"Son of the Year"

This is a skit I wrote a while ago; a hypothetical conversation between Turtle and Umber had the latter never left the academy abruptly.

The format was written for a blog and doesn't translate well to bsky. I tried my best to convert it anyway.

#WingsOfFire #wof #dragon
Umber the Mudwing and Turtle the Seawing are inside their sleeping cave. Umber is lying on his back on a bed-like stone platform while reading a scroll overhead. It is rolled out and sprawling all over his belly and spilling onto the floor. Turtle is a few paces away, lying on his stomach and writing on something. An abacus sits next to him, implying he is doing math. Text: (Sounds of scroll rustling and pen scratching) TURTLE: ... The same scene as before, except Turtle turns away and starts speaking. Umber, letting his scroll rest on his chest, listens intently. Text: TURTLE: ... So, the Sea Queen hugged me the other day. UMBER: Oh? Your moms? When was that? TURTLE: While the whole Darkstalker kerfuffle happened. I returned home for a bit and she, well, she gave me a hug. For the first time... ever. A close up of Turtle scratching his neck and fidgeting with his hands. Umber can be seen looking at him from behind him. Text: UMBER: That's a big deal, isn't it? You mentioned she's not much of a huggy one? TURTLE: Oh, no no, she is plenty affectionate with Anemone and Auklet. It depends on whether you were born, uh, well, "the way she wants". UMBER: Ah, I'm sorry. Still, she did it, right? How did it make you feel? TURTLE: Oh, good. It was… nice. ... A shot showing Umber now lying on his stomach and having put the scroll away entirely, fully focused on the conversation. A close-up of Turtle's uncertain face is in the foreground. Text: UMBER: I noticed you called her "the Sea Queen", when before you would always call her "mother"? TURTLE: Well, you know… I, uh… It, put some things into perspective for me. (sighs) That kind of tender moment... I've been waiting for it all of my life. It was really nice when she finally went and noticed me; called me by my name even. I'm happy that she did; I can maybe finally start to move on from some things that have been weighing on me. But it's weird. I've spent so long waiting, and hoping, and wanting. Now that it happened I kind of realized… I don't really know her? I know Anemone, I know Auklet. Heck, I even know Tsunami and she's only been aware of my existence for a few months.

I was asked to draw Prince Mulberry, the new guy from the soon to be released 16th book.

Well, here he is!

#WingsOfFire #wofMulberry #dragons
A picture of Prince Mulberry, the Skywing/Leafing hybrid, shown from the waist up. He is a dark reddish-pink dragon with leafy orange accents and green eyes. His expression is casually friendly and welcoming, and he is waving at the viewer. The same image of Mulberry as before, except with an added speech bubble that says "G'day mate!"

Inheritance Dispute
(continued in replies)

A brief examination of Animus magic between the first and second arcs of Wings of Fire, and how Orca's challenge of Queen Coral might have gone if she had access to arc 2's unshackled magic kit.

This is a joke btw

#WingsOfFire #wofOrca #wofCoral #dragons
A sepia-toned image sequence. A dragon is shown from behind, walking up to an illuminated doorway in front of them. The dragon from the previous panel steps out of the doorway and is revealed to be Princess Orca, daughter of Queen Coral. The Queen sits in the foreground, observing Orca as she steps into the room. Orca says: "Coral. Queen of the Seawings. My mother." The next panel shows Orca in close-up, looking up defiantly at her mother (who is off-panel). She continues: "As your eldest child and only daughter, I challenge you for the throne!" The point of view pulls back and shows Orca from behind again, standing in front of Coral who towers ominously in the back. Coral answers her daughter's challenge by saying: "Orca. My darling daughter. You cannot be serious. You are barely seven years old."

Sandwings are good at contorting and flattening themselves to crawl into narrow spaces. They do this to hide in places where the ground isn't loose enough for burying oneself. At least that's what I think.

