I do like Turtle as a character, but his book was just kind of boring to read. Turtle is too passive of a character, so the majority is spend watching Darkstalker gaslit his way to victory, which is just not very interesting. In return, Turtle gets very little character development and story.

I can't really put all my thoughts about them in a single post, but in short: I like the ideas behind Book 14, I just think the execution falls really short. I didn't believe the character arc, and found the themes underdeveloped and oversimplified, when it was handled in Book 7 with more depth.

Hatwolf @hatwolf.bsky.social · 50m

They are not. Book 9 and 14 are easily my least favourite books in the entire series, but I already seen, that especially 14, is actually really popular for a lot of people, so... 😅

But in return, Book 7 is nowhere near as the best book for most people either, and that one is peak.

You are very much welcome! I just really love your work and what you did for Lyska ^w^

If you don’t already, I highly recommend following Vae, especially if you don't mind art that features nudity. Their dedication to light, posing, and mood is remarkable and a huge inspiration to me.

Thank you again, Vae — I hope we can trade art another time. ^w^ (8/8)

Hatwolf @hatwolf.bsky.social · 16h

This piece really capture Lyska’s core identity. Which is strange, because Vae certainly doesn't know the story at all, since the book isnt out yet. When I finish writing it though, I genuinely want to send Vae a copy just for how perfectly they captured her spirit 😁 (7/8)

The unclothed version especially hits hard in subtle ways. Her scars are visible, marks of a violent past, yet she looks calm and beautiful, vulnerable in a quiet way. It captures the contrast at her core: deer and wolf, prey and predator, hurt and healing. It feels true to her. (6/8)

A stylized illustration of an anthropomorphic deer/wolf woman standing indoors, looking back over her shoulder toward the viewer. She has brown fur with lighter markings, white speckles along her back and hips, long reddish-brown hair, blue eyes, and branching antlers. Her expression is soft and slightly wistful. She is depicted nude but shown from the side with no explicit detail, her body mostly obscured by pose and lighting. Warm sunlight streams through a large window behind her, casting a golden glow across her fur and highlighting the gentle atmosphere of the scene.

And the artwork is absolutely phenomenal. Vae created two versions: one clothed, one unclothed, both with Lyska standing by a window, bathed in warm light as she turns toward the viewer. It’s serene, tender, calm. It's so lovingly framed too. (5/8)

I didn’t expect a revenge attack, but Vae surprised me in the best way possible. I had always hoped to one day see my bestfolk OC Lyska drawn by them, and in a perfect coincidence, that is exactly the character they chose. Lyska is rarely picked during Artfight, so this meant a lot. (4/8)

Hatwolf @hatwolf.bsky.social · 16h

I first really noticed Vae’s work when my friend Dora commissioned a pinup from them. She was so genuinely happy with how her fursona was depicted, and that impression stuck with me. So when Artfight arrived, I wanted to give something back and attacked them first. (3/8)

Hatwolf @hatwolf.bsky.social · 16h

Vae is a prolific artist with a stunning style, an incredible eye for color and light, and a way of drawing fantastical bodies that is both sensual and deeply beautiful. Clothed or unclothed, their characters always feel alive, warm, and full of personality. (2/8)

Hatwolf @hatwolf.bsky.social · 16h

Today I want to talk about the 6th attack I received during Artfight 2025, and this one is from @vateo.art . And honestly… I’ll try not to write an entire essay, but this might be one of my favourite artworks I have ever gotten. Not just in Artfight, in general. I love it a lot! (1/8)

A stylized illustration of an anthropomorphic deer/wolf woman standing indoors, turned halfway toward the viewer. She has soft brown fur, long reddish-brown hair, blue eyes, and a pair of branching antlers. She wears a casual outfit consisting of a white shirt with rolled-up sleeves, a teal vest, and loose beige pants with a red sash around her waist. Warm sunlight streams through a large window behind her, casting golden light across her back and highlighting the gentle, thoughtful expression on her face.

Mich hat eher gestörrt, wie kuschelig die meisten Drachen auf einmal so sind, im Vergleich zu den vorherigen Büchern. Buch 14 erinnert zwischendurch an eine Folge My Little Pony, aber mit Drachen ^w^''

Hatwolf @hatwolf.bsky.social · 1d

Das war aber auch schon in Darkstalker, wenn ich mich recht entsinne 🤔

Hatwolf @hatwolf.bsky.social · 1d

Ich find Buch 11 ist das beste Buch von Arc 3, das hatte irgendwo die beste Charakterentwicklung für Blu. Danach sind 12 okay, 13 ziemlich meh. 14 ist mit Abstand das schlechteste Buch, ich weiß gar nicht warum das so viele mögen. Und Buch 15 war dann eigentlich wieder okay.

Hatwolf @hatwolf.bsky.social · 1d

Ich glaub, dass ich ziemlich unterschiedliche Meinungen zu den Büchern habe als die meisten Fans, wenn ich mir andere Rankings so anschaue x3

Hatwolf @hatwolf.bsky.social · 1d

I know that the entire Wings of Fire fandom has waited eagerly for me to finish Book 15, to give a 100% objective, scientificly accurate ranking of all the main books.

So here it is, the final word on how the main books rank. You are welcome 😘

Because it's trapped on apple's platform, last time I checked.

Probably "I just want to left alone, but all my 'friends' are maniacs" sort of friend.

Sneak peak of the last dragon in the cast of Dragons of Hoardwater Vale (WIP name)! His name is Suldren, and he is a Vaultfire Dragon. Somewhat of a grumpy and grouchy personality, as you can see.

#Art #Dragon #Fantasy #AfterSilence

A full-body illustration of a sleek, black-and-gold dragon standing in a three-quarter pose. The dragon has bright golden scales along the throat, chest, belly, and tail underside, with orange markings on the legs and shoulders. Large wings fade from gold to deep orange to black at the edges. The dragon has long black horns, smaller golden horns, and sharp teal-blue eyes with a confident expression. Golden spines run along the tail, and the claws are orange with bright gold highlights. The background is a muted purple, and the artist’s signature “Hatwolf 2025” appears in the corner.

I just love how you draw eyes 👀
