I can't express is text how much I like Flawseer's depiction of WoF dragons and art style. I need a scream

Flawseer @flawseer.bsky.social · 12d

I've been asked about what I think of Glory, so I'm doing a little write-up for Tumblr and I made this 2-page comic for it.

The write-up isn't done yet, but I'm showing the comic ahead of time to you, and you alone. It will be our little secret. Shhh...

#WingsOfFire #wofGlory #wofDune #wof #dragon

A comic page showing the Dragonets of Destiny. They are flying around in a spacious cavern while chasing small rabbits. Tsunami is carrying two baskets, Glory is carrying a heavy bag, and Sunny and Clay are carrying a tarp between them. Starflight is sitting on the floor, leaning against a wall.

"That's enough. You caught most of them", calls out Dune, their guardian, who is perching atop a nearby stone platform. "Gather before me, swiftly and silently! Now!"

The Dragonets land and assemble before Dune, who addresses each of them. "I took the liberty of watching you and I will now assess how each of you performed during this hunt. First, Sunny. Your movements were sharp and clear, and you expertly anticipated every move of your prey." Sunny listens intently and seems happy.

"Tsunami. You have good instincts but lack restraint. Half of these carcasses are mince." Tsunami, annoyed, rolls her eyes. "Of course he praises Sunny and chews me out," she says. "I caught twice as many as her."

Dune continues: "Clay. You have the strength but your movements are dull and clumsy. These rabbits ran circles around you." Clay is calm and says "I'm sorry, I just prefer bigger prey."

Moving on to Starflight, who is completely out of breath and bracing himself on Clay's wing, Dune simply says "If I had tears left I would be weeping."

Finally, Dune completes the assessment, passing over Glory entirely and instead telling them to finish eating quickly and go to sleep. When Glory confronts him and asks how she did, Dune says: "Glory? I was preoccupied. I didn't have time to watch you."

Glory looks to the side, looking disappointed but not surprised. Her colors shift into dull browns and sickly greens. "... Right," she says. "Good hunt, everyone."

A comic featuring Glory. She has retreated into a small alcove with two scrolls, rolled up next to her. She is lying against the back wall and covering herself with her wings. The colors are moody, drab, and dark.

Glory looks on silently, seeming like she is lost in thought. After a while of not saying anything, she lowers her head slightly. Her mouth curls into a deep frown and tears begin to well up in her eyes. She is about to start crying.

"No," she says matter-of-factly, catching the tears with her talons before they roll down her face. A hint of a red glow spreads through her scales, replacing the dull dark blue she was earlier.

The last panel is a close up of her eyes, shown very prominently. There is no sadness visible in them anymore, just fierceness, anger, and determination. "You are NOT getting that satisfaction from me!" she declares, balancing the tear she shed on her digit.

Part of a concept for diversifying Animus magic, by giving the various magic users in the story different methods of accessing it.

It helps making magic feel more unique and personal to each dragon.

Part 1: Orca, Turtle, Anemone
#WingsOfFire #wof #wofOrca #wofTurtle #wofAnemone #dragon #wofAnimus

Picture of Orca in front of a half-finished bust and holding a mallet. She is sweating, as if she had just physically exerted herself, and is dabbing her forehead with a rag or towel that she is holding with her wing.

She says: "I don't know who told you I'm an animus. I'm very busy, so if you're just going to waste my time with unsubstantiated gossip, please remove yourself from my workshop."

Picture of Orca in front of a coordinate system. It shows a figure of a dragon, two points in 3D space, a curve between them, and a hammer travelling along the curve.

Orca explains: "Speaking hypothetically, I imagine it's a matter of precision. I would picture the object spatially and visualize its exact flight path. The point where it is, the point where it's going to be, and the vector in between. Then, as I see it moving through 3D space, reality mimics my design. And that is, in theory, how I would move an object with my mind. Now leave me to my work."

Picture of Turtle, looking sheepishly to the side while clasping his hands together in front of him.

He says: "Well, I don't know what the CORRECT way to do it is. For me, I like to think of the thing I'm doing magic on as another being. And the magic is sort of like a language that allows me to talk to it."

Picture of Turtle, holding his hand out as if explaining something.

He says: "I don't know why it just does whatever I tell it to do. Maybe living like that is really lonely, so it is grateful whenever someone talks to it at all? Or maybe it really is just an inanimate object."

He continues: "My way is probably a really stupid way to look at this. Like, 'Look, there goes Turtle who talks to rocks and spoons and all that. But if we can't know for certain, I think it makes sense to be polite, you know?"

Picture of Anemone with her arms stretched into the air and her mouth open as if yelling.

She says: "I'm the Animus, so the magic has to do what I say! It's like a servant who can't keep tabs on me for mother's sake!"

Picture of Anemone looking teasingly at Pike who is off to the side behind her. She is sticking her tongue out and says: "Kind of like Pikey! But more powerful and it doesn't screw up as often."

Pike, who looks absolutely shocked, replies "Y-your highness! Please forgive my inadequacy!!"

TFW you're a dinosaur but they still make you have a job and now there's humiliating down talk (they have no idea how highly capable a microraptor hen with caffeine withdrawal can be at mauling).

A tired, annoyed microraptor demands coffee, prompting a response from an off-camera human; "Sit, then." This prompts an immediate "Fuck you" from the dinosaur.