#14 - Feline

#WingsOfFire #wofQibli #wofWinter #wof #dragon #smaugust2025 #smaugust
A comic featuring Qibli the Sandwing who is looking for Winter the Icewing. He comes across a door with a sign that says "No Qiblis allowed" and correctly surmises that Winter must be behind this door. The door has a small gap underneath through which Qibli talks to Winter, telling him that he intends to enter. Winter claims this to be impossible since the door is locked, to which Qibli simply says "Watch me." Qibli then proceeds to squeeze himself through the gap over four panels like a cat. Once all but his feet and tail have made it past the door, he greets Winter with a cheery "Hi there," while Winter can only respond with an exasperated "WHAT!?!". Truly, theirs is a beautiful friendship.

Sorry for disappearing halfway through August. Was taken out of commission by a slipped disc and could barely move. Here is a comic about Blister and Blaze.

#7 - Bones

#WingsOfFire #wof #wofBlister #wofBlaze #dragon #smaugust
A comic featuring Blister and Blaze of the Sandwing princesses. The story begins at some unspecified point in the past. Blister is sitting in her room and brewing some manner of (likely poisonous) concoction. Blaze pokes her head through the door and informs Blister that their mother wants to speak with her, which Blister blows off. The next panel shows Blister sitting in front of her work station in an awkward hollow back pose, which prompts Blaze to criticize her posture, mockingly likening it to a defecating vulture. This enrages Blister and has her chasing her out of the room. The comic then skips ahead about 20 years, showing an older Blister stretching after having gotten up from sleeping. Her back loudly cricks and pops several times, and she groans in discomfort. She laments the fact that, of all the things Blaze could have been right about, it just had to be this. She resolves to be the bigger dragon and, after thinking about it for a moment, smiles and decides she should go and kill Blaze.

Forgot to mention this, BUT: If you're running a TTRPG game and you need a quick ref for a D.born/Lizfolk NPC to hand to players, you have my blessing to borrow these.

Happy to help fellow GMs. No need for credit, just don't claim as your own, and don't cut off the sig (unless it's a private game).

#6 - Pathfinder (part 2)

Part two of the set, featuring Sunny as a Rascal Swashbuckler, Glory as a Precision Ranger, and Starflight as an Ars Grammatica Wizard #WingsOfFire #wof #wofSunny #wofGlory #wofStarflight #dragon #smaugust #pathfinder
An illustration of Glory the Rainwing as a Pathfinder character. She is drawn humanoid and in sepia-tones. She is wearing a tunic with colorful rims, light leather armor, and a long scarf that falls behind her. Her posture is fluid and springy. She is holding a stiletto dagger in one hand while grabbing onto a large crossbow affixed to her side with the other. Her expression is guarded. An illustration of Starflight the Nightwing as a Pathfinder character. He is drawn humanoid and in sepia-tones. He is clad in dark, flowing robes, a black cape with metal rimming, and a fancy-but-odd-looking layered hat. He has three scrolls with him, two affixed to his side and one unrolled and draped over his outstretched arm. His other arm/hand is trailing magical fire. His expression is stern. An illustration of Sunny the Sandwing as a Pathfinder character. She is drawn humanoid and in sepia-tones. She is wearing a light outfit with a loose-fitting shirt, vest, and baggy pants and boots. She is bracing herself against a wall or pillar while confidently raising a scimitar-like sword above her head. Her expression is jubilant and a little taunting. She seems to think she knows what she is doing.

#6 - Pathfinder (part 1)

Move over, D&D. For this I'm drawing the arc 1 goobers as Pathfinder characters. Here are Clay as a Liberation Champion and Tsunami as a Superstition Barbarian. #WingsOfFire #wof #wofClay #wofTsunami #dragon #smaugust #pathfinder
An illustration of Clay the Mudwing as a Pathfinder character. He is drawn humanoid and in sepia-tones. He is wearing a suit of platemail armor and carrying a large shield. He is kneeling on the floor, with one hand outstretched in front of him in a sort of peace offering. His expression is bright and friendly. An illustration of Tsunami the Seawing as a Pathfinder character. She is drawn humanoid and in sepia-tones. She is wearing an outfit with elaborate fur accents, with large arm bracers. She stands confidently with one hand on her hip, while holding an ornate axe in the other. The axe rests on her shoulder. She is smiling cockily.

