint has the gift of prophecy, however, it is based more on areas in specific. They will have visions about places far away from where they are, rather than what's happening in their vicinity. They are automatically drawn towards these places though, having visions days ahead of getting there. Like a waypoint, a beacon, leading them towards the place their prophecy is about.
I haven't done anything else with them yet, but I may do more in the future. Stay tuned!
Some little WOF art I've done, left is an oc belonging to @/firequeendraws05 on insta, and right is albatross, my little meow meow
More Drawings.
Okay so I have to many dragon oc's, and I just can't stop drawing them each now. So I have put myself to a challenge of drawing at least one oc a day thing. Of course I've been doing more then one away now, but I must do at least one now each day to show you guys just how many I have. Which is too many, I can't remember how many either.
Today I have Frost Tale my Atmosphere Wing 『My fantribe by the way』 and Seabass, my mutated Sea Wing. I've also noticed that my art style changes slightly on how I see them personality wise. Might post more drawings later.
Mud Wings huh, my my. So be it.
Whelp, Mud Wing won the poll, so now I give you guys my Mud Wings up for debate on who of which I draw.
I have Seven Mud Wings oc's to choose from on this poll, as that's all I the Mud's I own. But first, how about I show who is on the poll. Might as well share a snip bit of info on them too.
First up, Mintchocolate the Mud Wing. He is a somewhat anxiety filled dragon, and is always looking around his surroundings as he is scared of the unknown and unpredictable. He is very cautious at what he does and doesn't like going out too much, he likes hanging out with his friends and prefers to be around other dragons at all times as he hates being alone.
Fun fact, Mint Chocolate is an actual type of Mint Vine that grows in more damp shadowy areas, you can actually grow Mint chocolate leaves, I grow some of my own actually.
Second up, Mink the Mud Wing, she is a very well trained medicine maker and grower. She knows what to mix and put together for specific injuries. She is cautious at what she does, but is a true sweetheart by nature, she is calm and well collected. She is slightly shy when doing big hangouts with her friends and family, but always seems to have a good time.
Third up is Log, the Mud Wing, she is a fashion stylist model and is always trying to look her best, she only always uses the best mud for her soaking times. She can get pretty nasty, pretty quickly, she does have good intentions but can easily get distracted by her looks.
Forth up is Moss, the Mud Wing. She is a very kind, and patient soul, she is very coy when it comes down to doing things outside her comfort zone. She usually keeps to herself and does things on her own time.
Fith, Smudge the Mud Wing. He is a complete whimp when doing anything at all, he trys his best but always seems to mess up in the long run. He is a very pessimistic guy and is always worried about anything and everything.
Sixth, Sunstone the Mud Wing. He is a peaceful, joyful and very active one, he loves to hangout in the sun light and play. He is very optimistic and hopeful dragon by nature.
Seventh and last of all, Queen Muskrat of the Mud Wings. She is a very patient and stern soul, she understands her position as Queen. She is well taught and very sturdy when dealing with things. She can be difficult to work with tho as it's hard to convince her if she believes in a different idea or plan.
Quick Post.
Have an art piece of my boy Prim. The Rain+Silk Wing Hybrid. Yes is he/him, and you can ask him questions if you like.
looking at and comparing some of my old wof art with some redraws
first we got a nightwing
As you can probably see, the face is more expressive, and the sketch itself is a lot neater, when I was younger I used to think to make a good difference between wings I had to make them over the top in detail, because I didn’t change the snout shape, also for some reason I didn’t originally draw this nightwing with ears- which is a one off thing, I originally drew moon freckles on the nightwing so I copied that, but I left off the neck scales from the head, I also changed the type of horn, to resonate some headcanons, also the nose is now more like the noses in the graphic novels, the neck position itself is also more haughty and self invested (in my eyes)
Next, sandwing
You can probably see what kind of dragon I like to draw the most, the newer sandwing is more in your face, and the original looked quite derpy, like it was wilted, however the new one has more deliberate scales, more points, and ears designed for the breed, more pointed and slicked back to deflect sand from getting into them, the nose horn is also more like a sky wings than the original. While the sail was more accurate to sand wings in the original I like the newest :]
Next we have a hybrid between the two
This one is like the others, and a full mix between the two wings, it’s more well mixed than the original drawing, having more shaped that match with its parents
so yeah! If you want any of the characters then I can make better drawings of them with colour :3
my half of an art trade with @minttea31 !!
he’s got orange accents, but I’ve done a version with blue instead!
hope you like him!
(blu)
6 pls!! :3
a purple beetle!
