A little tiny microscopic dragon, rotifers passing by.
I've spent a lot of time peering down a microscope in the last few years, enjoying taking inspiration from the real tiny organisms to make one of my own.

sooo uhhh i kinda want to post other stuff on this blog (my own art and more personal/irl stuff) but i was wondering weather i should move the fandom stuff to another blog, or would anyone even mind if i dont and just have everything on this one blog?
teehee
Here it is, the hc tree

I think skywings are soooo overrated and lame and I hate how they are the most popular tribe next to probably NightWings. Skywings just have like nothing going for them! They’re your average western dragon! And I think their lack of uniqueness makes them not fit with the other tribes and makes them feel…odd. I also don’t like when people make them too bird like either, because why would they be covered in feathers when none of the other tribes has a single spec of feathers? They also just feel super out of place in that way.
I also think Night-Ice Hybrids are overdone because of darkstalker 🥀
Granted I’m not super original, Icewings, Sandwings, and Hivewings are my favorites…
.
FINALLY finished these, here you go, properly labeled speculative skull anatomy for all the Wings of Fire tribes, based off of Joy Ang's artwork.
I based the skulls off of early synapsid, allosaurus, crocodillian, giraffe, and canine skulls.
Feel free to reference, trace, use for whatever just credit :pray: let me know what u think
Gloryyyy gloooryyyyyy hi glory
even more
I love drawing whiteout shes so pretty. I feel like she would be fun to hang out with in real life. :]
I admire your dragon work so much! (Both wings of fire and your own ocs!) I think it’s beautiful and amazing the way you add scale texture, and I wanted to ask how you do it! I struggle a lot with it, so it’s super impressive to me :d
Firstly.. tysm 🥹
Secondly it honestly depends on what I’m going for! (Or how lazy im feeling on the rare chance that i decide to do scales)
With the Goldfish Seawing design I made a few months ago, I honestly used the gradients of the base to blend in and out as the colour shifted (basically just colour picking and adding to the gradient to add some funk to the design) shifting the value of the selected colour can also work as seen in the darker patches on the scales
Sometimes I also cheap out a little, using textured brushes that are splattered in shape can make a pseudo scale texture?
Sure I added some minor scale definitions along the neck and torso, but most of this is just a textured brush doing its job! (Another example of just slightly shifting the colours)
(I use this same technique for my oc design Hydrurga)
And the last thing is in the past I’ve used a scale brushpack! They are pretty easy to mess around with and most come with some form of colour variation in the actual pattern
the ones I use are Procreate only I think.. take that with a grain of salt as I cant remember seeing it being advertised for any other program.. but just slap in “ (program) scale brush/pens “ and some should come up.
Example of where Ive used a scale texture brush:
9/10 times I normally just slather a textured brush as a clipping mask over any of my scaled Characters and setting to a different layer property until I stumble across a result I like! Occasionally going in to add minor details if I feel like it
Hopefully this helps somewhat.. it may be a little ramble-y since its currently very early for me..
Best I can say is just trial and error! Find something that comes easy to you!
I would also recommend looking at animals with scales, I primarily look at lizards or fish (animals change depending on the character I’m drawing lol but I think ykwim) and seeing how light reflects off them to make them stand out or how they’re placed or if the colour differentiates from one place to another
which oc do u want drawn....
OH OH COULD YOU DO MY GIRL?
Her name is Maresia, she's a merchant who's used to frequent high society parties and balls
She's one of my favorite adopts, im always head over heels because of her colors :]
@wolfcvnt Hiccup dragon!!!! I love this design so much ahhh. I’m not familiar with Jack Frost (like I know what he’s from but not much more) so I didn’t end up drawing him cuz idk his personality or anything about him lol, but if I ever do watch the guardians(what’s it called???)def draw him
Animation of my oc Diana! She’s the mc of the book I’m writing and I love her so much
Btw If anyone has advice on a better editing app than cap cut please tell me cuz I’ve been using it and it sucks

Trying to see if I can still animate hehhdbsvab
character request? hiccup as a WoF dragon ….
bonus request (bc this is my og OTP/crackship) jack frost as a dragon too, w his bf hiccup (lol)
Sorry for the late response, but I’d love to draw hiccup! I whached the tv show relentlessly as a kid and I always related to him. Im at school rn (sadly) and I have a test tomorrow so I have to study tonight but as soon as I can I’ll draw him!
