Winter the Icewing
[Image Description: A digital full body of an Icewing dragon from Wings of Fire named Winter. He is deer like, with a light sky blue fur coat, glistening hooves, horns and spikes that are like icicles and crystals down his back and on his tail. He has baby blue socks and mask markings that are pointed he also has a white underbelly and feathery wings that have diamond points similar to those of snowflakes. He also has long whiskers and fangs that poke out. He has concentrated deep blue eyes with a concerned look on his face. He is standing with one hoof up in the air. /.END ID]
I’d love to see your take on Blue! I love how he looks and think your style would look great with him! I also just really wanna see you fully render a silkwing, so pretty
thanks so much Kai (o´v`o) I hope you enjoy this piece!
Here's my redesign! In my opinion, what Blue really needs is a better name- so I decided to stay as true to his original color scheme as I could. I added more greens to make him look more visibly related to Luna, as well as my own vibrant/bright tones for a little pop. Blue's wing shape and translucent appearance was inspired by the Melanus Blue and Godart's Morpho butterfly species, but the colors and patterns were mostly my own intuition (and attempt to create more harmony in my design.) When it comes to representing Blue's personality through appearance, I didn't want to illustrate the misconception that he is cowardly or weak - but rather a (mostly) calm, considerate dragon. I found that this was best conveyed through the use of curved lines and circle/wave patterns which I often associate with nature, meditation and the assurance Blue has in his identity/core values by the end of the arc. his posture and facial expression helped a lot too, mostly by creating a sense of confidence. There are a few other choices I made, but I'll leave them for you guys to interpret!
Returning readers are probably tired of hearing this, but thank you so much! I love seeing new requests in my askbox, as well as learning more about your favorite characters and why you love them so.
My current character waitlist looks like this: Sunny, Clearsight, Luna, freedom, Bigtail, Cricket, Clay, Blaze, Queen Thorn, Starflight, Darkstalker, Tsunami, Kinkajou, Lady Jewel, Queen Scarlet, Whiteout, Queen Pearl, The Librarian, Listener, and Winter.
Safe to say it might take a while to get around to them! I'm trying not to go through any particular order since sometimes certain characters just call - but if you don't see your favorite or have any other questions, come visit my askbox! I'm more than happy to share my brushes, process or any other resource I can provide to my fellow artists.
See you later |ω・)ノ
Tsunami! Had some trouble getting her "canon" colors right because all of her refs on the WoF wiki are slightly different shades of blue.
[Start ID: A digital drawing of a headshot of the character Tsunami, a Seawing dragon from the book series Wings of Fire. Tsunami is mostly a rich blue in appearance, with a light blue underbelly. She has aquatic attributes like fins on her back, barbels on her chin, and gills. She is smiling with her white sharp teeth visible. Her eyes have white sclera and green pupils. She has two dark blue horns, and her fins have dark blue spikes with light turquoise webbing. The background of the piece is a muted yellowish green, with lighter lines shaped like waves and bubbles. In the upper left corner is a watermark with the username "TheCraftyDragonC". End ID.]
