Letters between General V.M. Aquilo and Priest of the Sanctum Hibernal Middlemist during the war of silver and stars.

Part one

It was wonderfully cold out, dead of winter and just past dusk. Outside the deer hide tent, the wind whipped through the quickly assembled military camp. Her makeshift desk was, in fact, a crate within which was grain if she wasn't mistaken. It didn't truly matter- quiet moments were hard to come by. Still, even when she had them, there was work to be done.

"Dear Hibernal Mid Aquilo,"

Was it appropriate to refer to him only by name? They had been married only a few moons- It might be tactical, at least. It wasn't like she could share any important information lest this be intercepted- if she were being strictly war-minded, she wouldn't write at all for that same concern.

"It's dusk as I write this, and the weather looks as though it will allow us safe passage. Morale remains high, and the enemy forces have struggled to pass through the mountains due to their low tolerance of high altitudes."

Allmother above, it sounds like a military report- Come on Verglas, he's a priest, not a soldier. Reflection always said she couldn't take anything lightly..

"I have sustained no significant injuries, and expect this conflict to be shorter than previously reported- I apologize for my continued absence, and look forward to seeing you again."

"- Verglas M. Aquilo"

If its tips you want, tips you can have!

I like to draw the curve of the neck starting at the center of the back of the head, closer to the top! Then any spines u draw can follow that transition space nice n cleanly.

Don't be afraid to mix it up! I like using boxes, triangles, or circles to map out the main head and snout shapes, normally triangles are just for the snout lol. And the distance between them can really alter the appearance!

Here's a very sketchy example of 'joint mapping' or whatever you wanna call it :]

Im really new to drawing dragons

Please give me some tips!

I did another

i’ve been thinking about how the dragons in WoF age, so here’s a small comparison between hatchling, teen, and ancient darkstalker

*adds it to the pile*

IceWings

In my headcanon of WoF, IceWings are large, albatross-like dragons. They are adorned with many long, delicate spikes that often resemble icicles. The number of spikes will vary depending on the individual dragon, but typically healthier IceWings will have more than unhealthy IceWings.

IceWings are one of the few dragons with sexual dimorphism, that being the shape of their skulls. While all IceWings have a unique, angular snout that makes a sharp turn where their upper jaw meets their lower jaw, the snout is often more exaggerated in male IceWings. (The adult IceWing pictured above is a somewhat young male.)

IceWings have two sets of teeth, an outer set and an inner set. The outer set of teeth rests on top of their lips, attached to the upper jaw. These teeth are incredibly strong and are designed for gripping onto slippery prey, like fish. When IceWings hatch, they are only born with two of these outer teeth. As they grow older, they will gradually gain more outer teeth, forming an almost zipper-like pattern across their mouth.

IceWings have extremely long wings, designed for catching ocean air currents and soaring at sea for long periods of time, like albatross birds do. They can spend upwards of a month at sea without landing, but are less capable flying for this length of time across land; the average IceWing can only fly for about 4 hours over land, if there are no air currents to carry them.

Unlike other dragon tribes, IceWings have a much lower requirement for oxygen, and a higher tolerance for low air pressure. Thanks to this, they have the advantage of being able to reach astonishing heights without any trouble breathing. IceWings tend to drop down on other dragons from the sky, since the rest of the tribes are limited to lower altitudes to save their breath.

Thanks to this lower oxygen requirement as well, IceWings are exceptional at ambush and feigning death on the battlefield, with their ability to take shallow, unnoticeable breaths with no struggle. This is also what allows them to take underwater routes into enemy territory, if need be.

This innate lack of need for a typical amount of breathing makes them appear uncanny to other tribes. They are near perfectly still in most calm situations, and this tends to freak other dragons out.

He eepin

dont you just love narrative parallels because i sure do

More Hibernal and Verglas! I adore them.