((as usual, process vid under the cut))
Eeeeeeee, hello! I saw you were doing requests! This is my boy Argo:
wasn’t sure which colours to use, so i did two versions
his refs mostly look happy, so I drew him happy
(alt version and process vid under the cut)
i'm perpetually fighting boredom, so i'm still taking wof oc headshot ask requests!
also, if anyone wants to send me canon characters or graphic novel pages for me to draw/redraw for fun, please do!
or, well, if anyone is interested in beetlewing designs, i've got some old sketches i'll turn into designs! send in an ask with a number (for headshape) and a palette (and a moodboard, if you'd like) and i'll design it! i can do very simple, or with a bit of design, to somewhat complex; i can also add accessories too, if you'd like.
finished design will be laid out a bit like that post-it. i've not designed anything myself in a couple years, so i have no clue how they'll turn out.
(might end up adding finished examples here, too)
((open again))
Could you draw my guy?
he is very repulsed/hates his silkwing side but he is trying to learn to like it more and just trying to improve in general
he loves to fly and race! He is the most impatient and short tempered dragon you will ever meet but he makes up for it with how fast he can think in the moment and how calm he is under pressure
Thank you! Have fun! And if you want to make this like an art trade or something message me (or if you have an questions)
Hive/Silks are interesting to draw, and Spinner seems to be a pretty neat character
(sketchbook page and speedpaint/process vid below the cut)

i got–and drew–my first wof ocs back in 2022 (i never made any when i first read the books?) and they've been floating around my brain for those two years. anyway, i decided to redo those first drawings i'd done back then
these three were designed by spiderz on flightrising!
I thought I'd try sending a derg headshot request! Never done this before, and I really don't mind if you can't get to this one hehe :)
Here are a digital drawing and traditional drawings of my oc Crimson!
(Pardon my ramble. you can ignore this I just love her lore X3c )
She's an ancient dragon from before the tribes were formed, an ancestor to Skywings and Rainwings (Called Sunclaws). She also happens to be one of the first animus dragons AND is the first firescales ever! (It's a horribly traumatic background lmao. Her dad's a messed up animus guy who would never be the same after her mom died. LOTS of Queen Scarlet-esque terribleness going on here.)
She's finally escaped her father by basically ending herself and because of these shenanigans she has awoken revived in a modern day Mud/Nightwing's head. Free to live how she wants to, she's now got nothing but a dissociative mental illness, this kid's weird powers, and a dream! Lol
Crimson! also, passionate rambles about characters are great!
i had a bit of trouble replicating that firescales glow, but i hope what i went with to portray it looks alright.
sketchbook page and process vid under the cut (process vid may a bit jumpy and flashy)
Hello Chaossandwich! Can you please draw my sona? Here are some pictures/ references!
Earliest concept: early June
Another drawing from late June.
This one is from early august.
Information: Their name is Hornet. They are a Rain+ Hive hybrid. Their gender is nonbinary. Background: They were born into a noble status. However, their parents died when they were young. They studied in one of the top schools in Pantala and eventually became one of the best toxicologists in both Pyrrhia and Pantala. They assist in assasinations , most resulting in death of the victim.
Appearance: Large size. Legs are quite lengthy. Body covered with shiny metallic scales. Unlike Hivewings, Hornet has stripes not spots. Their spikes are long and sharp.
Abilities: Smooth armor is able to reflect or provide protection towards projectiles and knives etc, making Hornet quite durable. Their unusually large fangs located near the back of their mouth is the place where venom is injected, causing quite some damage to the target but it is still hard to get a good bite for the venom in the fangs to do its job. Hornet possesses ( wut are those called) those claw like spikes that can protrude through Hivewing’s wrists, which are fairly big and are curved. The venom that Hornet injects from their wrists thingy and fangs are a mixture of Hivewing and Rainwing venom. Venom properties: green in appearance. Can appear as green ‘smoke’ as they can ‘leak’ from Hornets poison glands. Although venom is not really as deadly as rain wing venom, Hornet’s venom can apparently be released as high temperatures, thus burning the victim’s flesh and causing extensive damage. The venom also can cause quite a lot of pain. Hornet also has a tail stinger which injects the same venom( yaaayyyy this is getting repetitive)
Notes*: you may change some of their lore but not that much. You may simplify their designs a little or alot what ever you chose! If you don’t want to draw my sona, it’s fine. Thank you!

wow, Hornet is pretty complex, but that was fun! have a lovely day!
under the cut is some more headshots for fun, the sketchbook pages for those, and a process vid (which can be a little jumpy and flashy)