#5 - Long

Not only am I very behind schedule with these because I keep taking too many paces lengthwise, apparently I also can't count to 4. Perhaps I should not be trusted with a pen. #smaugust #dragon
A flat color drawing on black. It depicts Flawseer, my Nightwing OC, being haunted by a draconic apparition based on Jackenstein from Deltarune. Flawseer, drawn here in bright shades of blue, yellow, and pink, is trying to write something down while looking immensely stressed. The red dragon apparition hovers over him judgmentally, telling him "YOUR TAKING TOO LONG".

Have we been here before? No, I think I'm imagining things. #wofQibli #wofKinkajou #wofTurtle #smaugust #WingsOfFire #wof #dragon
A comic featuring Qibli the Sandwing, Kinkajou the Rainwing, and Turtle the Seawing exploring some never-before-seen cave. The cave is dark and visibility is limited. Qibli asks Kinkajou if this is the right cave, and whether they have a torch to combat the darkness, but Kinkajou asserts they won't need one. She then kisses Turtle, who immediately gets so flustered he starts glowing green and illuminates the area. Qibli is delighted at the presence of green light.

There aren't enough scenes where Tamarin and Kinkajou get to hang out, so here they are gathering mushrooms in the forest (+ 1 Turtle). #wofKinkajou #wofTamarin #wofTurtle #wof #WingsOfFire #dragon #smaugust
A scene showing Tamarin, Kinkajou, and Turtle in a forest environment. They are wearing baskets strapped to their backs and are gathering mushrooms. Tamarin is in the foreground, holding a brown mushroom and inhaling its scent. She looks pleased. Kinkajou stands behind her on top of a large, moss-covered log. She is looking off into the distance, wings spread and tail curled. In the distance underneath the log, Turtle is trying to pry his sickle from a tree trunk it got stuck in while he was cutting red mushrooms. Some manner of red bird is observing this scene from the top left.

#1 - From a book

Here we'll never forget Osprey, Peril's surrogate father figure and first friend, who cared for her and taught her how to read.

Doing Smaugust again, but not as rigorously as last year. Expect missed prompts and schedule slips. #wofPeril #wofOsprey #WingsOfFire #wof
A scene showing Osprey and a very young Peril. Peril, who is just a hatchling at this point, is sitting in a charcoal brazier which is emitting a stylized smoke plume that exits the picture to the left. Peril's face is beaming with joy as she listens to Osprey, who is currently reading to her. He is much larger than Peril and his face is illuminated by the brazier's light, while he is holding a scroll. The background appears to be a chamber up in a tower. The starry night sky can be seen through a window in the back.

Cozy picture I drew of my nightwing oc, Flawseer. #wof #WingsOfFire
A scene depicting Flawseer, a Nightwing OC. Flawseer is a gray-scaled dragon with black and tan accents. He is shown in profile sitting at a low desk and writing on a scroll. The scene is backlit by a bright, round window. The setting is an office with a scroll shelf, a tall potted plant, and a small stove with a tea pot sitting on top.

I have to say: It is always nice to see my work appreciated by the dragon community. I hope it will go on to be enjoyed by many more dragons of all kinds.

