How to Spot a Dragon Before it Spots You!
(Written by a human for humans in the Wings of fire universe).
Transcriptions of my chicken scratch and closeups of each tribe will come soon!
Otherwise, next week I begin Overcomplicating the Pantala tribes. See you then!
I was inspired by a bird of prey identification poster at my sister's school. It had a very similar layout. I really loved the coloured poses and the multiple silhouettes and thought it would work so well for the Wings of Fire dragons. I'd seen another artist experiment with their wings shapes and wanted to give it a try myself. This is the result! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
All the designs you see here are not final - I drew these without properly planning their full bodies, but the final versions I will try to keep as similar as possible. The only change I might make is the position of their wings. I also won't go back and change this because it doesn't need it. They look good enough like this and, who knows, the changes I make might not be enough that the final designs would be any different. I will be doing a lot of muscle and skeletal anatomy, possibly written in the perspective of a NightWing since they seem like the type to explore the insides of a dragon for science.
This, however, is written in the perspective of a very lucky human who saw these dragons and lived to tell the tale. Or maybe it was a collaborative effort between multiple people adding their own wisdoms, like the Dragon Manual in HTTYD 1. I haven't read Dragonslayer but I think they refer to the dragons as '[element] dragon' (not [Element]Wing at least). I also think that they're not sure RainWings exist (at least according to the 'Here Be Dragons?' over the rainforest, but I didn't want to exclude them from this piece).
The main purpose this guide would serve in-universe would be to help humans identify dragons, preferably before ever being seen. That's why I used a lot of auditory and movement descriptions unique to each tribe, ways that a person could identify a dragon without needing to be close.
I'll be splitting the closeups into 3 and 4 tribes each following this post so you're not scrolling for 10 years (you still will be but I'll try to keep it brief. Will I succeed? No!
Stay tuned next week for the beginning of Overcomplicating the Pantalan Tribes: SilkWings!!!
Kingdom of the Sea Headcanons Part 1/???
The closer the island is to one of the palaces the more rich or high class the dragons living there are.
The most important rich dragons and nobles who don't live in the palace live on the cluster of 5 islands near the palace in the region known as ''The Tail Tip''
While poorer/low class dragons live on the long island that's connected to the Mud Kingdom and the islands facing the Sky and Mud kingdom. Those parts of the kingdom are seen as dangerous and prone to invasion and destruction during war times and unfit for the higher class
There are a few underwater villages sprinkled in the kingdom they exist in-between the islands and inside or outside the peninsula. For some dragons living on land is a privilege due to high taxes ordered by the crown. If one island displeases the queen this is one way she can punish them.
Each Island is ruled and monitored by a Noble or Member of the royal family of the queens choice usually there with a group of guards to enforce laws and orders. They live in large mansions nicknamed "mini palaces"
Coral's scrolls are hated by teachers, students and parents alike as they are expensive and have no academic value whatsoever. She is not popular amongst, the more low class dragons, the worship from dragons working directly for her comes out of fear rather than respect, it's quite hard to talk shit about a queen when she is right next door with executioners.
Only a few dragons knew of the location of the summer palace giving the information to the whole tribe would lead to traitors selling such information to their enemies. Only the dragons living and working there knew it's location and we're all under orders to tell no one
Many Seawings dragons nearest to the Mud and Sky kingdoms working as merchants. Others work in pearl fishing and boat making as boats will become important from dragons traveling too and from Pantala. Others hunt for rarer more expensive fish to sell as food to the higher classes.
The Sea kingdom didn't have scrolls untill Whirlpool's invention of waterproof ink so most stories and laws were told by mouth or aquatic.
There are military outposts on the islands closer to Prryhia.
Graveyards are all underwater to save to little land they have.
Weddings are done in beautiful Coral Reefs with rings carved from large pearls that go on the horns rather than the finger.
Fun fact the outer islands in the sea kingdom are known as the Outer Isles thank you guidebook
Love this but Fin isn't in Turtle's clutch as he is older then them
Congrats on turtle for being the first WoF character for me to draw twice specifically for posting
Not entirely sure about this one. I really like the lineart and the designs themselves are okay but I feel like I could have done something more different for the rendering.
Anyways here’s some stuff about these goobers
-Octopus is the “bigwings” (even though Seawings technically do not have bigwings) of the clutch, and typically the leader of the gang with his size and smarts
-Studies architecture, also likes puzzles a lot
-All tribes have some ability to change colors (though, Rainwings are by far the best). Octopus has an unusually high amount of scales that can change color for a Seawing (e.g, he can change his patterns up or change the overall tint of his scales).
-Cerulean enjoys making pottery (an art form not traditionally pursued by Seawings) and, unusually for a Seawing, prefers being on dry land rather than in the water.
-Has a Sandwing BF who was a POW from Burn’s army but is now free. They use there fire breath as kiln for his pottery.
-Fin is the “runt” of the clutch. He is so small that he is often mistaken for being a member of a younger clutch, even by his own mother.
-He has a lot of spunk and sass to him; like a less annoying Qibil. His brothers would always pick on him for being small when he was younger, but he gave that attitude right back.
Agreed but it's mostly just people generating names in game so they r going to use the same names.
please please PLEASE just go to the wings of fire naming wiki for dragon city names or oc names. no it is not for 'uncreative' people. yes it is fandom and that sucks. but is it useful? yeah. will I go to hell just for saying to go there? no. if I see one more atlas in wof Roblox I'm actually going to commit atrocities

Hi ! I’m an artist and writer and I will mostly post fanarts or ramble about stuff I like here ‼️
These are the fandoms I take drawing requests on from now : TMC, Marble hornets, Creepypasta, SCP, Pokémon, Ace attorney, The Stanley Parable, Persona5, Genshin impact, Cookie run, The folk of the air, The song of Achilles, Warriors, WOF, The Simon snow trilogy, ghost, music stuff, anything Hannibal related, TMA, TMAGP, The bright sessions, Malevolent, Gravity falls, The Magnus archives and Percy Jackson
I only do humanised versions for Warriors and WOF characters btw (I don’t really draw furry or animals) (about warriors, since in my country all the books aren’t translated and because the names are all over the place every time I only read it in my language so no spoil about what happens after the first book of omen of stars or I will kill your family and friends./j
Oh and I love to talk about stuff so you can also just ask random things about mostly fiction, books, fandoms, or pretty much anything as long as it’s not too personal :)
