StarClan Heresy

Sheb | He/They | 29 | Deceased (Verified StarClan Hater). Xenoficfion enthusiast. I made that Warriors design meme a few years ago. This is just my reading Tumblr now, art occasionally.

Still chipping away at a Tsunami design I’m happy with. And her boyfriend’s here, too (and a smaller, earlier conceptual version of him). They’re a little too similar looking for my liking, so I’ll probably revisit Riptide and sharpen him up. I had another design for him I had forgotten about so I’ll probably merge the two.

Trying to lean into the “flowy” design motif for Tsunami, so her linework is supposed to be swept back and smooth. Riptide is supposed to have more of a jagged feel (riptide just feels like a jagged word to me), but he still has some friendly roundness to him. In the future, I want to make his horns sharper and his ‘hair’ a little more loose and playful looking. Yes, I did give him a little eyebrow notch.

I think Tui would write much better queer romance if she treated them like threats straight ships, it feels like she tries too hard to make good representation she forgets she also has to write a compelling romance.

Tho thats kinda to be expected since WoF is a children's book series so romance isn't the focus but still, make the ship a less prominent aspect of the books then, you csn have a gay romance with good rep while focusing more on other plot aspects.

I agree somewhat and wanna add to it a little if you'll allow me.

Blue and Cricket are ALSO poorly written and rushed as a straight pair and I think it's because Sutherland wants the romance to move forward all in one book. That's irritating!

Both The Lost Continent and The Hybrid Prince would be pretty much the same if the romance wasn't there, but because it is we have to screech to a halt several times in both books to have awkward "oh man I hope they like me" bits.

Just!! Let the relationship occur naturally over the arc! Sutherland's done it before! Granted, I don't like the Moon/Qibli/Winter love triangle either, but at least it occurred throughout Arc 2.

I don't think Sutherland is doing lazy rep for rep's sake, I think she just sucks at establishing romance and does better when the courting phase happens offscreen, like with Willow and Sundew.

Diversity win! Both the queer AND straight couples in Wings of Fire are boring!

Okay, question:

Do you guys know if nose rings/nose chains are fine to use in WoF designs?

I've been reading about them just to be sure and I worry if just not using the design motifs in the piercings are enough. It reminds me of how Social Repose has been criticized for wearing a feather war bonnet and how he defends it by saying none of the designs on it have culture significance. I don't want to do what he does, basically.

Whenever I draw Blaze, I want to give her a nose-to-ear chain. Usually that's a symbol of marriage in the cultures that piericing is in, but idk if it's still appropriation if I don't use it for that? I dunno, I'm not really sure who to ask or where to start.

“you’re only saying sunny’s aroace because she’s cute and innocent!”

no i’m saying she’s aroace because she’s never had a single crush and the only dragon who confessed to her got turned down

I feel like WoF fans are scared to use African influences when drawing Pantallian dragons.

Finished The Hybrid Prince.

I've drawn Umber and Sora before and here they are again! Nothing's really changed, but I did decide while drawing that bigwings have a ridge along their spine.

Spoilerinos under the cut

The moment I realized the Dungeon Isle was based off Australia, Mulberry became a beach blonde surfer boy in my head. He's got wild spikey leaf hair and rough scales because I say so. Dunno if Snakeroot comes from the PoisonWings or Sapwings, so I leaned more on PoisonWing genes because it looks cool.

Quokka is specifically described as having a SandWing-like nose so I decided she carries more SandWing genes than Platypus, who resembles a RainWing more. Both of them are based lightly off Thorny Devil lizards.