Sequence of Kinkajou/Moonwatcher for Pride Month. #wofKinkajou #wofMoonwatcher #dragon #WingsOfFire #wof
A scene showing Kinkajou and Moonwatcher in an indoor location, implied to be seated at a table. Kinkajou is holding two slices of pineapple over her eyes and looking through the holes in the middle, making a goofy face with her tongue sticking out. Moonwatcher is laughing while covering her mouth. A scene showing Kinkajou and Moonwatcher in the same location as before. Kinkajou has placed a pineapple slice onto her snout in such a way that her nose spike is holding it in place in front of her. Her expression is mischievous and she points at the slice, daring Moonwatcher to go for it. Moonwatcher is blushing and looking bashfully off to the side. A scene showing two dragons in silhouette, kissing. The foreground depicts a counter top with a potted plant resting on it. The plant looks like a spherical mass of leaves with flowers growing out of it. The orange clay pot is decorated with three colorful bands--orange, white, and pink--resembling the lesbian flag.

Was asked a question about Chameleon. This two-parter image series was part of my response. It shows a hypothetical sceario of Chameleon wandering the desert and getting roped into a working in retail by a wealthy Sandwing store owner. Probably not canon. #WingsOfFire #wof #dragon #wofChameleon
A scene in an urban desert environment. Chameleon the Rainwing is walking along a sand path that is flanked by rows of white brick buildings. Windows are covered with blinds and curtains adorn a nearby door, offering privacy to whoever is inside. Chameleon is shown from the side, looking back at something off-panel. His wings are dragging on the floor and he is carrying travel supplies on his back. A sign in the shape of a snake hangs from the wall of the building behind him. The interior of a shop. An unnamed Sandwing merchant covered in gold chains is talking to Chameleon the Rainwing and telling him he is looking for someone to clean his store and sort his merchandise. He offers Chameleon "a meal a day" and "a clean corner to sleep in" if he takes the job. He inadvertently calls Chameleon a Rainwing, which makes the latter angry. The Sandwing Merchant asserts he doesn't care what Chameleon wants to call himself and asks if he will take the job. Chameleon appears unsure how to proceed.

Here is Sunny. Dear, wonderful Sunny.

Feeling somewhat frustrated with my recent artistic endeavors, I've turned to drawing our golden beetle princess to reinvigorate my spirits. One can always count on Sunny to chase away the dregs of irritation.

#WingsOfFire #wof #dragon #wofSunny
A portrait of Sunny from Wings of Fire, drawn from the shoulders up. She is shown in profile, looking towards the left. Sunny is a gold-scaled dragon with orange accents and a cream-colored neck. She has two backwards-facing horns and a small spike on the tip of her nose, all being brown in color. The image's color palette is very predominantly yellow and orange, with the single exception being Sunny's vibrantly green eye. She looks attentive and excited.

A series of pictures I drew in response to being asked about Pike, Princess Anemone's bodyguard. I don't know how much sense they will make without the accompanying text, but I'm posting them anyway. #WingsOfFire #wof #dragon #wofPike #wofAnemone #wofCoral
A panel showing Pike and Princess Anemone. Anemone approaches from the left, smiling mischievously and holding a flashy pink star bauble. She calls Pike "Pikey", then announces that she is bored and intends to decorate Pike with kitschy accessories to alleviate her boredom. Pike sits across from her, his head cocked up and posture rigid, exclaiming "Yes, my liege! Thank you, my liege!" A close up panel of Pike, looking determined and dutiful. His head and face are adorned with various knickknacks, including a string of beads, a chain of moons and stars, a white-flecky ribbon, a necklace of tiny bells, and a pastel-rainbow-colored shawl hanging from one of his ears and looping down and over his shoulders. Two fuzzy bobbles sit upon the tips of his horns. Anemone's hand comes into frame from the left, holding a colorful chain of interlocking miniature squids. A panel showing Princess Anemone and Queen Coral conversing while looking out of a window towards the viewer. Coral is several times larger than Anemone, who is casting a small shadow on the Queen's face. Anemone expresses that a guard she is observing (Pike) is amusing her. She asks "May I have him?", signifying her desire to have him be made her servant. A panel showing Pike being talked to by a larger dragon of a similar coloration, stated to be his parent. They are wearing blue armor and look tense, a bit unhinged even. The larger dragon is impressing on Pike how much of an honor it is to be liked by the Princess, and how important an opportunity this is for the well-being and reputation of their family. They implore Pike not to mess this up, grabbing him by the shoulders while doing so.

Just a little sketch to stretch my drawing muscles. See if they haven't fallen asleep yet.
#WingsOfFire #wof #dragon #wofBlister
Two colored sketches of Princess Blister from Wings of Fire, from the neck up. The first one depicts her head jolting upwards suddenly, as if waking up with a start. Her eyes are widened in surprise and she looks startled. The second sketch shows her hunched over, groggy, with a shadow draped over her eyes. She looks exhausted and miserable. Her crown sits on her head askew and undignified, and she moans in discomfort.

And here is part 3 of my wof anthro excursion apparently. Featuring the false dragonets of destiny, hanging out on some kind of bridge it seems.
#WingsOfFire #wof #dragon #wofFlame #wofViper #wofSquid #wofOchre #wofFatespeaker
A scene depicting the false dragonets of destiny with anthropomorphic body shapes. It is set on top of a roofed bridge, with some high-rise buildings visible in the background. Flame is leaning against one of the pillars, looking irritated. He is wearing a dark red hoodie and partially ripped jeans, while a plume of smoke is rising from his nostrils. Viper is standing next to him, wearing a gray tanktop with baggy pants, chains, and bracelets. Her fist is raised and she seems to have just punched Squid in the shoulder, as he is wincing in pain. He is wearing a blue sweater vest with garish yellow pants. Ochre stands in the background, with his back turned towards the camera, looking out towards the streets and seeming disinterested. He is wearing a green pants/beige shirt combo with suspenders. Fatespeaker stands off to the side in a kind of meditative pose, looking detached from the scene. Her ensemble is an odd mishmash consisting of a drab black dress, dark purple socks, and a very vibrantly colored cloth tied around her waist. She is also wearing a ramshackle necklace made from a number of smooth rocks, all in different colors and sizes.

#WingsOfFire #wof #dragon #wofClay #wofTsunami #wofGlory #wofStarflight #wofSunny
A scene depicting the Dragonets of Destiny with anthropomorphic body shapes in an urban environment. The scene is set against the outside of some residential building, with a grassy yard to the right and a brick wall in the back, separating the lot from the neighboring house. Clay, in a flannel shirt, is standing atop the first step of some stairs, looking content. His hands rest against the backs of Tsunami (wearing denim) and Starflight (in a tan sweater), the former pranking the latter by snatching away a book he was reading. Off to the left of them is Glory, leaning against the wall and observing. She is wearing a leather jacket and a pair of ripped long pants, and holding a steaming paper cup in her hand. Sunny is sitting on the floor, half cross-legged, looking relaxed. She is wearing a light shirt with a sunflower motif, a bright orange scarf, and a checkered skirt.

It is inadvisable to play board games against Starflight. #WingsOfFire #wof #dragon #wofStarflight #wofFatespeaker
A three panel comic strip featuring Starflight and Flawseer (original character) playing a strategy-based board game. Flawseer is looking self-assured, while Starflight's expression is neutral. He calls out "Sentinel to H7, capture the outpost." Fatespeaker then comes into frame and moves pieces on the board according to his instructions. Flawseer meanwhile, observing this, goes from surprise to being outright flabbergasted at Starflight's move. The scene ends with Starflight grinning.

#WingsOfFire #wof #dragon #wofWinter
Prince Winter, drawn in profile, sits with his gaze cast skyward, a blank expression on his face. He is wreathed in dark shadows, looking deeply sad. The sky is overcast with heavy, dark gray clouds, and it is raining. Prince Winter is surrounded by his friends--Qibli, Moonwatcher, Kinkajou, and Turtle--who all embrace him and are happy he is there with them.
